EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The CapMetro/CARTS partnership enables the provision of services that serve the larger region, including areas not currently in the CapiMetro service area or on the border of 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 will be presented to the full board on September 23, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CapMetro and CARTS partner to operate transit services within the region. The parties utilize a master interlocal agreement (ILA) 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. This addendum (Amendment 7 to Supplement No. 8) allows for the provision of transportation in the Manor Area. This service will be operated at the costs of $89.00 per vehicle hour, consistent with other services operated under the CapMetro/CARTS partnership. Approximately 18,900 hours are projected for FY25. This project is partially funded by Travis County. The County will fund 25 percent of the project. The Travis County portion may increase during the fiscal year and will be agreed upon by all parties. A separate interlocal agreement exists between CapMetro and Travis County to provide the funding for this service.
