R2023-04-03 - Resolution Adopting the Fare Rates and Types of Fare Media of the Agency
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution R2023-04-03 adopting revised fare rates and types of fare media of the agency.
BACKGROUND:
On March 23, 2022 the Board adopted Resolution R2022-03-06 which adopted and approved a fare structure and approved new or modified fare media for transit services. The board desires to rescind this resolution and set forth a new fare structure and establish the types of fare media for the authority through Resolution R2023-04-03. This will include the addition of the Summer Youth Pass for the price point of forty-nine dollars ($49).
The Summer Youth Pass, also known as the UTA Rider’s License (“RL”) pass gives youth ages 6-18 access to an unlimited premium transit pass, valid on all UTA services (except for Ski, Park City, and Paratransit services) from June 1 thru August 31. The RL pass is an electronic pass and can be purchased through UTA Customer Service, online at rideuta.com, and the mobile application.
UTA has made the RL pass available to youth each summer since 2014. Historically, the Fares team has presented this pass as a promotional fare for Board Approval.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that the board adopt Resolution R2023-04-03 to set a new fare structure and establish the types of fare media for the Authority, including the addition of the Summer Youth Pass.
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not adopt the Resolution and require annual Board approval of the Summer Youth Pass.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff does not anticipate a year over year impact to revenue due to this modification.
