For the next set of stories to be written for Charlottesville Community Engagement, the audio versions of the previous ones must be distributed. That’s the purpose of this particular edition which collects four stories from the past week with an extra one thrown in from the archive. The podcast version is also slightly different from the version that aired on WTJU at 6 a.m. on June 6, 2026.

Please take a listen if you’d like a different way to experience these stories for my quest for financing the stage show seems to have stalled.

In this edition:

• Buckingham commuter bus operated by Jaunt tops initial prioritization list (read the story)
• Charlottesville Area Transit preparing for electric buses (read the story)
• The Albemarle Planning Commission endorses an effort to make it easier to build rooftop solar on entrance corridors (read the story)
• Albemarle Planning Commission recommends denial of rezoning for 18-unit development (read the story on C-Ville Weekly)
• One June 9, the Albemarle Planning Commission will learn about five work products to implement the Comprehensive plan. The Board of Supervisors had their review in May and this is an archive story.
