RESOLUTION NO. XXXX-23
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNION CITY APPROVING UNION CITY TRANSIT’S FALL 2023 SERVICE CHANGES, EFFECTIVE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2023
WHEREAS, in the wake of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has taken the lead on a Transit Transformative Action Plan (TTAP) to increase collaboration and connectivity amongst the San Francisco Bay Area operators through Regional Network Management (RNM); and WHEREAS, connectivity amongst operators is recommended to happen through local or sub-regional operator connections with regional operators and in Union City, Union City Transit coordinates its schedule to connect with Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) trains arriving or departing at the station; and
WHEREAS, BART will implement a new schedule starting on Monday, September 11, 2023, that will reduce frequency on the routes passing through the Union City station; and WHEREAS, Union City Transit will take this opportunity to re-align its service schedule to connect with the new BART schedules as well as expand on its previous Union City Flea microtransit pilot service; and
WHEREAS, the new weekday schedule will start at 4:41 AM, instead of 4:29 AM, and end at 10:42 PM, instead of 10:45 PM, with the same amount of scheduled service along with the new weekend schedules which will start at 6:51 AM, instead of 6:39 AM, and end at 7:42 PM, instead of 7:46 PM, with the same amount of scheduled service; and WHEREAS, the service changes put forth were included in the pricing of the MV Transportation, Inc. (MV Transit) operations and maintenance contract recently awarded and MV Transit’s pricing was used in the development of Union City Transit’s approved biennial budget, so there is no anticipated cost increase to Union City Transit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Union City hereby adopts a resolution approving Union City Transit’s Fall 2023 services changes, effective Saturday, September 9, 2023.
