Resolution - Public Transit Services: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Lubbock, acting by and through Citibus, with Dallas Area Rapid Transit, for a GoPass Subscription and License Pilot.
Item Summary
The Interlocal Agreement between the City of Lubbock/Citibus and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), a regional transportation authority, is for licensing of the GoPass mobile ticketing application for a 6-month pilot project with one-time fees for onboarding, hosting and maintenance, and a service level agreement.
The GoPass application is an all-inclusive travel mobile application that provides mobile ticketing and multimodal trip planning functions. The application supports the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) model by combining transportation services from public and private transportation providers through a unified gateway.
The agreement will give Citibus and its passengers the full functionality of the GoPass mobile application through the duration of the pilot project. Implementation of the project is expected to take 3 months from a fully executed agreement.
This agreement shall commence on the date it is executed and shall remain in effect for a 6-month pilot project with the option to extend to a 3-year term.
Fiscal Impact
This GoPass Pilot Project will cost $47,674 for the 6-month pilot, which will be paid for with FY 2020 Federal CARES grant funds, and no local match is required.
