AGENDA REPORT BY:
M
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: John Brand, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: May 5, 2000 (CC meeting of May 17, 2000)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 2000- , Establishing the Fares
for the City Transit Services, and Rescinding Resolution
99 -1567.
The City Council is being asked to approve the implementation of a
$20 (twenty dollar) Summer Bus Pass for Moorpark youth. If
approved, this resolution would authorize the City Manager to
approve special promotional fare offers, discounts or passes for
the purpose of promoting public transit. The other transit fares in
the resolution are unchanged.
The City bus service began in 1989. The City of Moorpark Bus
service is funded with TDA (Transportation Development Act) funds
for operating costs and FTA funds for 800 of capital costs.
Offering special promotions to encourage ridership is a common and
appropriate activity. This proposed resolution establishes that a
special fare offering such as the Summer Bus Pass for Youth may be
implemented administratively from time to time. Currently Moorpark
City Transit averages 85 riders per day.
The Summer Bus Pass is a special rate that may encourage youth in
Moorpark to gain access to summer programs and activities.
Attractive destinations may include the Arroyo Vista Recreation
Center, the Boys and Girls Club, Moorpark College, the Movie
Theater, and the library. The Moorpark bus connects to the regional
VISTA bus system connecting Moorpark to the beach and other
destinations in Ventura County.
