City Council Meeting February 25, 1997 Santa Monica, California
RESOLUTION NO.
9128
(CCS)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA MONICA REPEALING RESOLUTION NUMBER 824l (CCS)
PERTAINING TO FARES ON THE SANTA MONICA MUNICIPAL
BUS LINES AND ESTABLISHING A NEW FARE STRUCTURE
WHEREAS, the City Council previously established the passenger
fare structure of the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines in
Resolution Number 824l (CCS) adopted on June 11, 1991; and
WHEREAS, the City Council seeks to modify the passenger fare
structure established by Resolution Number 824l (CCS) to implement
fares for the Tide Shuttle Service and paratransit Service and to
modify the fare for the Municipal Bus Lines to eliminate the former
fare exemption for legally blind individuals pursuant to a
determination by the Federal Transportation Agency; and
WHEREAS, the city Council has held a public hearing after the
publication of adequate notice and has considered comments
expressed by the public; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the fare proceeds will be
used for one or more of the purposes detailed in Public Resources
Code Section 21080 and therefore the new fare structure is not
subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA

years of age or older and who display identification issued by a
public agency representing age, a senior card issued by the
Transportation Department or other identification establishing age
as mandated by state or federal law.
SECTION 6. The Qualifying Disabled Individuals referred
to in section 2 of this Resolution are those individuals who are
defined as "Qualified Individuals with Disabilities. under the
Americans with Disabilities Act, and who can display one of the
following: (1) a disability card issued by the City of Santa Monica
Transportation Department; (2) other disability identification
recognized by the Transportation Department; (3) a white cane; (4)
a guide dog for the visually disabled; (5) an identification card

SECTION 7. Transfers shall be issued between the various
lines of the Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines at no additional

direction.
SECTION 8. The establishment of the fare structure set
forth in this Resolution is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 pursuant to Public Resources Code
Section 21080 (b) (8). The City Council finds that the fare
structure is for the purpose of meeting operating expenses,
including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, purchasing or
leasing supplies, equipment or materials, and obtaining funds for
capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing
service areas. The facts underlying these findings are contained
in the Staff Report entitled "Public hearing on fare adjustment for
Municipal Bus Lines," dated February 25, 1997, which is
incorporated by reference into this Resolution.
SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this Resolution, and the same shall become effective on April 6,
1997, and thenceforth and thereafter the same shall be in full
force and effect.
