THE CRY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
Date: May 29, 2002
To: The Mayor and Council
From: Hugh Earnest dIr
Urban Development Director
Subject: Funding Options for Public Transit
Background
As the Council knows, the funding for support of the City operated trolley system ceases
on June 30th of this year. My earlier suggestion for use of Block Grant funds as a funding
source for this operation was not acceptable and you have asked us to identify other
options for continuing this service.
Current Status
Razorback Transit has expressed their willingness to service the area covered by our
North (Poppy) route on July As we stated in our report to you, every effort will be
made during the month of June to visit with all existing user groups to ensure that the
transition is as smooth as possible. In addition, the contract for service that the
University is still reviewing for 2002 will be modified as necessary to reflect the new
operational conditions. The City has, for several years, contributed $30,000 a year to
Razorback Transit as partial support for their activities. I would be remiss if I did not
compliment the Razorback Transit staff for their willingness in working with us and
Ozark Regional Transit on this important public service.
Recommendation
The current funding source for the Trolley is the City Street Fund. A change in state law
several years ago enables cities to allocate monies from this fund for support of transit.
Ted Webber, Steve Davis and I have met on this issue and we concur that it is in the
overall public interest to recommend that an appropriation not to exceed $70,000 be made
from the Street Fund to support this service. We are also convinced that we can secure a
cash match valuation of at least $30,000 for the trolleys purchased with local funds over
the past several years. This level of City support will enable Ozark Regional Transit to
secure a dollar for dollar match for an access -to -work program and will ensure the
operation of an expanded trolley system through the end of 2003. This recommended use
of local funds will be much simpler and far less complex than the use of CDBG funds.
While I had recommended their use, I had also pointed out that the public hearing
requirements and issues associated with purchase of services based on actual ridership
made their use far more difficult.
