Summary:
In 1997, the City of Orlando and the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority ("LYNX") entered into an Operations Agreement which provided for the operation, funding and maintentance of the existing LYMMO system (Orange Line).
In 2009, City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement between the City, LYNX and the CRA to develop a Downtown Orlando Transit Circulator Expansion Alternatives Analysis (AA) Study and funding for the AA Study. This study resulted in the design and construction of the East/West BRT and Parramore BRT in 2010. The Interlocal Agreement was amended in 2012 to include additional funding sources and the local match. The East/West BRT (Grapefruit Line) is expected to start operations in mid-April 2014, while the Parramore BRT (Lime Line) is expected to start partial operations in Sepctember 2014.
The proposed Amended and Restated LYMMO Operations Agreement sets forth terms and conditions for the operations, funding, and maintenance of the complete LYMMO system (including Original LYMMO, East/West BRT, and Parramore BRT) between LYNX, the City of Orlando, and the Community Redevelopment Agency.
On February 26, 2014, the CRA Advisory Board recommended that the CRA approve the Amended and Restated Operations Agreement.
