TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT relative to extending the Bikeshare Pilot Program for the City of Los Angeles.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), to amend the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) that dictates the terms of the Bikeshare Pilot Program.
   
   
2. EXTEND the Bikeshare Pilot Program MOU from the original two years to five years by adding an additional three years to the term.
   
   
3. TRANSFER and APPROPRIATE $384,983 within the Measure R Local Return Fund No. 51Q from Account No. 94N482 (Bicycle Plan/Program) to Account No. 94MM02 (Bike Share Operations and Maintenance) for the additional bike share operations and maintenance costs supporting program expansion. 
      
4. AUTHORIZE the General Manager, LADOT, to execute future MOU amendments for system efficiencies resulting in no net increase to program budget.
   
   
5. AUTHORIZE the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to make technical corrections as necessary to the transactions included in the October 27, 2016 LADOT report, attached to the Council file, to implement the Mayor and Council's intentions.

      
Fiscal Impact Statement:  The LADOT reports that to date, $3,214,489 has been appropriated for anticipated Bike Share Operations and Maintenance costs ($875,811 in the Local Transportation Fund, $203,898 in Measure R, and $2,134,780 in Proposition A).  Per the MOU (Contract No. C-127318) with the Metro, capital costs are split with the City paying 50 percent and Metro paying 50 percent.  The net operating and maintenance costs are  also split between the City and Metro with the City paying 65 percent and Metro paying 35 percent.  The request of $384,983 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 will cover the enhanced marketing expenses in Downtown Los Angeles and startup operation costs for the West Los Angeles launch expected in Summer 2017.  These are conservative cost estimates as they assume 0 percent fare box recovery. Bike share programs around the United States, on average, recover 60 percent fare box revenues after launch and the expectation is that the system will move in this direction.  User generated funds will be reinvested into operations and maintenance of the system. Funding beyond FY 2017-18 will be be requested through the budget process. 

Community Impact Statement:  None submitted.
