Staff Report: Our Climate Future Goals and Renewable Electricity Progress The purpose of this item is to update Council on Our Climate Future Goals and Renewable Electricity Progress. 2. Our Climate Future Strategic Funding Plan – Phase I The purpose of this item is to present Phase I of the Our Climate Future (OCF) Strategic Funding Plan, which maps out how the City can strategically allocate climate-related revenue streams – including the 2050 Tax (climate portion), single-use bag fee remittances, and Utilities Electric Rate- Payer Funding– over a 15-year horizon to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The full Plan will be completed in Q1 2026 after incorporating Council feedback and will prioritize investments within the 13 OCF Big Moves focused on strategic impact, people-centered solutions, and alignment with Council Priorities. 3. Transfort Optimization Plan The purpose of this item is to present the Transfort Optimization Plan, fiscally constrained, short - range service plan that aligns Fort Collins’ transit network with current financial realities, community needs, and long-term sustainability goals, with a focus towards increasing ridership and better serving transit-reliant populations and high-travel corridors. Developed through extensive public engagement, data analysis, and national best practices, the plan prioritizes frequency, reliability, and equitable access while maintaining a fare-free system. The recommended scenario establishes a streamlined, grid-based network that strengthens high-demand corridors, improves connectivity to key destinations, and operates within available resources. It also updates Dial-A- Ride and Dial-A-Taxi services to maintain flexibility while meeting ADA requirements and introduces a new safety and security partnership with Police Services. Together, these efforts position Transfort to deliver a more efficient, sustainable, and community-focused transit system that remains adaptable to future funding and evolving needs.
