Fare Agreement: Ski Bus Agreement (Sundance Ski Resort)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to enter into a Ski Bus Agreement with Sundance Ski Resort for the 2022-2023 season.
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority (“UTA”) and Sundance Ski Resort (“Resort”) have a longstanding relationship to promote the sustainability and growth of the Ski Bus Service in the Provo Canyon. For the past 20 plus years, Sundance Ski Resort and UTA have contracted together to provide transit service to employees and ski pass holders.
In the most recent ski season, 2021-22, Sundance Ski Resort entered into a Ski Bus Agreement with UTA. UTA invoiced the Resort based on the monthly ridership counts using UTA’s Electronic Fare Collection (“EFC”) ridership counting system. The agreement allowed the Resort’s authorized users to ride Ski Bus Service in Provo Canyon. The Resort paid $4.00 per boarding which was a 20 percent discount on the public ski fare of $5.00.
For the 2022-2023 Ski Season, UTA and Sundance Ski Resort will enter into a ski bus agreement wherein UTA will invoice the resort based on a daily rate with a cap. Billing per user will be based on $8.00 per day and resorts will pay no more than $28 per week per user. An authorized user’s season pass or employee ID will also act as the holder’s transit pass for the ski season.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that UTA enter into a Ski Bus Agreement with Sundance Ski Resort for 2022-2023.
