4.	PRESTO IMPLEMENTATION UPDATE
	CITY WIDE 

Whereas OC Transpo and its partner Metrolinx cannot provide the certainty of Presto convenience to ECOPASS users for the near future; and

Whereas it is not in the best interest of ECOPASS holders or OC Transpo to cancel the ECOPASS program until Presto is fully in place; and

Whereas agreements with these employers are near their term and employers of ECOPASS holders require certainty for plan administration;

Therefore be it resolved that the Transit Commission recommends that City Council authorize OC Transpo to extend individual employer ECOPASS agreements for one year and that the ECOPASS fare remains at the 2011- 2012 level, plus a 2.5% general fare increase, which is $84.56 per month for regular ECOPASS and $104.55 per month for express ECOPASS, and that efforts be made to re-enroll those ECOPASS customers who have already cancelled if they request it.
