DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the County Administrator to execute the Intercity Transit Funding and Cost Sharing Agreement (Solano Express) by and among the Solano Transportation Authority, the County of Solano, Solano County Transit (SolTrans), the City of Dixon, the City of Fairfield, the City of Suisun City, and the City of Vacaville.
SUMMARY:
Since 2013, regional transit services throughout Solano County have been funded using a cost-sharing agreement that establishes route responsibilities for SolTrans as the regional operator of Solano Express Bus, as well as funding responsibilities by the agencies whose residents receive these intercity services. The existing agreement has become aged and undergone a series of route and cost changes that require an updated agreement to service future years.
The attached Intercity Transit Funding and Cost Sharing Agreement (Attachment A) represents an effort by the partnering agencies to provide an updated agreement to address the changing needs of countywide regional transit services over FY2025/26 with an option to extend to future years if the service delivery, revenues, and cost-sharing remain stable. The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board authorize the County Administrator to execute the Solano Express Intercity Transit Funding and Cost Sharing Agreement to continue the regional partnership that is providing these transit services to important regional connections.
