SUBJECT: AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AND THE

COORDINATION OF FARES AND BUS SERVICES FOR
TRANSPORTING STUDENTS
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council authorize renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Santa
Clarita and the William S. Hart Union High School District regarding the coordination of fares and
bus service for transportation of students between home and school until June 2001.
BACKGROUND
In March 1997 the City of Santa Clarita and the William S. Hart Union High School District entered
into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate fares and bus service for the
transportation of students between home and school. The goals of the MOU were to make better use
of transit and school district resources, and to better balance passenger loads between school buses
and City transit buses. The key provisions of the MOU include maintaining equivalent fares on both
City and School District services, joint planning of services used by students, and joint public
information efforts.
Both the City and the School District believe that the MOU has accomplished the goals and wish to
continue the MOU for another three-year period. Both parties have agreed to a new provision
indicating that the City be invited to participate in meetings where changes to bell time or attendance
boundaries are discussed, since both of these significantly impact transit planning.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by City Council.
