WHEREAS, Airport is an enterprise of City which is operated to be financially self-sufficient, and contracts with concessionaires, tenants and other parties which are granted rights to operate commercially and provide critical revenues to the Airport which contribute to the City's payment of operating and maintenance expenses and debt service on capital improvements, which are incurred to provide the infrastructure, facilities and air service which make up the terminal area market; and
WHEREAS, The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has promulgated rules and regulations regarding licensing and operation of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), of which Permittee is one; and

OVERVIEW
Fresno Yosemite International Airport
Ground Transportation Rules and Regulations
In 2018, over 1.7 million passengers and hundreds of tons of freight arrived and departed through Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT). Each one of those passengers arrived to, or departed from the airport on one of the various forms of ground transportation, including personal vehicles, rental cars, family/friend drop off/pick up, taxi cabs, hotel courtesy shuttles, public bus, limousine service, or ride-share.
In addition to passengers and freight, hundreds of airline, concession, Airports Department, and federal employees arrive and depart their workplace at the airport around the clock, every day of the year, accounting for hundreds of thousands additional trips. The businesses operating at FAT receive supplies, materials, and merchandise from delivery vehicles daily.
Facilitating this magnitude and variety of ground transportation in an orderly and safe manner requires long-range planning and capital investment in roadway systems, specialized circulation systems and facilities, and various types of parking that accommodate the differing needs of parking customers.
As with all capital needs throughout the airport, revenue streams are necessary to provide funding for the improvements directly, or for the debt payments on bonds used to fund construction. Historically, these revenues have been derived from public parking fees, rental car leases, concession fees, and other airport general revenues. As the airport continues to grow, its' general revenues are required for other capital and operating needs. Consequently, this Ground Transportation Program is necessary for two fundamental reasons: 1) to help plan for, and provide the facilities and services needed to ensure safe and orderly services, and; 2) to ensure that all users of ground transportation program pay a fair and reasonable fee representing their proportionate share of the funding needed to provide and maintain the infrastructure.
For these reasons, all vehicles and the owners, operators, and drivers thereof, transporting or offering to transport passengers or goods, shall operate at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (Airport) in compliance with all applicable Rules and Regulations contained herein.
PURPOSE
The purpose of these ground transportation Rules and Regulations is to establish a fair and reasonable fee structure, and to encourage safe, effective, and efficient use of the Airport roadway and transportation infrastructure to maintain a high level of Airport customer service. The following categories of ground transportation service (also referred to as "Provider") are impacted by these Rules and Regulations:

SECTION 7 - TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES (TNCs), OR
APPLICATION-BASED COMMERCIAL GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS (ABCT-PROVIDERS).
7 .1 This class of Ground Transportation Provider operates under an application-based business model which enables direct communication with customers. This feature enables the customer and TNC Driver to communicate with their respective mobile devices and enables the customer to arrange for personalized ground transportation. Likewise, it enables the TNC Driver to by-pass the airport rules and procedures under which non-application based Ground Transportation Providers are required to operate. This feature creates a privilege for the TNC Providers and the TNC Drivers which is not available to other Ground Transportation Providers and Drivers. Also, because TNCs are able to avoid the rules and procedures that other Providers are subject to, there are special rules and procedures that TNC Drivers must adhere to, as listed in 7.2 below. Finally, the business model of the TN Cs enables it to have access to the Passenger while still in the terminal and before the Passenger can be accessed by other Ground Transportation Providers. This business model is more similar to a terminal concession in that it has virtual access to Passengers while still in the terminal that other classes of Ground Transportation Providers do not have. For these reasons, TNC Providers will be offered a Non-Exclusive Transportation Network Company Airport Permit and TNC Drivers will have unlimited access to the various parts of the Airport. The City will utilize a Geo-Fence tracking system as a means to monitor their ingress onto Airport property, their business transactions taking place on the mobile applications, and their egress off Airport property. While providing services at the Airport terminal, TNCs will be required to drop off Passengers at TNC assigned area at the outer curb.
7.2 While operating at the terminal, TNCs will be subject to the same procedures that private vehicles are while dropping off and picking at the curb, as follows:
A. No vehicles may be left unattended under any circumstance; B. Parking and waiting are prohibited;
C. The practice of cruising, as defined herein, is prohibited; D. The Cell Phone Lot has limited parking capacity and is reserved for the public and may not be used by TNC Drivers;
E. TNC Drivers who must park to wait for a Passenger, or enter the terminal for any purpose must use the Public Parking Lot at the posted parking rate.
SECTION 8-TAXICAB SERVICES.
8.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR TAXICAB SERVICE. Prior to providing any ground transportation service to or from the Airport, a taxicab service provider and driver is required to obtain a Permit and Vehicle Identification Decal.

Badging process requires two separate trips to the badging office.
1. First Visit in the Badging Office:
a. The applicant must pay $69 in fees and present ORIGINAL government issued documents that establish the applicant's identity and legal authority to work in the United States. (1 -9 documentation. This is most commonly done by a driver's license and a social security card but various other documents are acceptable - see http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis ).
J:\FYI\Tenanl Files\Grouncl Transportation\Rules & Regs\FAT GT Rules Regs (Final) 03-28-19.docx Foreign born individuals must also bring other documentation. Contact the Badging Office for specifics.
b. Applicants will be live-scan finger printed and information will be received for submittal of their TSA security threat assessment.
c. When FBI and TSA clearances are received (currently around two weeks), applicants will be scheduled for a badging class.
2. Second Visit in the Badging Office:
a. Applicants will attend the badging class where they will learn about local security and, if applicable, driving and escorting procedures. b. At the conclusion of the class, they will be issued their FAT Security I.D. (badge) with the authorized access levels.
c. The second trip usually takes approximately 1 1/2hrs. at the badging office.
Documents that establish identity:
Valid State Driver's License
Valid State ID Card
US Passport
Military ID
Active Issued ID
Resident Alien Card
B. Authorizing Signature Form
Documents that establish
employment eligibility:
Birth Certificate
Social Security Card
U.S. Passport
Permanent Resident Alien Card
U.S. Citizen ID Card
Certification of Naturalization
Native American Tribal Document
Each company that requests Airport ID Badges must identify one or more responsible company employees as "Authorizing Signers". Only Badge Application Forms signed by an "Authorizing Signer" will be accepted for processing. Names of individuals authorized to sign Badge Application Forms for a particular company are on file in the Airport Badging Office. Each Badge Application submitted for processing will be checked to ensure that it is authorized by one of the authorized signers. The signature of an Authorized Signer on a Badge Application Form certifies that the applicant is an employee of the particular company, and that the Application has been reviewed for completeness. The Authorizing Signer is also responsible for indicating on the Badge Application that the employee will have a need to access the ground transportation queuing area.
C. Security Training
J:\FYI\ T enanl Files\Ground T ransportalion\Rules & Regs\FAT GT Rules Regs (Final) 03-28-19.docx I
I
I
Badge applicants must be able to comprehend the Airport's security rules, guidelines, regulations and procedures and possess the ability to perform the responsibilities associated with unescorted access privileges. To fulfill this requirement, all individuals applying for an Airport photo ID Badge with access to the ground transportation queueing area must first undergo security training.
Employees will undergo a class instructed security training program. Applicants will need to come in for processing/ fingerprinting before attending the training.
D. Renewal
It is the responsibility of each individual to renew his or her Badge. Airport ID Badges are issued with an expiration date that is no more than 2 years from the issue date. All individuals are required to undergo Ground Transportation Refresher Training upon renewal. Failure to renew the Airport ID Badge prior to the expiration date will result in loss of airport access privileges.
E. Badge Replacement
It is the responsibility of the individual to whom an Airport Badge is issued to secure and properly care for that card. Any expired, damaged or defaced badges will be confiscated and possibly suspended. Badges that have been lost or stolen must be reported immediately to the Badging Office. This notification will allow the "revocation" of lost or stolen Badges in the Security Card Access System, so if found, the Badge cannot be used to gain access.
Individuals who require a replacement Badge must complete a "Badge Application Form" before a replacement may be issued. This Form must be signed by the Authorizing Signer for the company. Badge Application Forms are available in the Badging Office. Replacement cost is $25.
Badges will only be issued a maximum of three (3) times before they are permanently revoked. After a badge is lost or revoked for the third time the individual must report to a Badge Appeal Board in order to get their badge reissued. This appeal process does not guarantee reissuance of an Airport Badge.
F. Return of Airport ID Badges
It is the responsibility of each company to maintain accountability of all Airport ID Badges issued to their employees. Badges must be retrieved and returned to the Airport when an individual is no longer providing ground transportation services at the airport, or is no longer employed by a ground transportation provider. Badges must be returned to Airport Public Safety within 3 days (72 hours) of the separation. If an individual voluntarily separates from a company under good terms, and the badge cannot be returned within 72 hours, the individual will have 30 days to return the badge to the airport. Notification must still be made to Airport Public Safety immediately so the badge can be deactivated.
J:\FYI\Tenanl Files\Ground Transporlalion\Rules & Regs\FAT GT Rules Regs (Final) 03-28-19.docx In cases where an employee is terminated, laid off or on strike, and the company does not have the ID Badge, notification must be made to Airport Public Safety immediately. Upon this notification, the Airport Public Safety will "revoke" the individual's access authority in the Security Card Access System, to prevent them from accessing the AOA, Restricted or Secured Areas. All Badges issued to your company must be accounted for. Failure to notify the Airport about any ID Badge that you can no longer account for is a violation of the Airport Security Plan and may result in administrative sanctions and/or civil penalties.
H. ID Badge Audits
The Transportation Security Administration requires that the Airport regularly audit ID Badge records to ensure accuracy and accountability. Paper Audits will include a listing of all Airport ID Badges issued to a particular company. Companies will be required to review the list, ensuring that all individuals are still employed by them, still require Airport access, and are in possession of their Airport ID Badge.
Physical Audits, in addition to a review and certification of the employee listing by each company, may require each badge holder to report to a specific location for a physical inspection of their ID Badge. Failure to complete Audits as requested will result in the suspension of Airport ID Badge issuance privileges.
J. Record Keeping
Companies are required to maintain records pertaining to ID Badge Issuance for all employees. These records must be maintained for the duration of time that the employee is with the company, and up to 180 days from the date of termination/separation. It is recommended that companies keep this documentation in a separate file; remember, it is subject to audit by the Airport or TSA. Records must be made available to the Airport for inspection to determine compliance with all security requirements. The records shall include, but not be limited to the following:
1. A copy of the Badge Application
2. A copy of the Separation Form
3. Any other information as required by the Airport
Each company must provide the Airport with the location the records will be stored and the name or title and phone number of the individual who maintains the records.

