Brown mentioned a bill is going to be introduced into the Wisconsin State

Legislature for volunteer driver insurance protection.

2. Updates from Greater Madison Metropolitan Planning Organization - Ben Lyman

Lyman said Metro Transit is now serving Verona and Monona, and paratransit

is available in both of them as well.

Lyman mentioned at the last MPO Policy Board Meeting the Tip Amendment

was approved to include the 5310 Project Awards. The projects funded were

the Mobility Management Project for the county, Paratransit eligibility coordinator

at Metro and New Bridge Madison operational funding.

Lyman brought up the concern over the out of class electric vehicles (OCEV).

You don't peddle these, you push a button and can go from 30 to 60 mph. They

are not legal to use on roads or sidewalks, only on private property. The MPO is

working on drafting recommendations for local communities and the State to

look at local restrictions.
