Complimentary Fare: Unhoused and Unsheltered Rider Outreach Program and Complimentary Pass Agreement (Downtown Alliance and Salt Lake City)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve agreement with and provision of complimentary transit passes to Downtown Alliance and Salt Lake City for use by Street Ambassadors in the unsheltered rider outreach program
BACKGROUND:
UTA is partnering with Salt Lake City & the Downtown Alliance to connect unsheltered and unhoused riders with outreach and resource referrals, including social service resources and justice resources.
DISCUSSION:
As part of a collaborative effort with UTA & Salt Lake City, the Downtown Alliance (DTA) will mobilize their team of Street Ambassadors to support on-system outreach and referrals to riders who need support, including specifically unsheltered and unhoused individuals. UTA can support the DTA in this effort by supporting the Street Ambassador team members with monthly passes to ride TRAX and bus locally and refer riders to resources.
ALTERNATIVES:
Approve a different level of pass or none.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The value of the passes is $20,400 and was calculated using the public monthly pass price ($85) multiplied by 240 (20 passes X 12 Months).
