Relationship To Strategic Plan:
Goal II - Responsive City Government Supporting a Diverse and Viable Economy
Objective 2.1 - To ensure a diverse City tax base
Goal IV - Desirable Place to Live, Work and Recreate
Objective 4.1 - To maintain public transportation investments with high quality transit and airport services
Executive Summary:
Council is asked to approve an agreement to be used with various transportation network companies. The attached agreement shall be used for Uber, Lyft, and all other transportation network companies that may desire to provide pick-ups or drop-offs at the Fayetteville Regional Airport. The term of the agreements with transportation network companies shall be for three years.
Background:
The Airport Commission considered the transportation network company agreement at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 26, 2022 and recommended approval by City Council. Transportation network companies have used the Fayetteville Regional Airport for years without an agreement that detailed operational or fee remittance requirements. City Council’s approval of the attached agreement will close that loop and serve as the plan for current and future transportation network company operators to use when servicing passengers at the Fayetteville Regional Airport.
City Council approved the fees for transportation network companies in the fiscal year 2022-2023 Adopted Fee Schedule.
Issues/Analysis:
None.
Budget Impact:
All revenues generated from transportation network company agreements will remain with the Airport Operating Fund, and there will be no impact to the City of Fayetteville General Fund.
Options:
• Approve the proposed agreement to be used with transportation network companies and allow the City Manager to execute these documents on behalf of the City.
• Do not approve the proposed agreement or allow the City Manager to execute these documents on behalf of the City.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that City Council move to approve the proposed agreement to be used with transportation network companies and allow the City Manager to execute these documents on behalf of the City
