The extension protects rider affordability while committing the system to costs that cannot be easily unwound.
Frozen prices and equity discounts protect access, while fleet and dock commitments protect network availability.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Council keeps asking what riders get for the subsidy, and I need an answer that still holds next winter.”

Oversees the city partnership and must explain whether the shared mobility system remains affordable and available across required service areas.
What is at stake
The extension freezes annual membership at $143 while adding discounts, stations, and fleet commitments. You must weigh affordable access against a plan that remains financially supportable after approval.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- affordable fares vs. sustainable operating cash flow
- fleet expansion vs. constrained capital deployment
- public commitments vs. uncertain subsidy timing
- commercial clarity vs. financial downside evidence
Why Lyft
Divvy commitments combine station-based operations, e-assist capital, and public affordability terms in one long-lived operating plan.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
