That we'll call this meeting of the
Committee to order and ask for a safety briefing from Frank Castellan our chief safety security compliance officer
Morning, Chair McAllen committee members. So as a safety briefing reminder in the event of a fire alarm activation
We will all exit in uniformly
Down the stairs to outside customers Metro customer service. We will wait for the all clear or further instructions at that point
In the event of an earthquake, we're going to drop cover underneath a preferably desk
structural member of the building, wait for the shaking stop, do an assessment of whether or not we'll exit the building.
In the event of a first aid situation,
I will be your first aid provider. I'll ask Michelle Pena to call 911 and contact Metro Security and
the event of an active attacker run a hide fight. And please be mindful of your environment and surroundings and that
concludes this morning's safety briefing.
Thank you, Frank
Next we have our pledge of allegiance and I'll ask second
Vice chair, Bergson to lead us in the pledge
and for
Unfortunately, I don't think
I'm currently or I heard the pledge being read, but that's okay
Maybe next time we can mic them up
Vice chair chafee
Second vice chair Bergson here director Tremblay
here director Najarian
chair McCallin
Here we do have a quorum present
Thank you very much
Do we have any public comment?
We have not received any request to speak or any written public comment
Just a reminder this meeting is streaming live for public
to hear us and ensure that the recording
can capture the audio that is requested.
That when I remember motions or seconds of motion
to please announce the last name for the record
and those of you participating on Zoom,
keep your camera on at all times.
Next, we'll go on to our regular calendar,
which is an action item 6A, approval of the meeting minutes.
If there's no corrections or need to pull the item,
your motion I move approval of the minutes
we have a motion on a second that I'm a secretary would you call for the vote
Vice Chair chafee I second vice chair Bergson yes director Tremblay abstain due
to absence chair McCallin yes that motion carries very good on to 6 be our
by low carbon transit operation program resolution.
An action item presented by Jennifer Raines,
our manager to from grants.
Good morning, Chair McPher.
And members of the committee.
This is an action item requesting adoption
of a resolution required to be included
in our allocation request for fiscal year 2022 23,
LC top funding.
The low carbon transit operations program
is a cap and trade funded program administered by Caltrans.
This program is intended to provide operating
and capital assistance for projects
that reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and improve mobility with a priority
on serving disadvantaged communities.
You can see here a history of funding levels
and projects supported by LC Top Funds since 2015.
This year, the program is providing approximately 4 million.
We're excited to propose using this year's funding
to create a student adventure pass pilot program
offering free travel for students and youth
throughout the Metrolinx system.
With the funding available,
we project the program to last six months.
And if successful, we intend to seek additional funding
to continue the program.
Staff plans to return to the committee and board in July
to provide full details about this program.
This resolution authorizes the authority
to request an allocation from the LC Top Program
for the student adventure pass pilot project.
It also asks the board to acknowledge
the certification and assurances required by the program.
Finally, it authorizes the chief executive officer,
chief strategy officer, and the chief financial officer
to execute all legal documents required
to receive and administer LC top funding.
This concludes my report,
and I'm happy to answer any questions.
Thank you, Jennifer.
Are there any questions or comments on this item?
Seeing our hearing none, is there a motion?
Tremblay, move.
Trefue, seconds.
We have a motion and a second, Madam Secretary,
would you call for the vote?
Vice Chair Chaffee?
Aye.
Second Vice Chair Burksen?
Yes.
Director Tremblay?
Yes.
Chair McCallin?
Yes.
That motion carried.
I am 6C, which is a change to the employer, a contribution for health benefits for represented
employees.
This is an action item presented by Roxanne Randolph, our senior manager of human resources.
Roxanne?
Good morning, Chair McCallin and members of the committee.
I'm reporting on item 6C, change to the employer contribution for health benefits for represented
ATU employees.
Next slide, please.
On September 23rd, 2022, the Board approved CalPERS resolutions to change the employer
contribution for health benefits for unrepresented employees and eligible retirees to 87.5 percent,
effective 1-1-23.
ATU members remained under the previous cost-sharing arrangements because their benefits are subject
to negotiations, which have now concluded
and the successor collective bargaining agreement was
approved by the board on April 28, 2023.
Article 21 of the CBA states
that the authority will contribute 87.5% of the premium
for employee and eligible dependents for health benefits.
