Torrance City Council will consider a separate transportation agreement this week worth more than $2.26 million over three years.

The Transit Director is recommending that the City award a contract to Administrative Services Cooperative, Inc. of Torrance to operate the Torrance Community Transit Program, commonly abbreviated TCTP.

The proposed agreement is valued at approximately $753,426.75 annually, with a total not-to-exceed amount of about $2.26 million.

The contract period runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2029.

Importantly, the agenda identifies the expense as non-General Fund, meaning it is not proposed to be paid from the City’s primary General Fund operating revenues.

Community transit programs can fill transportation gaps that traditional fixed-route bus service cannot always address, particularly for residents who require more specialized transportation options.

The contract resulted from the City’s procurement process identified as RFP B2026-10.

Like the larger transit-funding claim also appearing on Tuesday’s agenda, this item sits on the Consent Calendar and could be approved without extended discussion unless a Councilmember requests separate consideration.

It is another reminder that some of City Hall’s largest dollar decisions are often buried among the least dramatic-looking agenda items.
