Title

AN ORDINANCE relating to the regional reduced fare permit administrative fee; and amending Ordinance 12643, Section 22, as amended, and K.C.C. 4A.700.510.

Body

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

1.  K.C.C. 4A.700.510 establishes a $3.00 administrative fee for the regional reduced fare permit (“RRFP”) for seniors and disabled persons.

2.  Many seniors and disabled persons are low income and on fixed incomes, and Metro understands that the administrative fee can be a barrier for these riders.

3.  Metro has worked with the fourteen other agencies that are signatories to the Regional Reduced Fare Permit Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) to amend the provision in the MOA that sets the cost of the administrative fee for the RRFP at $3.00 in order to provide participating agencies the option of reducing or waiving this fee at their discretion.

                     BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:

                     SECTION 1.  Ordinance 12643, Section 22, as amended, and K.C.C. 4A.700.510 are each hereby amended to read as follows.

                     The administrative fee for the regional reduced fare permit for seniors and disabled persons shall be no more than three dollars.
