SENIOR CITIZEN TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT
This agreement is made between the Town of Los Gatos (Town),
a California general law city, and Alpha Cab, a California
corporation (Company). The purpose of this agreement is to provide
for a special program (the program) to provide for the transportation
needs of older and disabled persons in Los Gatos.
The parties agree:
1. During the term of this agreement, Company will provide
local trip taxi transportation for identified participants at a flat
rate to be paid by the Town.
2. Term of Agreement. The term of this agreement is from
October 3, 1978 through October 31, 1979, provided, however, that
this agreement may be terminated sooner, on thirty (30) days'
written notice, given by either party to the other.
3. Local Trip. A local trip is a trip that begins and ends
in the area composed of the Town, unincorporated territory of the
County of Santa Clara surrounded or virtually surrounded by the Town,
and the territory within two - tenths of a mile of the Town limits.
4. Identified Participants. An identified participant is a
person who, before the beginning of a trip, shows to the driver of
one of Company's taxicabs an identification card issued by the Town
showing that he or she is qualified to be a passenger at the rate
specified in this agreement and presents to the driver a ticket
issued by the Town for use in the program.
in the program, but this agreement is not intended to regulate that
price, and the Town may charge any price it wishes, or no price at all,
for the tickets. There is no limit on the number of tickets to be
provided by the Town. However, the Town shall only provide tickets
to persons who have an identification card.
9. Issuance of Identification Cards. The Town will take reason-
able precautions to assure that it issues identification cards only
to residents of Los Gatos who are at least 62 years old or who are
disabled.
10. Sharing Rides. Company may, when it can do so without undue
delay or inconvenience to any of its passengers, transport a participant
in the program at the same time as one or more other passengers (who
may or may not be participants) and collect a ticket from each
participant and fare, on the regular basis, from the nonparticipant
passenger or passengers. This Part 10 does not modify the rules of
Town Code section 29 -6 requiring that the consent of passengers who
are not participants in the program be obtained before additional
passengers are accepted, and concerning charges for more than one
nonparticipant passenger. Further, where there are more than one
participant who share a taxicab from a single place of origin to a
single destination, Company may collect only one ticket from the
participants.
11. Equal Service. Except as provided in Part 10, Company will
provide participants with service of equal quality to that it provides
its other customers.
