FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 amounts to $85,858,000. This amount includes $41,398,000 from Special Appropriations General Fund, $29,985,000 in Federal Funds, $8,719,000 in Revenue from Internal Sources and $5,756,000 from Other income.
Operational expenses reflect a decrease of $3,680,000 when compared to funds assigned in fiscal year 2011-2012 due to the implementation of an early retirement incentive program and a loss in non-recurring ARRA funds.
Resources from the Special Appropriations General Fund will be used for operational expenses and to continue offering a reliable, safe and modern transportation system. Combined with federal matching contributions, it will also be used for mechanics and other personnel payroll; and for materials, deliveries and parts.
Revenues from Internal Sources are generated from transportation fees and will be used for payroll, operational expenses, rent and utilities and professional services.
Other Income, per the Diesel Oil and Gas Oil Tariff Act, which grants the agency the ability to receive of 4 cents per gallon on the fuel tax, will be used for operational and expenses related to the operations and maintenance of the fleet.
Contributing federal programs include: Federal Transit Capital Investment Fund and the Federal Transit Formula Grant (Urbanized Area Programs). An increase of $5,371,000 is expected in Federal Grants to continue capital improvement works, acquire new buses and for the Mid-Life Overhaul project to repair 20 buses.
