C. The City further commits to maintaining the expanded shuttle service after the funding

June 16, 2026 City Council Regular Session · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora is reviewing the continued operation of an expanded shuttle service, known as Freebee, within the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundary. This service uses electric vehicles to help residents, visitors, and employees move between parking areas and downtown destinations. The service currently operates Friday through Sunday, 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with two vehicles, one of which is wheelchair accessible. The City Council will receive an update on the shuttle's performance, ridership, and community benefits. If performance metrics support continuation, the City commits to maintaining the expanded service beyond the current funding period, which ends September 30, 2027. This review process could lead to ongoing operational needs for shuttle maintenance, charging infrastructure, and related services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage with the City early to understand potential future needs as the service's long-term viability is assessed.
