Reporting

Edited and summarized by the Columbia Gorge - OR Documenters Team

Note-taking by Douglas Burkhardt

CAT salaries getting revamped and raised. Supply chain issues mean three new busses will be gas, not electric. A new dispatch system raises hopes that dial-a-ride will be more like ride-share and less like a taxi service. Noted incident: a passenger got stuck in a bus bathroom.
