RE: Approval of Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for
Reimbursement to the City of a Portion of Transit Convenience/Fare
Reimbursements
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2009
INTRODUCTION & DISCUSSION:
The Metropolitan Council has recently completed preparation of a new fare reimbursement
agreement. (See attached copy) This agreement, and the exhibits (also accompanying this
report), set the rate of reimbursement to the City for various fares that are paid by pre-paid
media (Go cards, Metro Passes, tokens, etc.) The exhibits set forth the effective rates to
September 2008 and from October 2008 forward. The rates of reimbursement remain
virtually the same for those periods. Staff has been awaiting this agreement so that we can
submit prepaid media to the Metropolitan Council for reimbursements.

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
AND THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE
FOR TRANSIT CONVENIENCEIPREP AID FARE REIMBURSEMENTS
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Metropolitan Council, a
public corporation and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, ("Council"), and the City
of Shakopee ("Provider").
WHEREAS:
1. The Metropolitan Council is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, section 473.408, to establish
and administer fare structure in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, referred to as the
"region" in this agreement.
2. The regional fare structure provides regional fare levels and regional fare tools for the use of
all regional transit providers to accept as payment for rides.
3. The Provider is a regional transit provider that provides transit service subject to the regional
fare structure.
4. The Council's Metro Transit division administers all convenience/prepaid fare programs and
is the recipient of all convenience/prepaid fare revenue.
5. Convenience/prepaid fare revenue is distributed on a per ride reimbursement basis to eligible
providers in an equitable manner as determined by the Council.
6. The purpose of this agreement is to define the terms and conditions under which the Council,
through its Metro Transit division, will distribute convenience/prepaid fare revenues to the
Provider, including fares that are eligible for reimbursement, the reimbursement value per
ride of various convenience/prepaid fares, data collection requirements, and required
methods for the reimbursement process.
NOW, THEREFORE, the above-named parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definition of a Convenience/Prepaid Fare. A Convenience/Prepaid Fare is defined as a
fare prepaid by a customer prior to a transit ride. A Convenience/Prepaid Fare allows a customer
to board a regional transit vehicle by using the pre-paid fare media, in whole or in part, instead of
cash for payment of the transit fare.
2. Types of ConveniencelPrepaid Fares; Reimbursement Value.
a. At the time this agreement is entered into, the region uses the following types of
Convenience/Prepaid Fares:
. tokens,
. stored value cards,
1
. stored ride cards,
. 31-day passes,
. MetroPasses,
. V-Passes,
. College Passes, and
. two types of mobility passes.
b. The reimbursement value per ride of Convenience/Prepaid Fare rides in effect from the
effective date of this agreement through September 30, 2008 is set forth in Exhibit A to
this agreement. The current reimbursement value per ride of Convenience/Prepaid Fare
rides in effect from October I, 2008 through the termination date of this agreement is set
forth in Exhibit B to this agreement, subject to adjustment as provided for in this
agreement.
c. Tokens, stored value cards, stored ride cards, MetroPasses, V-Passes, Mobility Passes,
and the like are sold at a discount from their face cash value and thus have a
reimbursement value per ride equal to the discount applied to the per ride face cash value.
The two key elements of determining the reimbursement value per ride are: (1) the fare in
effect at the time of usage and (2) the fare product. For most fare products, the
reimbursement value per ride rate is the discounted value of the fareset, as shown in
either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, depending on the date on which the ride was provided.
d. 31-day passes, reduced fares and 10-ride cards sold at rates in effect before October I,
2008 are not included in Exhibit B. For transition purposes, however, the applicable rates
are included in the two alternative Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking Forms
usable from and after October 1, 2008 and attached as Exhibit D.
3. Fare Adjustments. If the Council adjusts regional fares during the term of this agreement, it
shall prepare a revised Exhibit B reflecting any changes in the current reimbursement value per
ride of various classes of rides in accordance with the methodology described in Section 2 above.
The Council shall provide written notice and a copy of the revised Exhibit B to the Provider.
The revised exhibit, including the reimbursement value per ride of each type of ride, shall be
effective upon the effective date of the fare change and without formal amendment of this
agreement.
4. New Convenience/Prepaid Fare Tools. Periodically, new Convenience/Prepaid Fare tools
may be developed for the region by the Council. The reimbursement value per ride for any such
new tools will be determined by the Council using the methodology described in section 2.
Distribution of revenues from any such new Convenience/Prepaid Fare tools developed for the
region during the term of this agreement shall be governed by the provisions of this agreement.
In the event the Council develops a new Convenience/Prepaid Fare tool as described in this
section, it shall prepare a revised Exhibit B incorporating the reimbursement value per ride of the
new fare tool. The Council shall provide written notice and a copy of the revised Exhibit B to
the Provider. The revised exhibit, including the reimbursement value per ride of the new fare
tool, shall be effective upon the effective date of the new fare tool and without formal
amendment of this agreement.
