AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Special Fares for Salvation Army Use of Transit
Services in Accordance with Transit Fare Policyfor Fiscal Year 2008109
MEETING DATE: July 2,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution approving special fares for the Salvation Army's
use of transit services in accordancewith the Transit Fare Policyfor
Fiscal Year 2008109.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the October 20, 2004 City Council meeting, transit fare increases
for Fixed Route were adopted effective January 1, 2005. In addition
to the fare increase, the City Council allowed for contract pricing to
non-profit organizations which administer transit grant programs, at
a rate reduction not to exceed 50%. All requestsfor reduced fares are to be reviewed by the City Council
on a case-by-case basis.
Staff has been approached by the staff at the Salvation Army to inquire if reduced rates may be available.
The program coordinators contacted City staff due to the limited funding available to transport their
program participants to different destinations in town. It is anticipated that the reduction would only apply
to Fixed Route and would not include Dial -A -Ride services. The Salvation Army would purchase reduced
fare tickets and distribute them to their program participantsto use.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the Salvation Army to utilize the transit services at
the reduced rate of $.50 for Fixed Route that is a 50% reduction of the regularfare.
FISCAL IMPACT: The reduced fares will limit the amount of revenue the transit system
receives for this service. The amount is anticipated to be less than $500
and can be accommodated within the Transit fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required
