MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Christopher Strong, P.E., Director of Transportation
DATE: January 2, 2014
RE: Approve Agreement with Winnebago County for Transportation Services
Background
Over the last several years,GO Transit 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 2014.
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.
