|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Adopt resolution. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | | The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has made minor modifications to the Restated Clipper Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). MTC formally adopted Amendment No. 2 to the MOU at its June 22, 2020, Clipper Executive Board Meeting. The City’s approval of Amendment No. 2 to the MOU is required for the City to continue participation in the Clipper Fare Program. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | The Clipper program is a supplemental regional fare media program which allows passengers to freely utilize the services provided by all bay area transportation providers. On October 6, 2015, the City adopted Resolution No. 2015-226 approving the execution of the Amended and Restated Clipper Memorandum of Understanding with the MTC. On October 3, 2017, the City adopted Resolution No. 2017-224 approving the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the MOU.
Amendment No. 2 to the MOU will update the regional cost-sharing agreements between MTC and the transit operators, as well as incorporate other updates, including: inclusion of references to contracts needed to support the Next-Generation Clipper program, additional references and clarifications about “Affiliate Participant” agreements for transit operators based outside the Bay Area or for entities that are not transit operators, and general clean-up and clarifications.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | | There is no impact to the General Fund as a result of this amendment. All operating and capital expenses for Fairfield and Suisun Transit are supported using specific State and Federal transportation revenue sources. |
