15. Proposed Budget 2014 Operating Budget -- $66,004,852 • Financial planning based on revenue and expense forecasting • Presenting a balanced budget without use of local cumulative fund • No plans for major service changes or fare increases • Operating efficiently by reducing overtime, lowering health care costs, addressing bus replacement and leveraging grants • Still face replacement challenges by supplementing operating budget with federal dollars

17. Operating Assumptions Revenue assumptions • Local funds calculated factoring in $4.5M less revenue due to property tax caps • Approx. $185,000 increase in state funds • Approx. $1.6M increase in federal funds (MAP-21) • Projecting 13% more income in fare revenue in line with expanding ridership and service levels
