4. Next Steps: Where should we go from here? <br /> The following sections describe the actions to be brought forward to the governing bodies that support the <br /> seven ORCA Agencies. <br /> 4.1. Regional Fare Forum Alignment <br /> All ORCA Agencies will be taking the Regional Fare Forum Summary Report document to their governing <br /> bodies in the second quarter of 2017 for adoption in acknowledgement of the work achieved by the Forum. <br /> 4.2. Zone Fare Structure Changes <br /> Community Transit, King County Metro,and Sound Transit will commit to work with their governing bodies, <br /> conducting any additional analysis and outreach,to take a formal action to their boards/councils for <br /> eliminating zone fares, working towards a decision by the end of 2017. If the elimination of zone fares is <br /> approved by the agencies' governing bodies,the actual timeline for implementation will be as directed by <br /> the boards and council. <br /> 4.3. Peak Fare Structure Changes <br /> King County Metro will commit to work with their council, conducting any additional analysis and outreach, <br /> to take a formal action to their council for elimination of trip-based peak fares, working towards a decision <br /> by the end of 2017. If a change to peak fares is approved by the King County Council,the actual timeline for <br /> implementation will be as directed by the council. <br /> 4.4. Fare Capping Innovation <br /> No action is required by the ORCA Agency governing bodies at this time, aside from acknowledgement of <br /> the Forum consensus recommendation on fare capping through the adoption of the Regional Fare Forum <br /> Summary Report. <br /> 4.5. Further Fare Simplifications <br /> Building off shared policy values, Forum Representatives expressed a strong interest in continuing to work <br /> on fare simplification for the region. While no further actions are required by the boards/councils at this <br /> time,the ORCA Joint Board Chair will take a discussion to the Transit Executive Committee and ORCA Joint <br /> Board to determine their support of continuing a regional fare coordination effort. <br /> Regional Fare Forum Summary Report 3/21/2017 Page 1 6 <br />
