The City of Yakima Transit Division desires to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Selah for the purpose of working cooperatively to provide transfer points for riders seeking to transfer between the two transit systems' services areas.
The City of Selah has recently decided to begin providing its own transit services to its residents instead of continuing with contracted services with Yakima Transit. In addition, Selah wants to connect the two cities at agreed upon transfer points. Through this MOU, Yakima Transit permits Selah Transit to stop at agreed upon transfer points located within the City of Yakima for the purpose of serving individuals seeking to transfer between the Selah Transit system and the Yakima Transit system:
With the exception of Paratransit services, the agreed upon joint-use transfer points are the only locations within the City of Yakima in which Selah Transit is permitted to pick up or drop off passengers. Yakima Transit further agrees to permit Selah Transit to operate Paratransit services within the City of Yakima provided that Selah Transit only transports Selah originated riders. There is no cost associated with the MOU. Its intent is to benefit the residents of both the City of Selah and the City of Yakima. The MOU shall become effective May 1, 2018 and is attached for City Council review. |
