EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: This is a revenue-generating agreement which provides for a cost-sharing arrangement to provide public transportation services. This long-standing partnership with the University of Texas at Austin assists with campus mobility and parking concerns while increasing public transit ridership.
BUSINESS CASE: UT Shuttle service fulfills the transit demand generated by a major activity center and employer in our service area. The cost recovery for this agreement exceeds what is collected via traditional fare collection on other fixed route services.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee on June 12, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CapMetro has partnered with the University of Texas at Austin since 1989 to provide shuttle bus services for the use and benefit of the University and the Austin community. The current agreement became effective on September 1, 2021 and continues through August 31, 2024. During the months of January and February, CapMetro experienced operational issues that impacted its ability to provide adequate service levels to The University of Texas at Austin. Recognizing the importance of this revenue-generating relationship, the staff is requesting that Cap Metro rebate the University of Texas at Austin a reasonable portion of those lost service hours.
