RTD 2025 Funding Agreement.pdf

The document is a 2025 Funding Agreement between the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and the City of Brighton, Colorado, for funding local transportation services through a Microtransit Pilot Program. The agreement covers the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, with RTD contributing up to $1,800,000 and the City of Brighton contributing up to $600,000 to operate demand-responsive transit services. The City will provide microtransit services within the RTD boundaries Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, using demand-responsive vehicles to provide transit services for the general public.

The funding is structured as a cost-sharing arrangement, with specific performance expectations for the microtransit service. RTD requires the City to meet performance metrics including two passengers per hour, 50% of trips with wait times less than 30 minutes, and 80% rolling stock reliability. The cost per vehicle service hour is estimated between $70-$80, which includes driver pay, vehicle costs, customer support, technology, and other administrative expenses. The agreement includes provisions for quarterly reporting, marketing materials review, drug and alcohol testing requirements, and compliance with RTD's Title VI Program for transit equity.
