Council approves transit contract extension with Dart County Jobs and Family Services at $22.65 per ride
Summary
The council adopted a resolution authorizing the mayor to extend a contract with Dart County Jobs and Family Services for transit services at $22.65 per person each way; the motion carried by roll call.
The Greenville City Council voted to authorize the mayor to enter a contract extension with Dart County Jobs and Family Services to provide transit services at a rate of $22.65 per person each way.
Mr. Norris moved to adopt the resolution; the motion carried on a roll-call vote. Council members approved the resolution during the meeting after brief questions about contract continuity and monthly ridership data. City staff said existing contracts were not ceased and that staff is preparing a more detailed spreadsheet showing ride counts and driver hours to analyze transit efficiency and budget impacts.
Staff noted Family Health and Wayne Hospital produce roughly 20 rides per month each (approximate) while the Job and Family Services contract has a larger volume of rides. The city will produce additional data pulled from payroll and EcoLane ride records for a multi-period review.
Next steps: The City will proceed with the contracted transit service at the authorized per-ride rate and staff will return additional ridership and efficiency figures for council review.