Next slide, please.
Therefore, staff recommends the adoption
of CalPERS resolutions to change the employer contribution for health benefits for ATU members
in accordance with Article 21 of the CBA.
The effective date of the change will be August 1st, 2023, in accordance with CalPERS regulations.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have about this item.
Thank you.
Thank you, Roxanne.
If you have any questions or comments on this item,
reading or hearing none, this is an action item,
is your motion.
Cheyfe approves the item,
moves to approve, sorry.
Is there a second?
Tremblay second.
I'll second it.
We have a motion with a second, Madam Secretary,
would you call for the vote?
Vice Chair Cheyfe.
Aye.
Second Vice Chair Burksen.
Yes.
Director Tremblay.
Yes.
Chair McCallin.
Yes.
That motion carried.
Next we have item 6D, a cooperative agreement for continuance of the rail-to-rail program
with the Los Angeles, San Diego, San Luis, San Bespo corridor agency and the National
Pascua Railroad Corporation.
This will be presented as an action item presented by Monica Correa, our Senior Manager of Railroad
Services.
Monica?
Hi.
Good morning and thank you for the introduction.
I'm here this morning to report on item 60, an action item that proposes to extend the
rail-to-rail program for another six months.
Next slide, please.
As a quick overview, the rail-to-rail program has been in place since 2003, and it is a
partnership with Losan and Amtrak to provide Metrolink and Pacific Surf Liner riders with
additional departure options within the Ventura and Orange County lines and portions of the
Annalope Valley Line, 91 Paris Valley Line,
and the Inland Empire Orange County Line.
Last July, the board approved a time extension
to continue the rail-to-rail program until June 30th, 2023.
The agreement is soon to expire,
and SCRA staff recommends that this committee
consider extending the program an additional six months
while staff finalizes negotiations with Losan
to update the code share terms.
Once the code shared terms have been finalized,
staff will return to this committee
with a revised agreement for your review and consideration.
Next slide, please.
At this time, staff is asking
that this committee recommend to the board
that they authorize SCRA chief executive officer
to execute an amendment to the rail to rail agreement
and extend the program until December 31st, 2023
for a total maximum amount of $200,000,
amount that has been budgeted as part of the FY24 operating budget that is expected to be adopted
June 23rd. Next slide please. This concludes my presentation and thank you for your
considerations. I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you Monica. Are there any comments or
questions on this item. Yeah, Larry, I have a couple questions.
Go ahead, go ahead. Thank you. So what can you tell us, if anything, are the sticking
points here that are going to be modified or that you're looking to change over the
next six years? So one of the things that we're trying to
do is go over the CodeShare program. Currently, four out of the Pacific Surfliner trains are
consider code share. The goal is to hopefully make all of those trains code
share, so essentially making 10 of those. Also we're currently working on kind
of refining the fare enforcement blackout provisions and reimbursement
rates. So if I get that correctly right now there's 10 trains and only four of
of them can be used by Metrolink ticket holders.
At this point, you're trying to get all 10 of them,
so it's basically 100% of the option?
Correct.
That's correct.
Currently, Mr. Wilksen, we have,
so on the Ventura County portion of the line,
we have the four trains.
Our hope is to get to a point where we have all trains
that serve on our quarters,
both the Orange County Line and the Ventura County Line.
Rail to rail works on the Orange County Line,
but it does not, using another ticket,
you can't use that on a surf liner train.
What we're in negotiations with right now is effectively,
you can take any train on both the Ventura County Line
and the Orange County Line.
We're very, very close on the Ventura County Line
in that negotiation, and I think their look,
they being low standard, seeing that as a pilot
to see how it works with our ultimate goal of trying to again have the entire every every
portion within our within our system be able to use any train that was my only question
are there any other questions this is an action item is there a motion a few seconds the motion
second Madam Secretary would you call for the vote? Vice Chair Chaffee? Aye. Second Vice
Chair Burksen? Yes. Director Tremblay? Yes. Chair McAllen? Yes. That motion carried.
Thank you very much. Next we have 60 Assembly Bill 1234 being attended by
members of the Board of Directors. This is a receiving file presented by our
our wonderful board secretary, Michelle Keene.
Michelle.
Hi.
