Public Agreement: UTA - Salt Lake City Microtransit Cooperative Agreement
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the UTA-Salt Lake City Microtransit Cooperative Agreement and authorize the Interim Executive Director to execute the agreement with Salt Lake City for the Rose Park, Poplar Grove & Glendale UTA On-Demand microtransit service.
BACKGROUND:
The Microtransit Cooperative Agreement is an agreement between UTA and Salt Lake City to fund and deploy the Rose Park, Poplar Grove, and Glendale UTA On-Demand microtransit service as part of the Salt Lake City Transit Master Plan and UTA 5-year Service Plan. Salt Lake City is partnering with UTA to provide the microtransit service in partnership with Via. Salt Lake City believes it will obtain significant advantages and benefits from UTA’s successful experience: with its UTA On-Demand microtransit service in Southern Salt Lake County, being tied into the public transit system, UTA brand recognition and awareness, marketing strategies, economies of scale, being eligible to receive UTA service improvements and iterations, and planned operations support activities
DISCUSSION:
The Microtransit Cooperative Agreement provides 12 months of Salt Lake City funding (Not-to-Exceed $1,900,000) for UTA to provide UTA On-Demand microtransit service with UTA’s vendor Via. Salt Lake City will reimburse UTA monthly 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 UTA On-Demand microtransit service is planned to launch in late 2021 and intends to support several planned bus changes as part of the August 2022 change day. A separate Service Order and scope of services as contained in Exhibit C of the Microtransit Cooperative Agreement will be between UTA and Via as part of the UTA On-Demand microtransit service deployment. This agreement will be presented to the UTA Board of Trustees during the same meeting as a separate agenda item.
