Transit Commission Meeting 11/12/2024 – Will Vote On $154,000 Purchase Of New Fare Collection System To Replace Obsolete Existing System

The Transit Commission is meeting 11/12/2024 at 2:30PM.

They have one action item which is a request to award a contract for a fare collection system to WisGO. Valley Transit’s old fare collection system is obsolete and needs to be replaced. This new system would cost $153,305 in the first year which would cover the cost of equipment and system-setup and also include a $32,585 annual system fee for software maintenance and transaction fees. Valley Transit would like to add a 10% contingency fee for unknown/unexpected costs which will bring the total first year cost to $168,636. 80% of this would be covered by federal grant dollars and the remaining 20% would be covered by Valley Transit’s existing budget. Future annual operating costs would be paid for by 60% State and Federal grants and by 40% local municipalities.

As an information item, the commission will be receiving an update on the emergency purchase of a maintenance hoist.
