The board report for meetings that I attended in July is now available through the AAC page under board reports. EBAE braille, UEB braille, and a word document is available.

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 16:05:00 -0700 The Board report is now available https://www.jaredrimer.com/aac The Accessibility Advisory Committee will meet on August 13, 2026. As part of this package, I've compiled a report of issues which also includes some questions as part of our presentation for this meeting. The agenda package and my report on the Metro Elevator stuff is now available on the AAC page. I've also removed stuff from April and May that were older. I also put up the instructions on how to join us, as well as a link to the "Code of Conduct for Advisory Body documentation" if members of the AAC need it. Fri, 07 Aug 2026 15:30:00 -0700 The Accessibility Advisory Committee package for August 2026 https://www.jaredrimer.com/board The Board of Directors will meet on July 23, 2026. We have now published the agenda package and instructions to join. This will not be the workflow. Once we publish the agenda for a meeting, instructions will appear on how to join that meeting. It'll be at the top of the page where the meeting will appear, in this case, the board page. We forgot to put the instructions for Operations, so we're making sure this doesn't happen again. The board files are in PDF, English Braille American Edition and Unified English Braille. Mon, 20 Jul 2026 18:43:00 -0700 The Board of Directors agenda package https://www.jaredrimer.com/operations The Operations, Safety and Customer Experience agenda has been updated with some issues including some punctuation cleanup and line formatting issues. You will need to download a new copy of EBAE and UEB, depending of what you use. This is the last update for this package. Sun, 12 Jul 2026 15:40:00 -0700 The Operations, safety and Customer experience meeting agenda has been updated https://www.jaredrimer.com/operations The Operations, safety and Customer Experience agenda package is now available on the operations page of this web site. It is available in PDF, EBAE braille and UEB braille. We think we now have an excellent transcription policy going forward and think this our best work yet on this package. The meeting will be on Thursday, July 16, 2026 at 1 PM, so come join me. Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:28:00 -0700 The Operations, safety and Customer experience meeting agenda https://www.jaredrimer.com/coca After additional review and research, we have updated the UEB copy of the Item 21 text so that it more closely conforms to UEB and the layout of the original document. This work is now complete, and we encourage anyone who previously downloaded the UEB copy to download the new version. We now have a clearer understanding of how to handle similar documents in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your support. Visit www.jaredrimer.com/coca to get your copy. Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:17:00 -0700 Item 21 in UEB, again https://www.jaredrimer.com/psac The Public Safety Advisory Committee will be meeting on Thursday.

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 14:40:00 -0700 The Public Safety Advisory Committee agenda package for July https://www.jaredrimer.com/coca The Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies (coca) page has been update with a file correction for the "code" itself. While reading it for an upcoming podcast, we found things that needed immediate attention to fix. The file sizes have also been updated on the "code" and "item 21's file" itself due to the recent changes. If you've downloaded braille of the Code, please get a new copy, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Sat, 27 Jun 2026 08:39:00 -0700 A Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies file update https://www.jaredrimer.com This web site has been updated with a find that may be of interest. Metro has a full contact directory of different departments and resources that may be of interest. The entire web site has this update, and a small Spanish note is included in this section. Ping if you have any questions. Contact info is on the web site. Mon, 22 Jun 2026 09:55:00 -0700 A footer update https://www.jaredrimer.com/coca The Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies web site has just been updated with transcription fixes after finding some issues during proofreading for a podcast release. We have corrected these errors. If you have downloaded braille copies of item 21, the JRN advises patrons to get a new copy of the appropriate BRF you downloaded at www.jaredrimer.com/coca. Thank you for your continued support on the COCA project we've been working on for the past week. Sat, 20 Jun 2026 09:35:00 -0700 The Code of Conduct for Advisory Committees update https://www.jaredrimer.com This is an update about the web site in general. 1. We created a Code of Conduct for Advisory Bodies page shortened to COCA. This page will talk about the history of what this document is, and allow people to download copies in EBAE, UEB, plain text (item 21 and the code itself) as well as the original PDF documents. 2. The JRN has also moved Ben's notice from the home page to a memorials and special notices page so that the home page only has current content. These new resources are available through the updated links navigation on each page of the site, and the updates are in the section dealing with the main web page. 3. Finally, you'll see a navigational aid I call "You Are Here." This aid can be used should something break. Send that to me, or reference its text when you find something that's broken. Thanks for reading, have a great day! Thu, 18 Jun 2026 17:42:00 -0700 Web site updates including two new pages https://www.jaredrimer.com/aac The AAC page is getting updated to add the Accessibility Rider report, and the Accesibility report from Meetings Attended from April to June.

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:47:00 -0700 AAC page update for June 10, 2026 https://www.jaredrimer.com/aac The AAC page is getting updated by removing older meeting packages and older reports for February and March. If a link is broken to something still linked to the page, please use the contact info on the web site to contact Jared and tell him what page you were on and what you were expecting. If the document is still available, Jared can provide it to you as an attached file. Let him know what format you need whether print, braille, and if braille what size file and format whether EBAE or UEB. The June AAC package is also being made available with this update with PDF, Word, UEB and EBAE braille. Thank you for your time, and thanks for reading! Tue, 07 Jun 2026 18:05:00 -0700 AAC page update https://rss.com/podcasts/a-day-in-the-life-of-jared-at-l-a-metro/ Podcasts will be released within the hour for both SFV and PSAC which will go through the agenda packages of both podcasts. We will then push up the joining instructions to the SFV after the second podcast is released. At 6 PM, PSAC will get its two day podcast release, and at 6:30 the SFV will get its one day notice. We try to push podcasts within two days of meeting time talking about the packages and potentially what to watch for.

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 11:30:00 -0700 The Public Safety Advisory Committee https://www.jaredrimer.com/sfv We have pushed out an update with the San Fernando Service Council agenda package which has 10 items this time including elections of chair and vice chair for FY 27 and other regular updates. The agenda is available in PDF, English American Braille and Unified English Braille. All files in braille are 40 cell. If you need another format, contact me through the website by Tuesday evening to request it. I can provide 30 cell or either format. We are following EBAE rules as we only use one formatting file to do the conversion in to both languages. Sun, 31 May 2026 19:57:00 -0700 The San Fernando Service Council update https://www.jaredrimer.com We have pushed out a web site update clarifying some terminology of committees and their names throughout the site. While some people may be familiar with one name, Metro may call the committees other names. Each official page that talks about a committee was updated with this fact. Also, the Board Of Directors (Board) and the Operations Committee (operations, safety and customer experience) will not meet in June due to the world cup. These pages specifically have notices on them, but I'll mention it here since I'm updating. Fri, 29 May 2026 11:03:00 -0700 A web site update updating terminology and meeting updates https://rss.com/podcasts/a-day-in-the-life-of-jared-at-l-a-metro/ My podcast, called "A Day in the Life of Jared at L.A.

Welcome all new subscribers to the podcast! This is the first push since the podcast's inception.
