  • City of Elk Grove Public Transit Fares
    AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.2 CITY OF ELK GROVE CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT AGENDA TITLE: Consider 1) approving a proposal by MV Transportation for a new reverse commute service rate of $25/hour; and 2) authorizing staff to notice new fare rates and services for reverse commuting MEETING DATE: January 25, 2012 PREPARED BY DEPARTMENT HEAD: Richard Shepard, Public Works Director / City Engineer RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends the City Council consider: 1) Approving a proposal by MV Transportation for a new reverse commute service rate of $25/hour; and 2) Authorizing staff to notice new fare rates and services for reverse commuting. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 14, 2011, City Council heard an item discussing costs of implementing reverse commute services between Elk Grove and Downtown Sacramento in order to support the relocation of the California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) Department. Consistent with existing contract requirements, it was estimated that the net cost of this service would be approximately $94,000 per year. This net cost was estimated assuming the following: 1 Elk Grove City Council January 25, 2012 Page 2 of 6 Estimated Cost of New Reverse Commute Service New service costs at the $190,000 contracted rate of $53.09/hour Less new revenue based on 100 new monthly permits at a reduced <$96,000> cost of $80/month Estimated net annual cost $94,000 Since a majority of the reverse commute service would come from using buses that are “dead-heading” (returning empty), Council requested that staff negotiate with MV Transportation, Inc. (MV) to reduce the contracted rate to a level that would make the service revenue neutral to the City.

    PAGES 4-5: A SACRAMENTO REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGY Volume 29 Number 1 May 2019 – August 2019 High-Speed Rail: Big Changes Afoot? By David Schonbrunn TRAC Vice President, Policy The Governor’s startlingly candid admission that “Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacra- mento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to LA” has triggered what could become a major reassessment of the State’s commitment to this project. Governor Newsom’s candor was a total break from eight years of uncompromising support by Jerry Brown for a project that still has no realistic long-term funding. The release of the California High- Speed Rail Authority’s (CHSRA) 2019 Project Update Report. and the Trump Administration’s cancellation of a $929 million grant to the project, when added to the Governor’s statement, combine to create a highly dynamic situation.
