MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Christopher Strong, P.E., Director of Transportation
DATE: January 18, 2012
RE: Approve Agreement with Winnebago County for Transportation Services
Background
Over the last several years, the Oshkosh Transit System has entered into agreements with Winnebago
County to provide various transportation services on the County's behalf. These services include:
Dial -A -Ride, Cabulance, Rural Elderly and Disabled Bus Service, Advocap Mealsite Transportation
and the Oshkosh to Neenah Route. These services enhance mobility options in the City and the
County, with most of these programs oriented toward the elderly and disabled citizens of Oshkosh
and Winnebago County. This resolution would approve a similar agreement for calendar year 2012.
Analysis
The proposed agreement with the County contains no changes in services compared to those
provided in previous years. The funding level has been adjusted upward slightly, to reflect the
increasing demand for these programs.
Fiscal Impact
The agreement with the County will allow the transit system to provide more cost - effective
transportation options to City residents as well as others living elsewhere in the County. The
agreement is beneficial to the County in that it allows the grant funding it receives to be matched with
Federal and state funding, to provide improved mobility options.
Recommendation
The Transportation Department recommends the Common Council approve this agreement with
Winnebago County for Transportation Services as presented. Please contact me if you have any
questions.
