Weeks, Assistant City Manager Department: CMO Report Resolution: Ordinance: Exhibit: Ridership Data HCTA Bus Schedules (2 Exhibits) Interlocal Agreement (includes Exhibits) Appropriation Source of Funds: Fund 038 - EDC Account Number: 038.6030.565.5007 Amount Budgeted: %74,000 Amount Requested: $69,000 Budgeted Item: YES NO SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION For the past eight years, the City of La Porte has participated with Harris County Transit Authority (HCTA) to provide regional bus service. In 2013, the City provided closed door service for La Porte residents only to locations within the City, as well as selected sites outside the City such as Social Security Office, Strawberry Clinic, a connector shuttle to Baytown, and paratransit services. Paratransit services are those services required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for residents with disabilities who are unable to use fixed route transportation systems and are deemed eligible for the service (aka "door to door" services). The County administers a federal grant for the cost of providing the service and La Porte provides a match to complete the funding. La Porte's share of bus service for the upcoming 12-month service year, which begins upon approval and execution of the "Agreement," is $69,000, which is a $5,000 decrease from last year. This is the only change in the current agreement from the previous agreement with HCTA. According to the County, last year's amount of $74,000 was based on projected ADA paratransit ridership, but that ridership didn't materialize; therefore, the amount has been decreased by $5,000 this year due to the reduced ADA paratransit ridership. Staff has met with the County about the reduced ADA paratransit ridership and has asked the County to be more aggressive in promoting the ADA paratransit services in La Porte this year. If there is an increase in ADA paratransit ridership the cost could go up next year with more ADA client participation. For several years the cost was split between the General Fund and EDC. The past two years the cost has been budgeted 100% in EDC for $74,000. City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and staff recommends approving the Bus Service Agreement with Harris County Transit Authority for local bus service for 12-month period beginning March 25, 2019. Action Required by Council: Approval or other action regarding an interlocal agreement for bus services between Harris County and the City of La Porte for local bus transit services for the period of twelve (12) months with the approval of Harris County.
