Compatability

There is a glitch in the Board of Directors Meeting Agendas that get posted on the RTA web site. On Linux and other UNIX-like systems (and I've heard rumors about Macs as well), the links to the various reports in the agenda do not work. However, there is a technical workaround.

Seemingly all of RTA's BoD agendas and reports, from as long ago as 2005 (which includes a single BRT committee meeting, /tear), are available for browsing and downloading from the folder that contains them, http://www.riversidetransit.com/downloads/boardDocs/board/. Find the date you need and you'll find both the agenda itself, and all attached reports, available in convenient PDF format. It's not a perfect solution, of course, but this will allow users of non-Windows operating systems a way of accessing what ought to be public data.
