2. New “tripper” route – potential start – 2nd semester of this school year
GO Transit has been challenged with peak demand for GO Transit bus service after
school at Oshkosh North High School (ONHS) since the implementation of the revenue
agreement between the City and the Oshkosh Area School District. This had led to
overcrowding and negative consequences for both student and non-student bus riders
who cannot board the bus after it meets capacity.
GO Transit staff has been evaluating these issues and possible solutions. Staff believes
that the issues caused by this peak demand can be resolved by adding a single “tripper”
route each day from ONHS. Capacity is still adequate on other runs at this time.
We have estimated that the net cost for a “tripper” bus (after state and federal aid) would
be an extra $5,500 per semester. After reviewing our agreement with the Oshkosh Area
School District (OASD) and discussing funding options, GO Transit and OASD have
tentatively agreed to share in the additional cost of the “tripper” bus for ONHS pending
council and school board approval. This would amount to $2,750 per semester for each
entity through the end of the agreement in August 2023.
