RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Education Pass Agreement with Mountainland Technical College.

BACKGROUND:
This July, UTA’s Education Pass Agreement with Mountainland Technical College (MTECH) will expire (Fare Agreement 22-F0278 - approved by the Board of Trustees on July 13, 2022). MTECH and UTA wish to renew a contract to provide transit passes to college students, faculty, and staff. MTECH anticipates enrollment will modestly increase over the next few years.

DISCUSSION:
In the spirit of partnership, staff propose that MTECH and UTA sign a two-year Education Pass Agreement. This agreement will give all students, faculty, and staff (6,000 authorized users) access to premium transit. The value of this contract, $67,000, was determined using a standard formula, which considers the number of authorized users, estimated usage, and the types of service expected to be utilized.