22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or Airport Sponsor Assurances 3/2014 Page 10 of20
to engage in any aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airpo1t, the sponsor will inse1t and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to- I) furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users thereof, and
2) charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service, provided that the contractor may be ail owed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
' c. Each fixed-based operator at the airp01t shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed-based operators making the same or similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed-based operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airpo1t (whether as a tenant, non-tenant, or subtenant of another air carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules, regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly and substantially related to providing air transpo1tation as are applicable to all such air carriers which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable classifications such as tenants or non-tenants and signatory carriers and non signatory carriers. Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft with its own employees [including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling] that it may choose to perform. g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the sponsor under these provisions. h.

1. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil aviation needs of the public.
Airport Sponsor Assurances 3/2014 Page 11 of20
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the services at an airpmt by a single fixed-based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed-based operator to provide such services would require the reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed-based operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial adve1tising and surveying, air carrier operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not · conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft, sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airpmt which will make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for which a grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airpmt and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.

All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airpmt; the local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or prope1ty; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport. The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1) If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the owner or operator of the airpmt, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the revenues from any of the airport owner or Airport Sponsor Asstirances 3/2014 Page 12 of20
operator's facilities, including the airport, to support not only the airport but also the airpmt owner or operator's general debt obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the airport (and, in the ease of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply. 2) If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an amount equal to the remaining unamortized pmtion (amortized over a 20-year period) of any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land acquisition on or after October I, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to that airport on or after October 1, 1996. 3) Certain i-evenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at Section 47102 of title 49 United States Code), if the l' AA determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Sec. 813 of Public Law 112-95. b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the use of airpmt revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title 49, United States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in accordance with the provisions of Section 47107 of Title 49, United States Code.
26. Reports and Inspections.
It will:

It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial assistance and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary, or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that -
a. Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent tbereto; or
b. The total number of movements ( counting each landing as a movement) of Government aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the airpott (the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.
It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic control or air navigation activities, or weather-reporting and communication activities related to air traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein, or rights in buildings of the sponsor as the Secretary considers necessary or desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.
29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. It will keep up to date at all times an airpmt layout plan of the airport showing 1) boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed additions thereto;
2) the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures (such as runways, taxiways, aprons, terminal buildings, hangars and Airport Sponsor Assurances 3/2014 Page 14 of20
roads), including all proposed extensions and reductions of existing airport facilities;
3) the location of all existing and proposed nonaviation areas and of all existing improvements thereon; and
4) all proposed and existing access points used to taxi aircraft across the airport's property boundary. Such airport layout plans and each amendment, revision, or modification thereof, shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary which approval shall be evidenced by the signature of a duly authorized representative of the Secretary on the face of the airport layout plan. The sponsor will not make or permit any changes or alterations in the airport or any of its facilities which are not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary and which might, in the opinion of the Secretary, adversely affect the safety, utility or efficiency of the airport. b. If a change or alteration in the airport or the facilities is made which the Secretary determines adversely affects the safety, utility, or efficiency of any federally owned, leased, or funded prope1iy on or off the airport and which is not in conformity with the airport layout plan as approved by the Secretary, the owner or operator will, if requested, by the Secretary (I) eliminate such adverse effect in a manner approved by the Secretary; or (2) bear all costs of relocating such property ( or replacement thereof) to a site acceptable to the Secretary and all costs of restoring such prope1iy ( or replacement thereof) to the level of safety, utility, efficiency, and cost of operation existing before the unapproved change in the airport or its facilities except in the case of a relocation or replacement of an existing airpmi facility due to a change in the Secretary's design standards beyond the control of the airport sponsor.
30. Civil Rights.
It will promptly take any measures necessary to ensure that no person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in any activity conducted with, or benefiting from, funds received from this grant.
