TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Olufemi Folarin, City Manager
Janice Ward, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: City Support for Pace Route 554
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of City Council with information
to approve the City's 2007 local share contribution of$18,283 for Pace Bus Route 554.
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.
