REPORT - EXTENSION OF SANTA ROSA CITYBUS UNLIMITED RIDES FOR YOUTH PROGRAM
BACKGROUND: In July 2021 the City initiated a pilot fare-free program for TK-12th grade youth riding Santa Rosa CityBus. This program was subsequently extended for an additional two years, through June 30, 2025, using funding from the Sonoma County Climate Resilience Fund. The program has been successful in increasing youth transit ridership and has had numerous positive impacts on youth, families, and the community. The Transit Division seeks Council approval to extend the program through FY 2030 using state and local transit funds.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by resolution, extend the Santa Rosa CityBus Unlimited Rides for Youth (UR Free) program for TK-12th grade youth through June 30, 2030, subject to continued funding availability.
