AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval

RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the executive director to enter an Education Pass Agreement with Ensign College for three years with a projected value of $450,550.

BACKGROUND:
Ensign College (Ensign) and Utah Transit Authority (UTA) have historically partnered to provide those that work or attend classes at the institution with an unlimited premium transit pass. In July 2023, the Board of the Authority authorized a five-month extension to Ensign College’s (College) Ed Pass Agreement. This extension was made in partnership with the College to line up Ensign’s fiscal calendar with the term of the contract, as well to allow both parties to negotiate a longer-term agreement. The current agreement will expire on December 31, 2023 and both Ensign and UTA desire to continue our partnership through a new Ed Pass Agreement.

DISCUSSION:
UTA will enter a three (3) year Education Pass Agreement with Ensign College in the amount of $450,550:
