Item No. 1*1 2282
Date: June 23, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Implementation of Certain Fare Increases for the
Community Connector Public Transit System.
Responsible Department: Executive — Community Connector
Commentary: This Order would authorize implementation of certain fare increases for the
Community Connector public transit system effective July 1, 2014. The new fare pricing would
help offset increased operating costs and assist with stabilizing the subsidy contributed by
system partners. It is anticipated that the revised fare structure will generate an estimated
$26,300 in new fare revenue system wide. Bangor's share is estimated at $18,400. The last
increase was approximately four years ago in 2010. The FTA required Public Comment period
and Public Hearing have been held. This has been recommended for approval at a recent
Council Budget Workshop and the revenue estimate is included in the FY 2015 Budget Resolve.
