Youth Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 10/4/18 Page 2of2 Transportation Project — • Presentation from Addie: Addie presented to the board about our marketing strategies, including Instagram ads, schoology posts, articles in the school magazine, principal calls home, mailers, and events/giveaways. For giveaways, the board talked about giving away MyRide cards with a small dollar amount to give to students to get them to use the FlexRide. • Feedback from Commuting Solutions — Jade from commuting solutions visited the board to talk about the CaII-n-Ride. o New name for Call-n-Ride — The call-n-ride will be going though a rebranding in mid -January (around January 13th) and be renamed the FlexRide. With FlexRide, people will be able to book 10 minutes in advance through using the new website or app. For people aged 6-19, the cost will be 90 cents per local ride. The board decided to do two different posting windows to promote the new FlexRide. Jade suggested adding more information about the MyRide card to the mailer/flyer that talks about what the MyRide card is and where you can find them. The board hopes to get the information out within the next month and a half. • Next Steps o Letter to Parents — Jessica will look into a contact through the school to get the flyers sent out to students in BVSD. o Schoology Posts — Addie said she would talk to Tony Tolbert about getting a schoology post at Monarch and Sophie said she would talk to people at Centaurus about getting information in their video announcements. o Organizing Events — Addie said she would talk to Monarch 360 about getting a spot in the 8th grade transition night to set up a booth for the FlexRide. o Other — Jessica suggested trying to reach other schools in BVSD.
