UTA Policy Regarding Requests for Additional Service
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
None, discussion only
BACKGROUND:
UTA is examining the current policy regarding requests for additional service. Additional service currently includes sponsored service, event service, and charter service.
DISCUSSION:
UTA provides a variety of additional service above and beyond the baseline service. These additional services include sponsored service agreements, such as the interlocal agreements with Salt Lake City, event surge service, such as football games and concerts, and finally, charter service, such as the Salt Lake City Marathon and Peach Days. UTA is looking at updating the current policy to be in conformance with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) rules as well as provide a methodology to evaluate whether additional service is feasible and equitable across the entire system.
The proposed policy defines additional services, aligns with FTA rules, and outlines the approval process for additional service requests.
ALTERNATIVES:
As a discussion item, we are seeking the Board’s input prior to presenting an updated UTA Policy for the Board’s approval.
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
