Common use of RTA Clause in Contracts

RTA. The RTA was created in 1989 as a Joint Powers Authority to provide management of regional fixed-route public transportation services, as well as regional paratransit services. In 2001, the paratransit service, called RTA Runabout, began providing complementary ADA service for all five fixed-route providers operating in the region. The mission of the RTA is to provide safe, reliable and efficient transportation services that improve and enhance the quality of life for the citizens and visitors of San ▇▇▇▇ Obispo County. The County is located on the beautiful Central Coast of California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The current population of the county is 284,010, including that of three small, urbanized areas (UZAs): San ▇▇▇▇ Obispo designated in 1990; El Paso ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇-Atascadero in 2000; and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Beach in 2010. The RTA coordinates regional services with local fixed-route providers in each UZA in the County, as well as within the Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ UZA (population 130,000) in nearby northern Santa Barbara County. The RTA directly operates hourly service on four regional fixed-routes and ADA paratransit services primarily along the US-101 and SR-1 corridors, as well as express commuter services during peak travel periods. Three out of the four regional fixed routes converge on downtown San ▇▇▇▇ Obispo, 7 days a week. The RTA regional fixed-route service has a peak pull-out of 15 buses, and provides almost 500,000 passenger-trips annually, while weekday productivity ranges from 4 to 23 boardings/hour. The RTA also operates community- based services funded by SLO County in small rural areas and is funded by the City of Paso ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to operate its local fixed-route and a local Dial-A-Ride programs. Finally, as of January 2021, the RTA also directly operates SoCo Transit – the eight-bus local fixed-route service operated in the Beach Communities of the Five Cities Area. These services provided over 300,000 additional fixed route trips with productivity in line with what is seen on the RTA regional fixed routes. Fixed route fare revenue is approximately $1 million per year and is expected to increase as ridership increases.
