(District 3)
Motion carries. Excited Report from Economic and property development. Recommendation to execute a First Amendment to agreement with Long Beach Transit. To extend the agreement for six months to provide sufficient time to optimize the Belmont Shore Employee Rider Pass Program City District three. There's a motion and a second. Councilman Price, did you have any comments or. I do. Thank you. The Belmont Shore Employee Rider Pass program is a very successful program that was started in March of 2013 and modeled after the Cal State Long Beach program, which provides free transit to All Long Beach State. I'm sorry, all Long Beach Transit busses to eligible students, faculty and staff at Long Beach State with the Belmont Shore Employee Rider Pass program, employers in Belmont Shore provide a free bus pass to all employees in order to encourage transit ridership. Currently, we have over 500 Belmont Shore employees taking advantage of this program, which reduces pollution and most importantly, given the area helps ease the parking challenges we face in the shore. I appreciate staff extending this program for an additional six months as we work out a long term agreement with Long Beach Transit to continue providing bus service for our Belmont Shore employees. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any public comment on this item? Please cast your vote. Motion carries.
