Memorandum
CASE LOG NO.:NA
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider changes in transit fare structure
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2005
INTRODUCTION:
With the institution of regular route transit service in 2004, which triggered the requirement to provide
ADA transit service, fares for Shakopee Transit and Scott County Transit services will have to comply
with the regional fare structure. Scott County expects to begin ADA service on or about June 1 st, thus
the County Board and City Council are asked to approve these changes effective June 1 st. On Tuesday,
April 26th, the County Board did approve the changes.
The only increase for Shakopee Transit riders will be the general public using dial a ride. Part of the
reason for this increase is to encourage use of the circulator service, which is a more cost effective
service. It should be noted that for youth and seniors, there will be no change in the dial a ride fares.
ACTION REQUESTED:
After closing the public hearing, offer a motion to approve the proposed fare changes effective June 1,
2005.
