Honorable Mayor Robert C. Frazee:
Your North County Transit District has a new monthly Econo-
pass program which will greatly assist the citizens of your
city.
The program is set up for three g'.'oups. All offer unlimited
rides per month for the following groups:
A. Econopass - For regular patrons, $10 a month.
B. Studentpass - For full-time college students (minimum
12 units) and below for $8 per month.
C. Helperpass - For senior citizens and the handicapped
for $5 a month. Seniors are 60 years of age or
older. Handicapped must have a written statement
from a doctor or applicable agency.
This is a good program, but we need your help. We would like
you to sell these passes for us. Our accounting regulations
are simple and, after all, we are here to serve the people.
This is another piece of information you should know. This
month and this month only, all passes will be sold at one-half
price. By the way, we need Co move fast so there will be some-
body contacting you seeking your assistance and aiding you in
setting up the program.
This is a public service venture that is topical, worthwhile
and will benefit both our agencies. This joint activity has
worked very well in the South County as well as other parts of
the county.
Thank you in advance for your aid.
