Staff Summary (background) The action before the Town Council is approval of the FY 2027 Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA), also known as Valley Metro. Approval of the IGA keeps the annual agreement with Valley Metro in place and allows RideChoice to continue for eligible Fountain Hills residents during FY 2027. RideChoice is the Town’s only active transit program. No General Fund monies are currently budgeted for transit service. The program is funded through restricted regional transit sources and accumulated restricted transit fund balance. Based on current projections, existing restricted transit fund balances are sufficient to cover the projected FY 2026 and FY 2027 funding gaps.
