In addition, following the May 24 Finance Committee meeting, staff was informed that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) may extend the means-based fare pilot program (Clipper START) through June 2023. Accordingly, the Committee also should invite public comment on a potential extension of the Clipper START discount. Following feedback from the public and the Committee, staff will make a recommendation for the Board’s consideration at its June 3, 2021 meeting. SIGNIFICANCE The public hearing will allow the Board to receive input on proposed fare changes. Caltrain has experienced a significant decline in ridership as a result of COVID-19 and the related Shelter-in-Place orders. Extending the Monthly Pass product discount of 20% and Clipper START, and postponing previously-approved fare increases, until the after Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 will help incentivize ridership to return and potentially increase overall fare revenue as a result. The proposal to be considered in the public hearing is to extend the temporary Monthly Pass Products discount of 20% through June 2023. Although a public hearing was already held for implementation of the following fare changes, and they were approved at the September 2019 Board meeting, the changes were postponed by the Executive Director under his delegated authority. However, Board approval will be required to continue to postpone the changes into the future. Accordingly, the Board may also receive comments on postponing the implementation of the following fare changes: A. Go Pass – Postpone 5% increases in the price of the Go Pass as follows: • Postpone from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2023: Increase of Go Pass price from $342 to $359, raising the annual minimum cost to employers from $28,728 to a new Page 1 of 3 minimum of $30,156 • Postpone from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025: Additional increase of 5% B.
