RIDESHARE: On Wed, June 24, a seven member Task Force selected by Village Manager, Ron Saunders, will be having a public workshop to discuss components of a two-year contract with Freebee so the Village can continue providing Rideshare services in Islamorada.

During the Village Council selection process, ideas were discussed to make the service for both taxpayers and the riders even better.  Essential components of the proposed contract will be discussed by the committee at the workshop. The public is encouraged to attend and bring ideas.  

The proposed contract price from Freebee’s proposal to the Village was $665,000 with credits back to the Village for 100% of a new $2 ride fee and a guaranteed $60,000 advertising credit.  

The Village anticipates 50% of the net cost will be covered by a grant from FDOT.  The second year’s grant funding is uncertain.

Members of the Task Force: Alina Davis, Jamie Engel, Jonathon Lindback, Sue Miller, Kelly Reid, Rob Stober, Joe Wischmeier
