Recommendation Concerning the Interlocal Agreement with the Santa Rosa Island Authority Relating to Public Transportation Services on Pensacola Beach for 2020 - Tonya Ellis, Mass Transit Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the Interlocal Agreement with the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA), relating to public transportation services on Pensacola Beach for 2020:

A. Approve the Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County and the Santa Rosa Island Authority, relating to public transportation services on Pensacola Beach, via Escambia County Area Transit Authority (ECAT) trolleys, from May 22, 2020, through September 7, 2020, with the SRIA reimbursing the County for all operating costs; and

BACKGROUND:

For the last several years, SRIA and ECAT have cooperatively arranged for trolley service on Pensacola Beach during the busy summer beach season. The trolley service route travels along Fort Pickens Road and Via De Luna Drive, allowing beach-goers, tourists, and locals an opportunity to visit more of the beach, and subsequently more of the beach businesses. The trolley service route runs seven days a week during the contract period.

The trolley service also stops at the pavilion on Casino Beach, which serves as a drop location for the ECAT "Beach Jumper" route, bringing passengers from Pensacola to Pensacola Beach.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) will reimburse the County for all operating costs.
