Fare Agreement: Pass Purchase and Administration (Salt Lake City Corporation)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to enter a three-year Pass Purchase and Administration Agreement with Salt Lake City Corporation.
BACKGROUND:
UTA and Salt Lake City Corporation (SLC Corp.) are longstanding partners dedicated to mitigating traffic and air pollution (the prior agreement, 25-F28285, was approved by the Board of Trustees on July 9, 2025). In the spirit of that partnership, the two parties collaborate to provide SLC Corp. employees with a transit pass benefit through a Pass Purchase and Administration Agreement. Employees can opt in or out to receive a UTA transit pass and SLC Corp. pays for each trip taken by their authorized users on UTA transit services. SLC Corp. receives a discount of five percent (5%) that is applied to their monthly invoice. The program and discount are in line with similar entities of the same type and population.
DISCUSSION:
Both UTA and SLC Corp. wish to enter into a new contract for three (3) years. The new contract term will begin July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029. All other terms of the contract, including the five percent (5%) discount will remain the same as previous agreements. Revenue for this contract is estimated because SLC Corp. is billed monthly based on actual trips during the contract period. Revenue estimates are made using ridership projections based on historical trends.
