RE: Renewal of PACE/Dial-A-Ride Local Share Agreement
Since 1987, the City of McHenry has entered into an annual Local Share Agreement with PACE
offering a curb-to-curb, Dial-A-Ride program. The program is funded through a mixture of user
fees, PACE subsidies, and a local share portion.
For the 2006 contract year, PACE proposes the following funding mix for the estimated $237,154
program. The proposed estimate reflects a Local Share increase of $12,589, which PACE
contributes to its rising deficit and fuel costs.
Year 2006 Year-2005
Rider Fares $ 11,266 $ 11,266
PACE Subsidy 143,468 139,969
Local Share 82,420 69,831
$237,154 $221,066
The cost of the city’s portion of the service, service hours, and a listing of holidays on which service
is not provided are detailed in Exhibit A of the attached agreement along with ridership statistics
from January through August 2005. The total number of trips originating and ending within the city
has decreased by 3,694 from the same period last year.
Rides are arranged through a service provider under contract with PACE. The fare charged to
riders is listed below; fares have remained the same since Year 2000. Reduced fare rates are
provided to senior citizens, persons with disabilities, students and children age seven through 11
years. The city’s cost for the Senior Bus Pass Program has increased by $905.60 from the same
period last year.
Full Fare $1.75
Reduced Fare .75
Transfer .10
Reduced Transfer .05
Recommendation: To authorize the Mayor’s execution of the attached Local Share Agreement
with PACE for the term of January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006 for the local share amount
of $82,420.
