RTA board of trustees meeting -- The Finance Committee meets at 9 a.m. to discuss a proposed across-the-board fare increase, RTA’s first in 13 years. The move is prompted by skyrocketing fuel costs that have more than tripled in recent years. If the Committee recommends the proposal to the full Board, it will be voted on at a Board meeting that immediately follows the Committee meeting.

This action comes after several Board discussions at earlier meetings, and eight public hearings in late April and early May. If approved by the Board, increased fares could take effect as early as July 1.

Join Entrepreneurs for Sustainability on May 16 to learn the how and why to mow less, pave less, water less and use less chemicals to save more money and create a healthier work place and community. If you are looking for a new business opportunity, the landscape and paving industries are changing and with change comes opportunity.

Speakers will include:

• Tori Mills, Shaker Lakes Nature Center
• Kathy Hanratty, Eviroscapes Landscape Design
• Alec McClennan, Good Nature Organic Lawn Care
