EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

JANUARY 16, 2020

 

Preamble

Motion by:

 

Najarian

 

Related to Item 12:  Mobility on Demand Pilot Project

 

The Mobility On Demand program was funded in part by an FTA grant and has been contracted out for operation and marketing for the past year. 

 

Staff is now requesting that the program continue to operate at close of first year’s contract end for two of the three cities originally contracted (Compton and El Monte will remain in the program. North Hollywood will be excluded).

 

It would be prudent at this time to conduct a cost/benefit analysis to capture all costs to determine the sustainability of the program.