2
5. Regional Transfer Reciprocity. The Council's regional fare structure provides for full
regional transfer reciprocity among all regional transit providers subject to the regional fare
structure. That is, all regional transit provider issued transfers shall be accepted by all other
regional transit providers without charge and without seeking any reimbursement of
Convenience/Prepaid Fare revenue for such transfers. The Provider agrees to implement
regional transfer reciprocity in accordance with this section and no transfer rides shall be
included in the Provider's requests for reimbursement of Convenience/Prepaid Fare revenue. In
order to implement this policy the Provider shall operate its system in accordance with the
following guidelines:
. If a ConveniencelPrepaid Fare tool is used as a transfer, the Provider shall ensure that its
fareb.ox driv~r displays will read "TRAN;SFER'~, and that t~e fare box dat~ s}!ste~ill
classIfy the fide as a transfer. /~d~ ~~ ~ ;;u:TL#7'" .~
. If the Provider's drivers record pass usage manually, he Provider shall ensure that its
drivers do not record a transfer on a Convenience/Prepaid Fare card as a
ConveniencelPrepaid Fare ride. Rather it shall be recorded and classified as a transfer.
6. Reimbursement for ConveniencelPrepaid Fare Eligible Rides. Subject to the limitations
and reductions provided for in this section and the regional transfer reciprocity provisions of
section 5, the Provider shall be reimbursed for the reimbursement value of all
Convenience/Prepaid Fare eligible rides provided during a billing cycle.
a. Pre-sold Portion Limitation. The Provider may request reimbursement only for the
pre-sold portion of a fare. For example, a customer boarding a peak express bus with a
low denomination 31-day pass must supplement the ride with cash in the fare box. In
such case, the Provider shall retain the cash amount and may only request reimbursement
based on the pre-sold portion of the fare. For rides provided before October 1,2008,
Exhibit A provides the reimbursement value per ride of the various 3 I-day pass rates.
For rides provided on and after October 1,2008, Exhibit B provides the reimbursement
value per ride of the various 31-day pass rates, except for those 31-day passes sold at
rates in effect before October 1, 2008 where the applicable reimbursement value per ride
is instead included, for transition purposes, in the two alternative Convenience Fares
Reimbursement Tracking Forms attached in Exhibit D.
b. Reimbursement Reductions. The following percentage reductions will be applied to
the gross amount of reimbursement to the Provider for Convenience/Prepaid Fare eligible
rides provided during the billing cycle:
. 1.81 % for commissions paid to outlets who sell Convenience/Prepaid Fares, and
. for any provider not involved in Motor Vehicle Excise Tax revenue sharing
through the Regional Transit Fund, an additional 5.31 % administrative fee.
7. Data Collection. The Provider shall maintain an adequate level of data collection on which
to base any application for reimbursement from ConveniencelPrepaid Fare revenue.
a. Electronic Farebox Data Collection. If the Provider can use information from the
fare box software, it is the most accurate level of detail and shall be used by the Provider
for data collection. With the implementation of the "Go-To Card" (or smart card) a
3
similar level of information detail is available to regional providers through the smart
card database administered by Metro Transit. Such information is available through
secured channels to the Provider and shall be used by the Provider for data collection.
b. Manual Farebox Data Collection. If the Provider is unable to utilize the GFI data
system in order to collect the necessary data because of the Provider's software
limitations, it may collect the data using a manual procedure.
In order to request Convenience/Prepaid Fare reimbursement, the Provider will collect from
farebox and smart card data, the fareset (fare in effect), ride type, Convenience/Prepaid Fare
value and Convenience/Prepaid Fare type.
8. Reporting of Data and Requests for Reimbursement.
a. Attached in Exhibit C are an "Electronic Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking
Form" and a "Manual Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking Form" for use in
requesting reimbursement for rides provided from the effective date of this agreement
through September 30, 2008. Attached in Exhibit D are an "Electronic Convenience
Fares Reimbursement Tracking Form" and a "Manual Convenience Fares
Reimbursement Tracking Form" for use in requesting reimbursement for rides provided
from October 1, 2008 through the termination date of this agreement.
b. For the relevant ride period, the Provider shall use one of the Convenience Fares
Reimbursement Tracking Forms as specified below, or such other form as may be
specified by the Council, in order to report Convenience/Prepaid Fare eligible rides
provided during a billing cycle and to request reimbursement of Convenience/Prepaid
Fare revenue. The Provider shall use the "Electronic Convenience Fares Reimbursement
Tracking Form" for reporting purposes unless it is authorized pursuant to Section 7(b) to
utilize manual farebox data collection. In such case, it may use the "Manual
Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking Form" for reporting purposes.
c. Requests for reimbursement by the Provider may be submitted on a calendar monthly or
calendar quarterly basis, at the Provider's option. The Provider shall request
reimbursement by submitting a Convenience Fares Reimbursement Tracking Form for
the applicable billing cycle accompanied by an invoice. The Provider shall submit the
form and an invoice for each billing cycle no later than 30 calendar days after the end of
the billing cycle or within 30 calendar days from the effective date of this agreement,
whichever is later. The form and invoice shall be submitted to the following address or
such other address as the Council may designate in writing to the Provider:

agreement shall extend from July 16, 2007 through December 31, 2009. This agreement may be