Good morning, Chair McAllen and members of the committee.
This item is a receive and file
and is provided in compliance with the authority's policies
and assembly bill 1234 to report on meetings attended
by members of the board of directors.
Director O'Connor attended the California
Transit Association's executive committee meeting
and spring legislative conference
in Sacramento, California from May 15th to May 16th.
The cost to the agency was $508 and 3 cents
broken down as follows.
Lodging, $119 and 81 cents.
Ground transportation, $78 and 25 cents.
And flights, $309 and 97 cents.
Thank you, Chair.
That concludes my report
and I'm happy to answer any questions.
Any questions for the committee members?
And none, this is a receiving file
and we're all objection, that's what the committee will do.
Next, we have item 6F, which is a receiving file
on station connectivity enhancement plan
presented by David Huang, our planning manager, Juan.
David.
Thank you.
Good morning, Chairmans and the member committees.
I'll be presenting the station connectivity
enhancement plan.
So this project is part of the Metrolinx network integration studies, funded by Caltrans
2018 TIRCP, the transit and in the city's rail capital program grant.
The study we're looking at the issue that's preventing people from getting to our stations
and see how kind of strategy can we develop to help people's connected to our stations
and maybe encouraging them.
Next slide please.
So we have conducted surveys and market analysis in the area surrounding the stations.
The studies divide into three segments.
The first is a condition assessment.
We identified the connectivity need and there was complete all 63 metro link stations,
including the aero stations and their new stations.
Second, the station typologies.
We identified the characteristics of the stations.
Is the station an ordinary station, such as San Fernando's area with residential areas,
or is it like a destination station, such as Irvine or Tustin, where a lot of business
is located and people go there for work, and such an analysis will provide a framework
for improvement recommendations and part of projects development.
And the third, the connectivity toolkit, it addresses the need for the specific treatment.
So that the toolkit is designed to use by the station owners, and this is included as
a standalone detail appendix to the main report.
This is a variety of projects that can be implemented as a part of the toolkit framework
on safety improvement, to way findings, multi-models, integrations, micro-mobilities, and climate
applications.
So what the toolkit developed, and then we're looking at selecting the pilot project station
to demonstrate the functions of the toolkit,
and how can they help improve the station assets.
The goal is to develop a, oh, back up there, please.
Thank you.
So the goal is to develop a list of stations
to showcase their unique characteristics,
and how the toolkit can help improve the connectivities.
There are three elements in the selection process.
The first element is the geographic distributions.
So the list including one station in each county
to showcase each challenge that the county is facing,
and we will make sure that the pilot projects
are implemented throughout our network.
The following elements is the equities.
So all the selected stations are close
to the disadvantaged communities,
as these communities are typically more transit-reliance
and will experience a greater impact
from the transportation projects.
And third, station typologies.
The consultant assesses each station,
looking at the surrounding communities and the land use,
travel patterns, and around the stations,
barrier to the station access
and the model-model connectivities.
So we initially selected 14 stations
that can demonstrate the two key implementations.
Then we consult with our members agencies
and planning teams,
since they have an in-depth knowledge of a challenge
that each station city is facing.
Let's include a station based on the specific characteristic.
For example, we consider a station
with high concentrations of older or younger age group.
So these two age groups are typically more transit-reliance
and can benefit from toolkit implementations.
We also consider a station with high climate vulnerabilities,
such as extreme heat,
that can be used in a better shape while they're waiting
for our train.
Next slide, please.
So here are the examples of the toolkit.
We have a wayfinding signage to provide a clear direction for our riders, climate change
adaptations, a nice better shade for our riders doing this pretty bad weather times, including
heat and the bad rain and all the first and last miles improvement to give a better crosswalk
to our stations.
So here are the seven stations for the pilot projects.
Please keep in mind that these stations are for demonstration purpose on how our toolkit
can be implemented.
They are by no means more important or less important than any other stations.
So we have shared the draft of the report with the toolkit to our seven city stations
and to support their efforts and also get input
on what kind of project may be interesting.
Recommendation is based on our findings
and each individual series know the area better than we do
and definitely can modify or maybe pick a different toolkit
in their future capital projects.
So quick examples of the projects.
Downtown Burbank Station is a nice station
with a busy commercials and residential area
and a transfer type of stations.
