EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The CapMetro/CARTS partnership enables the provision of services to the larger region, including areas not currently in the CapMetro service area.
BUSINESS CASE: CapMetro receives transit services at a reasonable price under this agreement. CARTS already operates services in the rural areas surrounding CapMetro’s service area, making them a logical partner for providing services that extend beyond the CapMetro service area.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee on September 13, 2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CapMetro and CARTS partner to operate transit services on the borders of CapMetro’s service area and in communities located within the Austin urbanized area but outside of the CapMetro service area. The parties utilize a Master Regional Mobility Agreement (RMA) for the purposes of outlining terms and conditions which apply to all services. Addenda to the agreement outline each of the services provided and the fees paid for that service.
Supplement No. 4 to the Master Regional Mobility Agreement allows for the provision of transit service to the Manor area via Route 990 - Manor Express. CARTS provides the vehicle, fuel, operations and maintenance for this service and CapMetro reimburses CARTS for its costs.
The current Contracted Service Supplement No. 4, which allows for CARTS to operate Route 990 - Manor Express, expires on September 30, 2023. This resolution authorizes the fifth amendment to Contracted Service Supplement No. 4 to extend the term through fiscal year (FY) 2024. Service cost per vehicle hour will be $88.20. The total cost of the service for FY 2024 is estimated not to exceed $185,396.40 for 2,102 estimated vehicle hours.
