Let’s do some trash talk! Too bad that there is so much trash around, from cigarette butts to unmentionable icky (eww) items. ADAPT takes pride to be able to help…if we can do it–YOU can too!! Get your can in gear and clean up.

We have a contract with MediFit, who runs our wellness program, for $236,000 per year. The cost to Capital Metro is offset by contributions from our service providers ($150,000 per year) and by the fees that employees pay to belong to the gym ($10,000). The wellness program has saved millions in healthcare costs and absenteeism, and those are funds that are freed up to put back into our transit service. There’s another benefit, too. By taking care of our employees, we are improving morale and so they can focus on providing great service to you.

Also, fyi, the childcare center is not free to employees.

Lisa, Why don’t you move to Canada? They have socialized medicine over there. I wonder why so many Canadians immigrate to the United States that need medical treatment? Because we have the finest healthcare system in the world, and that is about to change. I suggest the book Obamacare survival guide http://www.newsmax.com/Beating-Obamacare-Handbook-Obama-Healthcare-Law a very interesting read indeed. And while your at it, read the whole 900 pages of regulations under that Patient Affordable Care Act. Ask your fellow Canadian if they are happy with the Health Care system in Canada.

And aren’t you going to answer the question of “How much money is this 24 hour fitness center going to cost the taxpayers?” Because I commented on here with a couple of questions that need answers, not a childish response such as “Move to Canada, and get over it.”

Will somebody please answer my questions.

Comment on Test out the new 3-bike racks on select Capital Metro buses by Erica

Erica — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:28:23 +0000

hi, Jason. We’ve evaluated the 3-bike racks, and generally speaking, did not find any major operational or safety issues with their use. The next step is to develop a plan to retrofit our buses with the 3-bike racks over time. It may take a while because at this time the new racks and the labor to install them, etc., is not in our budget. We are developing our budget now for FY2014, which begins October 1, so this issue could get addressed over the coming year.