We feel the Burbank Station is a strong candidate
for bicycle-focused pilot projects
because it only has some bicycle amenities incorporated.
And the city of Burbank,
in 2035, completes street plans,
identify additional improvement
that could be implemented for the future.
We propose adding bike repair stations,
bike lockers, bike storage,
e-bikes charging stations,
and a way finding sign on the bike lanes.
The bicycle improvement pilots will focus on
leverage the existing and the planned infrastructures
and maximizing Metrolinx's support and the benefit
from these related items.
Next slide please.
So we also included pilot project concepts,
the additional framework for how
to implementing these projects.
It's including descriptions of existing conditions,
barriers and need, conceptual site plans,
and the discretion that support the developments
of the concept for each station's.
A preliminary scope of work,
a high level cost and the schedule estimate,
and identifying key partner that could be involved
in the implementations.
Because each city have their own protocols
in terms of how to implementing their capital projects,
this framework is designed to example
what are the station owners or the pilot project station owners
can use to identify and address station connectivity needs.
Next slide, please.
So in conclusions, Metrolink will continue working
with our member agencies, station owners, local jurisdictions,
riders, and communities they serve to improve
the regional rail service and the usefulness
to the residents and the visitors throughout the regions.
The pilot project included in this report,
I intend to show how improvement can be against each station and definitely can use it further
to define in cooperation with the station owners for the implementations.
So this concludes my report.
I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Thank you, David.
Any questions of the committee members?
This is Eric Stevens.
Go ahead.
Mr. Chair?
Go ahead.
Thank you, David.
Good report.
Thank you for your work on this.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, David.
Good report, thank you for your work on this.
Thank you to the consultant for its work on this.
Just a quick question with respect to wayfinding
and signage, which is so important.
Has consideration been given to, in certain circumstances,
in appropriate circumstances, having wayfinding signs
in both Spanish, as well as English?
It will not be part of our detailed implementations.
Right now, we're just providing this to be that
we are lacking, we find this,
And definitely the motor language will be part
of the details implementation.
Right.
Okay, very well.
Thank you, thank you for your work on this.
Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you.
And just to comment on that,
maybe in some areas you might have other languages also,
depending on what city is involved.
That's a good point to make.
Thanks, Tony.
Any other comments or questions?
This is a receiving file and without objection that will be the committee's order.
Next we have a 6G June legislative update, which is a receiving file presented by Jeff
Dunn, our director of government and community relations.
Jeffrey, you're on.
Good morning, Chair McAllen.
Good to see you.
Members of the committee.
Good to see you.
with the local section as directed by the board in May, Metrolink initiated the public
outreach process, as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, for the continuation
of its low-income fair discount program funded by a state LC Topps grant. Metrolink will
conduct a noticed virtual public meeting on June 21st to solicit input from communities
regarding how the program has served qualifying residents so far, how it may be improved and
made more accessible and any other input pertinent to the program and to MetroLink service from
the community.
We will report the results of this meeting in addition to any findings and recommendations
that arise from the Title VI public outreach process for the board to consider at its July
meeting.
Also, I would like to inform that on May 24th, MetroLink continued its byline outreach previously
reported to you by holding two virtual roundtable meetings, one for elected offices and another
for community organizations, businesses, and residents of communities along the San Bernardino
Line in both San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties.
The meetings provided an excellent opportunity to share information about quiet zone requirements
and steps for implementation, ongoing and future capital projects along the line, and
maintenance of way issues and the sustainability efforts Metrolink has undertaken in the resulting
impact on quality of life in these communities.
The response from participants at both virtual meetings was overwhelmingly positive regarding
Metrolinx service, and there was broad agreement expressed on the need to expand the frequency
of service along the line, in addition to offering more service midday and in the evenings.
We received requests from both a local elected official and a congressional office to directly
engage in local events and programs to increase exposure and awareness of Metrolinx to communities,
and we are presently following up on that.
Working closely with our member agencies, we will hold byline meetings for the other
Metrolinx lines this year and into next year, and board members whose jurisdictions cover
these lines will be invited to participate in these meetings as they are scheduled.
Next slide, please.
At the state level, Metrolinx continues its work with the California Transit Association
transmitting to the legislature and the administration the consensus request of transit operators
statewide for assistance in the 2023-24 fiscal year budget.
