|
| | | | | | | | Purpose:
Discussion and possible action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement Amendment #151-75-2026 with the Regional Public Transportation Authority, also known as Valley Metro, for transit services. |
| | | | | | | | Summary:
The City of Peoria Transit Division, in partnership with Valley Metro, provides Express, Fixed Route, Paratransit / Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Dial-A-Ride transit services. Continuing to partner with Valley Metro in providing these services require the city to enter a contract/IGA. If approved, this request will amend the current Valley Metro IGA to show the amount of regional funds to be used for transit service in Peoria. It outlines reimbursement of allowable costs by RPTA to Peoria for transporting ADA certified riders, as well as delineating the amount that Peoria will pay to RPTA to provide Paratransit services.
This amendment modifies Schedule “A”, Schedule “B”, Schedule “C” and Schedule “E” to the agreement last entered on July 1, 2024. These schedules are updated annually.
