Review the downtown Free Fare Zone
Transit & transportation · Feb 24, 2026
What changed
Council asked for a comprehensive safety, equity and financial review of the downtown Free Fare Zone.
City Clerk's Council and Committee Votes · reviewed Oct 29, 2026Why this decision is included
The initial fare-zone review explains the subsequent deferral. Reviewing an option is distinct from adopting it and remains unscored on rail investment.
How votes are grouped: The initial review, deferral and proposed administrative transfer concern one fare-zone process. They remain unscored and cannot become independent rail-investment choices.
What Yes meant
Commission the review and its recommendations.
What No meant
Decline this particular review direction.
Alternatives and outcome
Commission the review, retain the current arrangement without this review, or seek a different investigation.

Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
