The CRA has provided funding for the Downtown Roundabout (trolley service) since FY 2006. This program, which is administered by the City, provides free transportation through the downtown area from Tri-Rail to the beach.
During the current fiscal year, the CRA and the City wish to enter into an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) to provide the $500,000 for the Downtown Transit Pilot Program and Downtown Transit Study. Additionally, this ILA will provide funding for operation and maintenance of the existing Downtown Roundabout trolley system. The term of this agreement shall commence October 1, 2017 and terminate on September 30, 2018. The ILA automatically renews annually provided the CRA includes funding for the trolley service in the CRA’s budget.