These messages were conveyed by our CEO and staff during the State Advocacy Trip we took
last month in conjunction with the CTA Legislative Conference, as detailed in your report.
We were fortunate to meet with nine offices in the Metrolink Legislative Delegation whose
members serve on the relevant policy and fiscal committees for transportation, in addition
to committee staff of both legislative chambers.
The good news is that through the budget process, the State Legislative Budget Committees have
have approved support for maintenance of the $4 billion committed in the 2022-23 state
budget for the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program to be allocated $2 billion
in each of the 2023-24 and 24-25 fiscal years, rather than the Governor's proposed 50 percent
cut to only $1 billion per year, or $2 billion in total.
Additionally, the budget proposal passed by Legislative Committee has included flexibility
of up to 25 percent of these DIRCP funds for operational purposes, subject to various accountability
measures to establish operational need.
Metrolinx and transit agencies statewide working with and parallel to CTA will pursue this
and the other consensus priorities of the industry that have been previously reported
to you for inclusion into the 23-24 state budget.
Negotiations on this are ongoing between the governor and legislative leadership and a
gaggle of lobbyists to deliver and pass a budget by the June 15 constitutional deadline,
which is next Thursday.
We will provide to you a detailed summary of the pertinent provisions of the budget
to Metrolink in your July legislative update.
Transitioning to federal matters.
As noted in the report, the Railway Safety Act of 2023 passed the Senate Commerce Science
and Transportation Committee last month in response to the recent freight train derailment
in Ohio where hazardous materials were released impacting the surrounding community.
Among the bill's provisions are a requirement for the installation of hot box detectors
every 10 miles along the rail line in urbanized areas with a population of over 7,000.
The legislation requires the installation across freight and passenger rail networks
where they are shared, depending upon the operating agreements between the railroads,
Rail agencies could be required to pay for the installation and maintenance of the additional
detectors needed to meet this requirement.
MetroLink has preliminarily estimated the cost to comply, as described in your report, and
is working with the Commuter Rail Coalition to both assess the costs for passenger rail
operators nationwide, in addition to ensuring that funding is provided in the bill to offset
these costs.
The legislation passing from the Senate Commerce Committee provides authorization to pay the
costs associated with installing the additional detectors, subject to appropriation.
The bill is moved to the Senate floor.
We will be further subject to debate and amendment.
And the House, as noted in your report, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
Chair has stated his intent to wait for the full report of the National Transportation
Safety Board on the East Palestine Derailment before marking up the House bill.
The timing of that is unclear, but it is expected to be later this year, and we will continue
to monitor and appraise the board of the situation as it develops.
With respect to the debt limit bill, as you are all aware, the Administration and Congress
did find agreement on legislation to increase the debt ceiling, allowing the federal government
to continue to borrow to fund its operation until January 1, 2025.
Of note to transit operators, remaining COVID mass transit funding provided by CARES and
other COVID relief legislation was not rescinded by the bill, allowing transit agencies still
receiving cover relief to continue to utilize these funds.
Finally, our CEO, Mr. Kettle, will join our member agencies and regional transportation
partners on the annual Mobility 21 Advocacy Trip to Washington on June 19-21.
Metrolink has participated in the development of the messaging for this trip, which will
focus, as noted in your report, on support of IIJA-authorized funding levels in this
year's T-Hut Appropriations Bill, implementation of build and buy America provisions such that
It does not cause project delays and robust funding for goods movement projects and facilities.
An additional element of this year's trip, messaging, supported by MetroLink, is that
prioritizing award of discretionary grant funding to projects and programs in support
of the Southern California region hosting the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The trip is well timed, as with the passage of the debt ceiling bill, the Congress can
and turn its attention to the annual appropriations bills,
which will be considered throughout the summer.
We will provide update to this committee
and the board on the trip
and the status of the approps process
at your meeting next month.
Next slide please.
Thank you, this concludes my report
and I'm happy to take your questions, if any.
Thank you, Jeff.
Good report.
Any comments or questions from community members?
Mr. Chair?
Oh, yeah, certainly.
I do have a question for you, Jeff.
Thank you for the report.
I am not going to ask you
whether or not a quote unquote gaggle of lobbyists
is a transportation defined term.
