Moment of Silence - Chair’s Announcement  
Before we proceed with today’s agenda, I would like to acknowledge the tragic transit

seriously injured.  
We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones affected, and we  
honor the life and service of TRAX driver Kelly Langstaff, whose loss is profoundly felt

We also wish to recognize and thank the first responders and emergency personnel
