Title

Regional Transit System (RTS) Summer 2017 Transit Service Changes (B)

This is a request for the City Commission to approve the proposed RTS Summer 2017 Service Changes.

Explanation

RTS makes transit service changes three times a year. These changes coincide with the semester schedules for the University of Florida (UF) and Santa Fe College (SF). The following proposed service changes reflect the routine decrease in service levels that accompany the summer period and have been approved by both UF and SF respective to the routes they fund. RTS presented these changes for feedback at an advertised public meeting on March 22, 2017 that was jointly held at the same time as the RTS Citizens Advisory Board (CAB). See back-up for the presentation that was presented.

Fiscal Note

In fiscal year 2016-17, the City of Gainesville will receive approximately $13 million from UF and $1 million from SF for RTS services.

Recommendation

The City Commission approve the proposed summer 2017 service changes effective May 1, 2017.
