Lyft/Uber Partnership
• Lyft/Uber program not recommended due to:
• Lack of data provided, unknown cost-
effectiveness
• City could inadvertently be subsidizing
SOV taxi-trips
• Difficult to estimate how long coupon
code will last
Sole Source Justification

(that supplies transit vehicles, technology,
staff, and management) at this time.
• Assess whether new vendors are available at
