ISSUE

At the June 25, 2015 meeting, the Board adopted the Regional Bikeshare Implementation Plan (Plan) for Los Angeles County and awarded a two-year contract to Bicycle Transit Systems, Inc. (BTS) for the equipment, installation and operations of the Metro Countywide Bikeshare Phase 1 Pilot in downtown Los Angeles (Pilot). During the discussion period, several motions (Attachment A) were introduced as they relate to regional interoperability and expediting the implementation of the expansion communities. Portions of these amendments were referred to in an omnibus motion put forward by the Chair and approved by the Board. The specifics of the omnibus motion were not clear to staff. The following summarizes the potential financial impacts of the motions as expressed at the June meeting.

Motion by Directors Butts, Dubois, Knabe and Najarian

At the June 2015 meeting, Directors Butts, Dubois, Knabe and Najarian introduced Motion Item 14 addressing regional interoperability and funding (Attachment A-1). The following addresses the potential financial impact of some of the provisions included within the motion.

"3) Do not require cities receiving any grant funds (such as Metro's Call for Projects or operating subsidies) to use Metro's chosen bicycle technology.
Allow cities the discretion to choose the most cost-effective and locally-appropriate technology between BTS/BCycle and CH/SoBi; two systems selected through a competitive process with vendor contracts executed prior to Metro's NTP."
