EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To:
Date:
Subject:
Interlocal Agreement - Renewal of Term
April 6, 2010, through April 5, 2015
Action Statement:
This item is an request to approve a resolution extending the term of the Interlocal Agreement
between City of Key West, City of Marathon and Monroe County, for the Lower Keys Shuttle
Bus Service, for a period of five (5) years from April 6, 2010, through April 5t 2015.
Proiect Historv:
In 2004-2005 the City of Key West received notice of award from the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) regarding grant funding for operational start up and continued operating
assistance funding of a Job Access Reverse Commute grant program commonly referred to as
JARC. JARC programs are intended to provide start up funding to areas where no bus service
exists, as a means of enhancing life quality by providing transportation options to those who
otherwise may not have transportation. It is intended to provide access to and from areas
outside of the immediate neighborhood such as business and commerce opportunities. These
services provide individuals a greater level of opportunity of employment, education. and
training and other necessary business or service related access points.
With the grant award notice in hand. the City of Key West Transportation Department began
communications with Monroe County and the newly formed City of Marathon to develop an
equal level of participation for all three (3) agencies to embark on a joint venture that would
create and provide pUblic transit services between Key West and Marathon. The first bus ran
on September 9,2005.
From the period of September 2005 - to current period, the City of Key West has realized grant
funding which contributes subsidies at 500/0 match for eligible expenses via a Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) grant; 25% match via State of Florida Department of Transportation
(FOOT) grant, with the remaining 25010 of expenses equal split between the three (3) local
agencies. At this time we anticipate the Jevel of funding and match to remain the same.
As a side bar, it should be noted that for Key West City, this is an additional opportunity to
secure grant dollars for capital items such as fixed assets for everything from new or
replacement rolling stock (vehicles) to construction costs for new buildings, renovations or other
capital improvement items that otherwise we would not be able to afford to purchase and
maintain. This added opportunity will continue as the designated fixed route provider for the
Lower Keys service.
The current agreement term of the InterJocal ;s a five (5) year term which ran from April 6, 2005,
and continues through April 5, 2010. In paragraph 2 of the agreement, there is provision to
renew the agreement with approval of all agencies. That is the intent of the request today,
which will also be brought forward to the Council Members for the City of Marathon and the
Board of County Commission for Monroe County.

Attached are two (2) single sheets of compiled data for the months of October to January, fiscal
year period 2007, compared by year and same month, through current budget period of 2010?
This is a good indicator of the latest trends in public transit use for Monroe County. It appears
that while transit use is declining, the greater decline is to the "shorter distance't trip requirement
- the Lower Keys bus service continues to be an area of need and demand, which will again see
an increase to use in the near future based simply on shear necessity.
Option #1: Advantaaes I DisadvantaGes I FiscallmDact
Option #1 would be to approve the recommended term renewal from April 6, 2010, through April
5, 2015, providing for the Lower Keys Shuttle Bus Services.
The advantage of this option is that by the City remaining the designated fixed transit provider in
Monroe County, the City is eligible to apply and receive other types of grant program funding,
should they so desire from time to time.
There are numerous advantages and opportunities provided whenever fixed route transportation
exists in a community such as a choice or alternate mode of transport, ability to reduce traffic,
reduces accidents, reduction of dependency on foreign oils, reduction of carbon emissions and
carbon footprint of the communities. etc.
There are no disadvantages to this option with regard to providing a fixed route transit service
between Key West and Marathon.
The fiscal impact is no greater for Key West than for the City of Marathon and the County of
Monroe SOCC. We are all equal partners in this venture.
ODtion #2: Advantaaes I DisadvantaGes I FiscallmDact
Option #2 would be to not approve the renewal of term of the Interlocal Agreement.
There are no advantages to this option.
The disadvantage to this option is that all areas served between Key West and Marathon would
be adversely impacted, which would inevitably have an economic impact on individuals and
businesses too. AdditionallYt KWDoT recognizes that visitors are becoming informed about
the services available and they too will begin to make choices to use public transit rather than
add to the vehide congestion on US #1 to make day trips to and from Key West or Marathon,
daily.
Recommendation:
KWDoT staff recommends Option #1, above, to approve renewal of the Interlocal Agreement for
a term of five (5) years, from April 6, 2010, through April S, 2015.
