CITY COUNCIL REPORT 
 
SUBJECT: 
Resolution No. 2652 - FY 2027 Amendment to the Transit Services Agreement with the 
Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) 
MEETING DATE: 
June 23, 2026 
 
TO: 
Mayor and Council 
FROM: 
Jason Earp, Development Services Director  
REVIEWED: 
Reyes Medrano, Jr., City Manager 
 
PURPOSE: 
City Council will consider adopting Resolution No. 2652 approving the FY 2027 Amendment to the Transit 
Services Agreement between the City of Tolleson and the Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) and 
authorizing the Mayor to execute the Amendment. 
 
BACKGROUND: 
The City of Tolleson participates in regional public transportation services through an existing Transit Services 
Agreement with the Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA). The Agreement establishes the terms and 
conditions under which RPTA provides regional transit services to residents and visitors within the City. 
 
Each fiscal year, RPTA prepares an amendment to the Agreement to update service schedules, operating 
assumptions, and funding allocations for the upcoming fiscal year. The FY 2027 Amendment replaces and 
supersedes Schedules A, B, C, D, and E of the current Agreement while all other terms and conditions remain 
unchanged. 
 
DISCUSSION: 
The FY 2027 Amendment provides for the continuation of regional transit services within the City of Tolleson 
for the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. 
 
Under Schedule A, RPTA will continue to provide regionally funded fixed-route bus service within Tolleson. The 
estimated value of these services is $642,968 and is funded through regional transit funding sources. 
 
Schedules B, C, and D identify fixed-route bus, ADA paratransit, and RideChoice services funded through 
regional transportation revenues. No direct City contribution is required for these services during FY 2027. 
Schedule E identifies an estimated $152,777 in Public Transportation Funds (PTF) available to support ADA-
related transit services. 
 
Approval of the Amendment will allow the City to continue receiving regional transit services and maintain 
participation in the regional transit network without interruption. 
 
BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no direct financial obligation to the City of Tolleson associated with the FY 2027 Amendment. The fixed-
route, ADA paratransit, and RideChoice services identified in the Amendment are funded through regional 
transportation funding sources, including Public Transportation Funds (PTF). Therefore, no additional 
appropriations are required as a result of this action. 
 
RECOMMENDATION: 
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2652 approving the FY 2027 Amendment to the Transit Services 
Agreement between the City of Tolleson and the Regional Public Transportation Authority and authorizing the 
Mayor to execute the Amendment.
