RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve funding for P ce Bus Route 554 in the amount of re,,, $18,283. BACKGROUND Route 554 began operating in 1996 to provide a transit link betweei Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Streamwood and Schaumburg. The route was part of Pace's Congestion MOigation/Air Quality Program and was funded through a federal grant. When federal funding was no longer available for this service, the Northwest Suburban Mass Transit District (NWSMTD) agreed to Subsidize the route from 2002 through 2004. In 2005, the NWSMTD ceased to function and the four (4) participating communities equally funded the entire local share cost of this service. To continue the operation of Route 554 for 2007, the jurisdictions again will need to fund the entire local share cost of this service. The four jurisdictions collectively wiP pay $73,132 with each jurisdiction contributing $18,283. Ridership for this route has averaged 106 riders per day (January through August 2006), which is consistent with 2005 ridership counts (also 106 riders per day). P ce is working to establish a new route between Evanston and Elgin, traveling mainly along Golf Road. The Evanston to Schaumburg segment began operating in 2005. It is anticipated that the route expansion to Elgin will occur sometime between 2008 and 2010,thereby eliminating the need for Route 554 and local funding.

The total 2007 cost for Route 554 is $197,264. Pace has agreed to fund 50% ($96,632) of this cost. Fares from riders are estimated at $25,500 with the resulting local shtotaling $73,132. The local share would be divided equally among the participating jurisdictions, eacl i paying $18,283.
