Is this still part of staff's recommendation? I disagree with any structural changes to Eco Pass at this time, but I'm particularly troubled by the willingness of staff to lock out those district residents who aren't fortunate enough to get grandfathered into an existing neighorhood program. It's not fair, it's not right, and to be honest, I suspect it's not legal. I don't see how RTD can allow some neighborhoods to continue participating while arbitrarily telling other residents they may not; seems to me, they are going to need to either kill the neighborhood program entirely (I'm sure that will be a popular decision) or they need to keep the rules the same for ALL district residents.
