Service or Fare Approval

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Authorize the Executive Director to execute the Pass Purchase and Administration Agreement with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (“Church”) and UTA are longstanding partners dedicated to reducing traffic congestion and related emissions. One way that the Church and UTA partner together to achieve these goals is through an employer transit pass program.

The Church provides a transit pass to all full time, part time, and volunteer employees working at their various locations along the UTA Service Corridor. The Church pays for each trip taken by an authorized user on the UTA system and receives a 17.5 percent discount. The current agreement will expire at the end of this year and both parties desire to renew the agreement.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

The Church and UTA will enter a two-year Pass Purchase and Administration agreement. The Church will continue to pay for each trip taken by authorized users on the UTA system and receive a 17.5 percent discount. This discount is in line with other similarly sized organizations participating in a pay-per-use program.
