RESOLUTION
OF THE
LARIMER-WELD REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
GOVERNING BOARD
WHEREAS, there are two private for-profit corporations,
four local governments and numerous non-profit agencies
operating high occupancy (buses, vans and stationwagons)
transportation systems in the Larimer-Weld region;
WHEREAS, there have been expressions from citizens,
representatives of human resource agencies and local govern-
ment officials that inter-city, intra-city and specialized
transportation systems in the region should be improved;
WHEREAS, in order to determine the need and cost effec-
tiveness of improving the existing systems, a study of the
following, but not necessarily limited thereto, should be
undertaken forthwith by the Larimer-Weld Regional Council of
Governments:
(1) The need for the expansion and improvement of
limited but existing public and "non-profit" private
transportation systems which now serve the elderly,
handicapped and disadvantaged, to determine whether the
same type of transportation services should be made
available to a widely dispersed and highly rural popu-
lation existing in Larimer and Weld Counties;
(2) The feasibility of pooling present transpor-
tation system resources (personnel, vehicles and finan-
cial support) to determine if such pooling should take
place as a municipal, a defined urban area, a defined
rural area, a defined urban-rural area, county-wide or
regional system;
(3) The advantages and disadvantages of public
and private non-profit agencies rendering transporta-
tion services , especially as they relate to certain
segments of the population (the elderly, the handi-
capped, and the disadvantaged;
(4) A determination of which systems may be
under-utilized because of their limited service area
and/or specialized clientele nature;
(5) A determination of whether there is a need
for expanded and improved transportation services to
aid social delivery systems in servicing clients;
(6) An inventory of the school bus systems to
determine whether these buses can be utilized to meet
certain transportation needs, especially for the
elderly, the handicapped, and the disadvantaged;
(7) An examination of municipal bus systems to
determine whether they can and/or should provide an
expanded and improved service to citizens living in the
unincorporated areas surrounding the respective munic-
ipalities offering such services.
WHEREAS, in order to make this study of the high-
occupancy transportation systems operating in the Larimer-
Weld region meaningful, it will be necessary for each local
-2-
government and non-profit agency providing a transportation
service to cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the
Larimer-Weld Regional Council of Governments;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, the Larimer-Weld
Regional Council of Governments Governing Board adopts this
resolution and directs its transmittal to each local govern-
ment and non-profit agency operating a transportation system
for their adoption and agreement within one month from the
date of this resolution and with the following conditions:
(1) Local governments and agencies will cooperate
with the staff of the Larimer-Weld Regional Council of
Governments by providing financial and operating records,
as they pertain to the transportation service;
(2) Each general purpose government allocating
monies to a non-profit agency rendering transportation
services shall, as a stipulation prior to the alloca-
tion of said money, require that agency to permit the
Larimer-Weld Regional Council of Governments to study
financial and operating records as they pertain to the
transportation service;
(3) Each local government and non-profit agency
adopting this resolution agrees to participate to the
fullest extent possible with the special transportation
committee that will be established by the Larimer-Weld
Regional Council of Governments to oversee the study;
(4) Each local government and non-profit agency
participating in this planning study agrees to make
-3-
public the progress of the study and its results among
its clients and citizens;
(5) Each local government and non-profit agency
involved in this study (with the exception of school
systems) agrees to limit expansion of its existing
transportation system until the results of this study
are completed;
(6) This study shall be completed by no later
than six months from the date that this resolution is
adopted by participating local governments and agencies.
THIS RESOLUTION, upon motion, was duly passed this 2nd
