Item No. 17-020
Date: November 28, 2016
Item/Subject: RESOLVE, Ratifying a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bangor Area
Comprehensive Transportation System
Responsible Department: Community Connector
Commentary:
This resolve would ratify the action of staff in signing a new Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Bangor Area Comprehensive Transportation System (BACTS).
BACTS is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Bangor area. BACTS
provides transit planning, public participation support and technical support on many transit
related issues for the Community Connector. BACTS and the City of Bangor have had a MOU for
several years that helps to define the relationship the two parties have.
The new MOU is for FY16, FY17 and FY18, to coincide with the timing of the Federal Transit
Administration's (FTA) triennial review process for the Community Connector. This new version
of the MOU is more extensive than in the past, doing more to outline the responsibilities of both
parties. The MOU was modified to meet the FTA requirements, and we expect the future MOUs
to look very similar to the one that has been developed this fall.
This item was discussed at the Government Operations Committee meeting on November 21,
2016.
