Fare Agreement: Education Pass (Ensign College)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve contract and authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Education Pass Agreement with Ensign College
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, the Board of the Authority requested a review of all higher education transit pass agreements. The Fares team performed an in-depth review of all higher education pass contracts including the review of terms and conditions, ridership, and pass utilization, as well as revenue received compared to actual use (“pay per trip value.”) The Fares team used the review findings to formulate a plan and set goals to align the negotiations of all future Ed Pass Contracts.
On July 31 2022, UTA’s Education Pass Agreement with Ensign College will expire. Both Ensign College and UTA wish to renew a contract to provide transit passes to the college’s students, faculty, and staff. The previous Education Pass Agreement was put into place in 2018 and was a three-year agreement that provided 3,300 authorized users with a premium transit pass. This agreement was extended one additional school year (2021-22) in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DISCUSSION:
In the spirit of partnership, Ensign College and UTA will sign a one-year Education Pass Agreement. This agreement will give students, faculty, and staff access to a premium transit pass through their respective ID card. The value of this contract is $75,000 and total authorized users is 3,300.
UTA and Ensign College agree to monitor ridership in the upcoming school year (2022-23) to establish a long-term contractual agreement for subsequent years.
