Measure M2 Community-Based Transit Circulators Program Project V Ridership Report and Proposed Program Revisions
Overview
Measure M2 includes a program to fund Community-Based Transit Circulators known as Project V. The goal of the program is to provide local transit services designed to complement regional transit services. Funding is awarded to local agencies through a competitive call for projects and awarded services are then implemented by awarded local agencies. Ridership reports for each of the Project V-funded services are presented to the Board of Directors twice annually. This item provides the ridership report covering the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019-20 (April - June 2020) and the first quarter of fiscal year 2020-2021 (July - September 2020). Due to the significant impacts that the coronavirus has had upon Project V services and recent audit recommendations, several revisions to the program are presented for review and approval.
Recommendation(s)
A. Receive and file the Project V Ridership Report as an information item.
B. Approve Project V Program revisions related to the impacts of the coronavirus and recent internal audit recommendations.
C. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate, execute, and amend as necessary all existing cooperative agreements for Project V services, in order to implement the recommendation above.
