FISCAL IMPACT:
The UTA - Salt Lake City Microtransit Cooperative Agreement provides 12 months of Salt Lake City funding (Not-to-Exceed $1,900,000) for UTA to provide the Rose Park, Poplar Grove & Glendale UTA On-Demand Microtransit Service with UTA’s vendor Via. Salt Lake City will reimburse UTA on a monthly basis for actual expenses incurred including a 5% operations support fee for all Via provided service and fueling expenses. Marketing and promotions will be a direct pass through on UTA expenses incurred. UTA will retain all fares collected during the 12 months of service.
The 12 month Not-to-Exceed value for Service Order No. 1 is $1,740,000. If the contract is extended beyond 12 months an addendum will be required. The difference of $160,000 will be used for marketing and promotions, fuel expenses, the UTA operations support fee, and includes a Salt Lake City contingency.
