RE: Resolution to add GO Transit/OASD “tripper” route
BACKGROUND
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
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.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of this amendment to the revenue agreement between the city and
OASD to add “tripper” service.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
