RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to enter into a ski bus pass agreement with Davis County, contingent upon execution of the contract by Davis County.
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2-811.1(7) outlines the Executive Director's duty to present proposed fare contracts to the Transit Commission.

These contracts are subject to approval by the Transit Commission.

Under this agreement, Davis County will pay for Snowbasin employees and season pass holders riding UTA route 677 who tap an electronic fare card (“EFC”) associated with Snowbasin.
