AGENDA TITLE:
Title
Use of State Funds for Transit Services
Body
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Arizona Lottery Funds (ALF) distributed to cities, towns, and counties may only be used for specific public transportation purposes.
Previous distributions received by the Town were used for bus shelter maintenance and Ollie the Trolley services. Last year the trolley service was modified to provide transportation during peak season to the trailheads in an effort to reduce parking congestion. Ridership was limited though, with a high resulting cost per trip.
During the budget process, Council requested that staff return to Council in a work session prior to Thanksgiving to evaluate options for effective use of these funds. The study session will provide an overview of the funding source, and a discussion of needs that may be addressed by these funds.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Use of Arizona Lottery Funds (ALF) State-Shared Revenues: $44,424.
