- Board Policy 3.2 - Service Planning
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution R2024-09-04 to adopt revised Board Policy 3.2 Service Planning as presented
BACKGROUND:
The Special Districts Act section 17B-1-301 and the Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2a-8 outlines the duties and powers of a large public transit district’s Board of Trustees. One of those duties includes developing and approving board policies, ordinances, and bylaws after consultation with the Local Advisory Council.
The UTA Board of Trustees last updated Board Policy 3.2 in December 2022. This policy has been updated to reflect changes in general practice.
DISCUSSION:
The agency is recommending that the updated Board Policy 3.2 Service Planning be approved as presented.
The proposed revision incorporates updates in practice including requirements for Service Design Standards, the Long-Range Transit Plan, Board consultation points during the process, enhanced community engagement, criteria for UTA policy, and clarifies that UTA does not provide Charter Service.
As required by statute, the proposed policy revisions were presented to the Local Advisory Council on August 28, 2024 for their consultation and feedback and no additional comments were provided. We are now presenting the proposed policy revisions to the Board of Trustees for final review and approval.
Note - the marked-up version of the proposed Board policy revisions was published in the Local Advisory Council’s meeting packet for August 28, 2024 and can be accessed at <www.rideuta.legistar.com>.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may modify the proposed policy revisions prior to adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
