Revenue Contract: Transit Transportation Investment Program Funds (TTIF) Cooperative Agreement for the 5600 West Bus Route Project (Utah Department of Transportation)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Transit Transportation Program Funds (TTIF) Cooperative Agreement with UDOT for the 5600 West Bus Route Project.
BACKGROUND:
The 5600 West Bus Route is the transit alternative for UDOT’s Mountain View Corridor (MVC) project. UTA has an existing agreement with UDOT to implement the transit alternative (see Resolution R2022-07-03). It will provide new and enhanced bus service along the west side of Salt Lake County, connecting the 5600 West Old Bingham Highway TRAX Station, the International Center, Airport, and ultimately downtown Salt Lake City. The project includes new bus stops along 5600 West and four new park-and-rides. Vehicles for the project will consist of CNG buses awarded through the FY2023 Low or No Emission Grant Program - 5339(3).
DISCUSSION:
The project was awarded for $20,520,000 in TTIF funds. The match will come from the Low-No Grant, which will fund the buses for the corridor. This cooperative agreement for TTIF funds supports UTA and UDOT’s commitment to providing transit service along the 5600 West corridor, as outlined in R2022-07-03.
