DATE: January 16, 2013
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 Paratransit Service 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 2013.
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.
