Although the Rip and Common Council only approves the shared ride taxi service procurement every five years, it's something the council discusses every year.
Bob Nelson has more for Civic Media News.
Recently, the council approved the RFP for the procurement, setting the total number of driver hours at a maximum of 9,500.
That's down quite a bit from their current contract with Brown Cab.
City Administrator Adam Sontok says the city is paying about $32.97 per hour of operation for the service, but other cities, comparable in size to Ripon, are being charged much more through the new
They're
seeing tax rates from vendors be north of 40 plus, you know, 40, 45 dollars an hour, which is a significant increase in costs for the city.
He says federal and state grants used to pay 70% of the costs for taxi services, but that's down to about 55%.
And with levy limits, cities have to find other ways to reduce costs.

The Rippin Common Council voted on a proposed pilot program that would have paid additional incentives to people who selected Rippin when they applied for the Make My Move program.
The Envision Greater Fond du Lac program is trying to attract 32 workers from outside of the state to Fond du Lac County with incentives of up to $9,500 including $5,504 relocation expenses.
The Rippin pilot program would have added $1,000 per dependent child
enrolled in 4K through 12th grade in the Rippon area school district with a maximum of $2,000 per household.
The council voted on the proposed pilot program 4-3.
Council member David Gallops didn't like the idea of having to pay someone to choose Rippon.
The vote came after Envision Greater Fond du Lacte in their annual presentation to the Common Council, which included information on the Make My Move program.
