BACKGROUND INFORMATION: San Joaquin RegionalTransit District (SJRTD) has requestedthe City execute a consignment agreement for the sale of SJRTD tickets. The proposed consignment agreement details the consignment sales procedure, advertising details, responsibility in the event of loss, and termination procedures. In addition to selling GrapeLine and Greyhound passes, the same MV Transportation staff currently sells SJRTD passes at the Lodi Transit Station. According to MV staff, the transit operator has sold SJRTD and SMART (prior regional transit agency) passes since the completion of the Lodi Transit Station in 2000. There is no record of a consignment agreement between SJRTD and the City for this service. Annually, the City receives a commission of approximately five percent of gross SJRTD ticket sales over $6,000, as stated in the attached agreement. Approximately 360 SJRTD passes are sold annually, and the City receives less than $100 in ticket sale commission from SJRTD. MV Transportation's contract with the City does not specify details for the SJRTD tickets sale procedure and liability. Therefore, the City and MV Transportation, Inc., will execute a no -value Contract Amendment detailing the ticket sale procedure and liability, underthe City Manager's authority. SJRTD ticket sales commission does not significantly affect the City's transit revenues; however, this ticket sale service, along with Greyhound and AMTRAK's automatic ticket machine in the main lobby, provides a convenient method for Lodi community transit users to purchase tickets and to travel on regional transit systems. If the City elects not to sell SJRTD passes, the closest location for Lodi citizens to purchase passes would be at the fare vending machine located at Hammer Lane and PacificAvenue in Stockton.
