Service or Fare Approval

RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Education Pass Agreement with the Mountainland Technical College                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

In 2021, the Board of the Authority requested a review of all higher education transit pass agreements. The Fares team performed an in-depth review of all higher education pass contracts including the review of terms and conditions, ridership, and pass utilization as well as revenue received compared to actual use (“pay per trip value”). The Fares team used the review findings to formulate a plan and set goals to align all future Education Pass Contracts. 

This July, UTA’s Education Pass Agreement with the Mountainland Technical College (“MTECH”) will expire. MTECH and UTA wish to renew a contract to provide transit passes to the college’s students, faculty, and staff. The previous Education Pass Agreement was put into place in 2018 and was a three-year agreement that provided five-thousand and five hundred (5,500) authorized users with a premium transit pass. This agreement was extended for one additional school year (2021-22) in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

In the spirit of partnership, staff proposes that MTECH and UTA sign a three-year Ed Pass Agreement. This agreement will give all students, faculty, and staff (5,500 total users) access to premium transit. The value of this contract is $86,500 and is based on estimated usage.
