Information
Request/Subject
Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement No. 08302022 with Central Arizona Governments to provide financial assistance in the amount of $33,279.78 to continue the regional public transportation authority project.
Background Information
Over the past several years the public transportation operating within Gila County has been delineated between the north and the south and does not function as a County-wide public transportation service to support the residents of all Gila County communities. Current funding for both public transportation services is also left to public entities and private non-profit entities who are willing to participate. In an effort to provide a regional public transportation solution that is efficient and cost-effective, Central Arizona Governments (CAG) has engaged a consulting firm AECOM, to develop the creation of a regional public transportation authority. Central Arizona Governments is requesting the County's financial support to continue with this effort.
Evaluation
A regional public transportation plan that is efficient, cost-effective, and provides for a funding mechanism that supports transportation for Gila County communities is the desired outcome of the project.
Conclusion
In order to complete the regional public transportation authority plan, it is in the best interest of residents within Gila County to fund the project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Intergovernmental Agreement No. 08302022 to fund the Regional Public Transportation Authority Project.
Suggested Motion
Information/Discussion/Action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement No. 08302022 with Central Arizona Governments to fund the Regional Public Transportation Authority Project in the amount of $33,279.78. (Mary Springer)
