6) wind-down accounting will take place over next +-e rlieers. i'
7) Allerton Charter Coach, lnc and Suburban Express, lnc are being

8) The above actions render state's recent motions moot, and seem
to render most of the consent decree moot. They obviate the need for
court to devote further resources to this matter.

9) The $100k payment required by consent decree wil! be made by

approximately May 15, months ahead of schedule.

10) Defendants continue to be agreeable to extending Consent

Decree by a few weeks to make state whole for initial delayed
compliance and for compliance which began during B0 day cure
period.

11) Green River Lines, of Peru, lL has indicated that they will be
offering bus service to and from University of lowa beginning this fall.

12) we have decided not to facilitate or aid in reptacement of

Champaign-Urbana service. lnstead, we prefer to sit on"the sidelines
and watch as competitor's fares rise, frequency falls, and passenger
injuries and fatalities increase. We understand that competitor had a
ten injury accident only a few weeks ago at onarga, tL on l-57. we
have never had a passenger injury or fatality in 35 years.

13) Defendants appreciate Judge wood's patient, compassionate,

empathetic, courteous, intelligent, and professional handling of this
matter, as wel! as other matters observed while waiting for status
calls.

14) Defendant Toeppen's reason for undertaking above actions: "l

stopped enjoying this business around 2001, and lthink it's beginning
to show."
