1 POTOMAC AND RAPPAHANNOCK TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION PROPOSED FY 2012 PRTC BUDGET & SIX YEAR PLAN Presentation to Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission January 13, 2011

2 Presentation Overview Background Observations Accomplishments to-date FY 2012 budget In summary In detail FY 2012 FY 2017 six year plan two options With a Prince William general fund supplement Without a Prince William general fund supplement Prospects for federal / state relief 2

3 Background Observations -- Introduction FY 2012 budget inaugurates the practice of preparing a budget in tandem with transit development plan (TDP) TDP is state mandate to delineate operating and capital needs over six-year period Provides VDRPT an explicit it picture of state t assistance needs based on aspirational and fiscally constrained scenarios TDP will be presented to the PRTC Board for adoption in March, shaped by tonight s action on the FY 2012 budget 3

4 Background Observations Introduction (Continued) Two FY 2012 / six year plan budget proposals being presented One with a proposed Prince William County general fund supplement in the out-years The other without t such a supplement Differences in two proposals confined to out-years (FY 2012 budget is identical in both) Magnitude of general fund supplement request has been reduced significantly 4

5 Chronology of General Fund Supplement Request Genesis -- Prince William s combined subsidy for PRTC and VRE exceeds County s current motor fuels tax yield In FY 2011, combined subsidy is $15 million while fuels tax yield is $12 million Increased federal / state assistance would ease this but, in the interim, prior year fuel tax surplus being used to sustain services This time last year, PRTC management projected that Prince William s prior year surplus would be depleted by FY 2014, creating cumulative deficits of $4 million in FY 2014 $6 million in FY 2015 Can be read to mean a sum of $6 million of Prince William general funds was projected to be needed d between FY 2012 & FY 2015 to sustain County-sponsored bus and rail services ($1.5 million/year) 5

6 Chronology of General Fund Supplement Request (Continued) PRTC management highlighted the same issue in a budget preview presentation at the PRTC December 2010 meeting Advised Board that two alternative FY 2012 budgets would be presented one with and one without a general fund supplement Indicated that magnitude of the prospective supplement would be resized / lowered as part of the FY 2012 budget preparation Re-sizing of prospective supplement completed, and it is substantially less than last year s projection because Ridership / passenger revenue tracking much better than budget One-time discretionary grant award (TIGER; $10 million) has lessened dependency on local funds State capital participation rates better than assumed last year (80% for rolling stock rather than 50%) Substantial carry-forward ($3.3 million) now confirmed as FY 2012 source VRE subsidy in out-years less than last year s projections 6

7 Accomplishments To-Date Service and Usage Ridership level sustained 4,500,000 despite lingering recession and drop in fuel 4,000,000 Annual PRTC Bus and VRE Ridership prices 3,500,000 3,000,000 Overcrowding conditions 2,500,000 on OmniRide eased but not eliminated resource 2,000,000 constraints 1,500,000 OmniLink on-time performance and call volume challenges being addressed by Board adopted remedial action plan 1,000, ,000 0 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 OmniRide OmniLink PRTC Bus VRE 7

8 Accomplishments To-Date Asset Management Bus fleet is well maintained and in excellent shape Mid-life overhauls progressing as scheduled Buses continue to be replaced generally as they reach PRTCdefined retirement age Longer than federal standard for commuter buses New commuter park-rideride lot completed Whole bus fleet now camera-equipped Transit Center enhancements progressing as planned New building security system procurement completed Emergency exit plans progressing Existing bus maintenance facility at practical capacity Environmental / design work on second bus maintenance facility to begin shortly 8

9 Accomplishments To-Date Customer Service Initiatives Completed Interactive voice response phone system enhancements Rider Express instant messaging enhancements Progressing as scheduled CAD/AVL system procurement New itinerary builder imminent; partnership with Google Bus shelter program 9

10 FY 2012 Budget Overview No new service or fare increase $230/month commuter benefit extended to end of calendar year 2011, meaning that benefit could revert to $120/month halfway into FY 2012 Minimal revenue hour allowance for schedule adjustments to compensate for increasing running times Capital investments in FY 2012 confined to: Safety sensitive improvements (e.g., replacement of retirement-age buses in active fleet; bus overhauls) CAD/AVL-related options * Reserve amounting to 2% for minimal COLA / merit adjustment last one was in FY 2009 * Base portion of the CAD/AVL is TIGER funded in FY

15 FY 2012 FY 2017 Six Year Plan -- Overview Two options one with Prince William general fund supplement and one without t Differences are confined to FY 2013 FY 2017 Guided by the principle that service cuts are more of a hardship for riders and should be averted if possible No new or expanded services * Two options differ in two respects Magnitude of fare increases Age of OmniRide buses when they are retired * While there are no new or expanded services envisioned in the six year plan, one existing service OmniRide service to Tyson s seemingly requires bridge funding by PRTC tosustain ti it until the I 95 HOT lanes project and itspledged ld drevenue materializes. As the Commission i knows, the I 95 HOT lanes project has been delayed and consequently state funding to sustain the Tyson s service once the Beltway mitigation funding ceases will not be instantaneously forthcoming. Also, the Board s adopted plan for reconstituting Linton Hall service requires a nominal local expenditure beginning infy 2013 (i.e., $27K) 15

16 FY 2012 FY 2017 Six Year Plan Differences* * With Prince William general fund supplement A sum of $1.9 million spread over the FY 2013 FY 2017 period Fare increases amount to (on average) 8% in FY % in FY % in FY year life for OmniRide buses Without general fund supplement Fare increases amount to (on average) 10% in FY % in FY % in FY year life for OmniRide buses * Both six year plans sustain existing services, exclude new or expanded services,and nearly deplete PrinceWilliamCounty s fuel tax fund balance by end of six year period absent additional federal and/or state help 16
