Cost to provide JARC service is approximately $2,125 per day = $10,625 a 5-day week = $42,500 a month - Estimate Funds will be depleted and service will should end February 14, 2014..

9. JARC SERVICE Staff Recommendation Recommendation - (Without any new funding) - Implement the following changes February 17, 2014 Eliminate the Express Service ($177,350) 15-minute shuttle Monday – Friday 9:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. from downtown to Mall Eliminate the Circulator Service ($177,350) 30-minute circulator Monday – Friday 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Mall through Harper Creek Village Eliminate 1 night van – JARC Service ($152,562) Monday – Friday 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Tele-Transit door-to-door service with job trips priority Modify SW Capital route to provide: Service to Harper Creek Village 4 times a week day (Meijer & Walmart) Monday – Friday, on the 8:15 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. trips Saturday, on the 10:15 a.m., 1:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. trips

10. JARC SERVICE Staff Recommendation Implications: Continuing these services without a long term sustainable funding source will severely impact Transit’s and the City’s general fund budget. Transit currently has 3 open positions. Eliminating all service (3 positions) will not result in staff reductions.
