RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve funding for Pace Bus Route 554 in the amount of$20,218. BACKGROUND Route 554 began operating in 1996 to provide a transit li between Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Streamwood and Schaumburg. The route was part of Pace'• Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality Program and was funded through a federal grant. When fed:ral funding was no longer available for this service, the Northwest Suburban Mass Transit Distr ct (NWSMTD) agreed to subsidize the route from 2002 through 2004. In 2005, the NWSMT D ceased to function and the four (4) participating communities equally funded the entire local sh. e cost of this service. To continue the operation of Route 554 for 2008, the jurisi ictions again will need to fund the entire local share cost of this service. The four jurisdiction. collectively will pay $80,871 with each jurisdiction contributing $20,218, a 10.6% increase fro 2007 ($18,283). Ridership for this route has averaged 126 riders per day (J. uary through October 2007), which is sixteen percent (16%) higher than 2006 ridership count. (109 riders per day). Since 2002, ridership has increased fifty percent(50%), from an average of 84 riders per day to 126 riders per day. Pace had intended to establish a new route between Evanstin and Elgin, traveling mainly along Golf Road. The Evanston to Schaumburg segment be Lan operating in 2005. The route • City Support for Route 554 January 18, 2008 Page 2 expansion to Elgin was expected to occur sometime between 2108 and 2010, thereby eliminating the need for Route 554 and local funding. However, due to the uncertainty of future public transportation funding, Pace has postponed further discussion• concerning the expansion of this route. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CON ACTED Villages of Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, and Streamwood, . d Pace Suburban Bus Service. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total 2008 cost for Route 554 is $219,810. Pace has agr:ed to fund 50% ($109,905) of this cost. Fares from riders are estimated at $29,034 with the res lting local share totaling $80,871. The local share would be divided equally among the participating jurisdictions, each paying $20,218. The Riverboat Fund, account number 275-0000-7:1.80-43, project number 039660, has sufficient funds budgeted($25,000) and available ($25,001) for this expenditure. LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES 1. The City Council may approve the City's $20,218 contribution towards the local share cost. 2. The City Council may not approve the financial contr bution towards the local share cost, thereby electing not to participate in the continuation of Route 554. Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
