STRATEGIC PLAN:1.1 Outreach: Continue to strengthen and innovate in how we deliver information to the community and our partners. BACKGROUND:The Bozeman Transportation Advisory Board has adopted a 2-yr work plan to guide the business of the Board. One adopted item in the work plan is for engagement with the Gallatin Valley Urban Transportation District (UTD). The 2020 Census demonstrated a significant population increase in Gallatin County. In Bozeman, this population increase triggered a change in classification from a rural area to a small urban area and in federal transit funding. Eligible recipients of the small urban, FTA Section 5307 Program, do not include non-profit agencies such as HRDC. In order to continue receiving federal funding, which makes up a significant portion of the budget, a new funding structure was needed. Knowing this population change was coming, local stakeholders, and multiple planning studies recommended the formation of an Urban Transportation District (UTD) to ensure Streamline and Galavan could continue receiving federal funding and that it was the best option for the community to allow for continuity of services. A UTD is an entity used to operate a transit system, accompanied by a governing board charged with managing the operations, infrastructure, and activities of a public transportation system. It operates a single purpose entity with a focus on regional collaboration and representation, and has no significant geographical constraints. UTD officials will be on hand to discuss progress and the Board is encouraged to engage with them on opportunities for future collaboration. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:None ALTERNATIVES:None 7 FISCAL EFFECTS:None Report compiled on: September 20, 2024 8 Memorandum REPORT TO:Transportation Board FROM:Nic Focken, Parking Program Manager Ben Bailey, Neighborhood Services and Code compliance Program Manager. SUBJECT:Work session for Gallatin High School parking district. MEETING DATE:September 25, 2024 AGENDA ITEM TYPE:Policy Discussion RECOMMENDATION:Provide staff with information about creating a parking district. STRATEGIC PLAN:4.1 Informed Conversation on Growth: Continue developing an in-depth understanding of how Bozeman is growing and changing and proactively address change in a balanced and coordinated manner. BACKGROUND:Residents around Gallatin High School have shown interest in creating a Parking Benefit Zone or Residential Parking Permit District. Staff's goal is to inform the Transportation Board of the proper procedure to create either district. UNRESOLVED ISSUES:No unresolved issues. ALTERNATIVES:Alternatives as proposed by the board. FISCAL EFFECTS:The fiscal effects of creating a district around the Gallatin High School are employing a new parking officer to effectively patrol the district. The program would also have to adopt an aggressive permit price to promote a neutral cost recovery.
