Authority of Transit Administrator to establish promotional bus fares. <br /> <br /> The purpose is to allow the transit administrator to establish bus fares for a <br /> temporary period, not to exceed 90 (ninety) calendar days. This would allow the <br /> agency to provide lower bus fares when a new route or service is provided, or to <br /> boost ridership on routes that are not performing well. <br /> <br /> 2. Creation of a "transportation free zone". <br /> <br /> The proposal is to designate the Kona district between Kalaoa and Kealia as a <br /> transportation free zone, where riders boarding and alighting within the two areas <br /> would ride free of charge. The transportation free zone would not apply to <br /> County provided shared-ride taxi service, County operated curb to curb van <br /> service, or non-scheduled bus service. This amendment would terminate two <br /> years after enactment. <br /> ~BteP 31g7 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Comm. NO.- r s-~'"7I~ <br /> Ref. To f ' -1EC - <br /> Ref.