What I am gonna ask is that it's so important
the conversations in the state level
relative to the flux use of funds,
how was that 25% arrived at?
And is that something that is a position of CTA
and the other commuter rail carriers like ourselves?
It was absolutely a position of CTA,
something that was sought from the beginning,
and it is something still yet to be determined exactly,
the metrics and accountability that will be required
to flex that funding.
But that is the proposal that was submitted
and passed through the budget committee.
Probably in trailer bill legislation.
Yeah, we're expected to be in a trailer bill.
Okay, thank you, Jeff, very much.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, sir.
Any other comments or questions?
Seeing or hearing none, this is a receipt and file
and without objection,
that's what the committee's order will be.
Thank you, Jeff, for as usual, a comprehensive presentation.
Next, we'll go on to our chief executive officer
who has all kinds of good news to tell us about.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, committee members,
I have two items to share with you today.
Excuse me.
Because we did receive news yesterday, late afternoon, that a grant that we had an application
for with the California Transportation Commission, a program called Solutions for Congested Corridors,
to cover about 50% of the cost, the additional 50% of the funding we needed for the purchase
of eight Tier 4 locomotives.
You'll recall, this board will recall that we had received money from the South Coast
Peer Quality Management District, Carl Moyer program and we had applied in cooperation
with SCAG for the solutions for congested corridors program to cover close to the remainder
of the 50% and unfortunately we received the news that our grant application was not successful.
That program really, it was a bit of a long shot program in the first place, but under
Our approach of leaving no stone unturned,
we submitted the application.
And so we will be debriefing
with the California Transportation Commission
after they've made their final awards
to find out where we were deficient.
That said, we do have several other applications
that we are pursuing for funding
for the remainder of our fleet
so that we can get to the full 55 locomotives being tier four.
That's a total of 15 more locomotives
that we need to rotate out.
We have a federal grant for the RAISE program,
as well as continuing conversations with AQMD
and additional Carl Moyer funds.
So stay tuned on that.
We'll continue to pursue and make every effort
to identify the funding so that we can,
again, turn over those 15 currently tier two locomotives.
The second part of the news I have to share
as the board received notice from me earlier this week
about the challenges we have once again in San Clemente
where we had to close down the tracks
due to continuing movement following the city's project
that regraded the slope.
It did actually create a much more serious
and sensitive situation that required the closure.
Freight trains are now running through the corridor
at slow speeds but there is no passenger service.
We are working, Metrolink is working very closely with OCTA.
I personally am having conversations
with OCTA's CEO, Darrell Johnson,
and we're in agreement that Metrolink will be taking the lead
on what will be effectively a design build project
under my emergency authority to accelerate a project
that we had actually contemplated a few weeks ago
prior to the city's regrading that we thought
was going to solve the problem and ultimately did not.
We will be taking the lead under that authority
and then I will be coming back before the board
at our June meeting with a ratification of that action.
The action will be, again, a design build contract.
We have identified two contractors
that indicate their ability and willingness
to pursue the work.
So we will be moving forward with that
over the course of the next week,
and again, ideally have a contract executed
before the end of next week, ideally.
I wanna be careful on the timing,
because it does take time.
Our program delivery team and our procurement team
are already working on the contract documents,
and the two contractors are supposed to be on site
early next week to see the location up close and personal.
The only other items that I,
That is obviously a big concern.
Big question that keeps coming up about timing.
We expect that the project itself
should take about four weeks to be completed
and the estimated price tag is in the $3 million range.
I do have assurances by way of letter from OCTA's CEO
that OCTA will reimburse us for our costs
to make sure that we can protect the tracks.
So that is where things are at this point.
you can expect to hear from me more as we have more details.
Those are the details we have, given how fast this is sort of happening right before our eyes.
So, Mr. Chair, that wraps up my CEO report, and I'm happy to take questions.
Any questions of the CEO?
Seeing none, we'll move on to our committee member comments.
Any committee members have comments?
Seeing or hearing none, here's comments.
I want a comment I have since Majorien is not here.
I decided to emulate him today.
So that he was here like in person.
With that, we'll move on to adjournment
and we are adjourned.
Thank you all for participating.
We'll see you soon in the first mile.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Take care.
Thank you.
Thanks, everybody.
