Transportation Network Company Contract

The alternative to contract with a TNC was not recommended because the Town would remain responsible for the assurance of all compliance and oversight requirements. This fact was also complicated by the fact that partnerships with TNCs are a new method of providing service that has not been fully assessed by the industry. The regulations and oversight of TNCs are still ambiguous and concerns exist around the qualification and safety. Turnkey Contract Contracting with a private transportation provider for the day- to-day management of the public transportation service was not recommended because the Town would continue to be responsible for all transportation regulations and oversight of the contractor. Additionally, contracting for a single smart shuttle significantly limited the Town’s bargaining options due to the relatively low level of service when compared to most public transportation contracts.
