Under RCW § 35.58.2795, Yakima is required to prepare a six -year transit development plan and annual report and submit it to WSDOT. WSDOT uses this document to prepare an annual report for the Washington State Legislature summarizing the status of State public transportation systems. The document is also used to notify the public about completed, current, or planned projects. In order for this document to be effective, the Yakima City Council must approve the document following a public hearing. SECTION I: ORGANIZATION History In 1907, the City of Yakima's public transportation originated with a steel -rail streetcar system. The Yakima Valley Transportation Company (YVT) operated the first transit service. Motorized buses were introduced in 1924 as a supplement to the rail streetcar routes. The City's all- electric streetcars were discontinued in 1947 when the services offered switched to an all -motor bus system. In 1957, a private provider began operating the bus system. The private provider discontinued service in 1966 and for four months no public transportation services were operated in the City of Yakima. In the fall of 1966, Yakima citizens voted to approve the State's first household tax to financially support a public transit system and public transit services were re- established under contract with a private provider. In October 1970, the City purchased the assets of the financially - troubled private provider and continued transit services as a City -owned and operated public transit system. In November 1980, Yakima citizens approved a 0.3% transit sales tax that replaced the City's household tax as the transit system's method of financial support. Currently, the Federal Transit Administration classifies Yakima Transit as a small urbanized transit system serving a population between 50,000 and 200,000 people. Yakima Transit's services include fixed - route, paratransit (Dial -A- Ride), vanpool, and participation in a commuter service between Yakima and Ellensburg. Dial -A -Ride services were added in 1992 as a result of changes to the American's with Disabilities Act. Vanpool was established in 1998 in order to provide transportation services to workers who travel outside the area to locations like Hanford. The Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter started at the end of November 2011, to provide transportation services for faculty, staff, and students traveling to either the Yakima Valley Community College or Central Washington University. Those schools account for approximately 70% of Commuter ridership. In June 2014, Yakima Transit took the main partnership role in making sure the program is operated to meet partnership and community needs. Organizational Structure The Yakima City Council is ultimately responsible for Yakima Transit's operations. Several management layers help control Transit activities & programs including the City Manager, Public Works Director, and Transit Manager. The City Manager and Public Works Director report back to City Council on Transit activities and address Transit policies and finances. The Transit Manager oversees the daily operational activities of the Transit System, which is overseen by the Public Works Director and City Manager. ., 3 ' ; Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 As of December 31, 2015, Yakima Transit directly employed 60 employees in administration, fixed route, paratransit, and vanpool services. Transit staff positions are generally frontline positions.

In 2016, Yakima Transit has replaced the Marketing and Program Administrator with a Community Program Coordinator and will be replacing a Department II position with a Transit Office Assistant. No other changes are planned for 2016. Yakima Transit pays for various administrative services through the City of Yakima including legal, human resources, maintenance, purchasing, information technology, and financial services. Yakima Transit also contracts with private organizations for paratransit & commuter services. Medstar, LLC, operates the Dial -A -Ride service and in 2015 employed 43 employees consisting of an office manager, dispatchers, schedulers, drivers, vehicle cleaners, and mechanics. In 2015, Central Washington Airporter operated the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter, employing up to six drivers, a supervisor, and a maintenance person. 4 t Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 Citizens can address their Transit concerns directly to the City Council Members during any regularly scheduled Council meeting. The City Council also solicits public comments on transit specific issues during the review and adoption of the City's annual budget and Transit Development Plan. All City Council meetings and budget review meetings are broadcast live on local television and taped for rebroadcast again later on at various intervals for those unable to attend the actual session. Yakima's Public Access Channel broadcasts are available online. A citizen's advisory group meets quarterly and consists of members of the community with an interest in Transit, as well as individuals who use Transit on a daily basis. The group is updated on Yakima Transit's projects and goals. They are asked to provide input on proposed projects, give public and system user comments on service they would like to see in the system, and comment on future service Yakima Transit could provide. Community participation helps Yakima Transit address passenger concerns. SECTION 11: PHYSICAL PLANT LOCATIONS Yakima Transit's administrative and operations offices are located at 2301 Fruitvale Boulevard. Yakima Transit's Human Resources, Legal, & Finance services are provided by the City of Yakima either at the Public Works Facility, City Hall, or Legal Center. Yakima Transit has a Transit Center in the Downtown Yakima core at 4th Street and Walnut. Yakima Transit provides three park and ride lots throughout Yakima at the following locations: Yakima Public Works Facility at 2301 Fruitvale Blvd; Chesterly Park at 40th Avenue and Powerhouse Road; and, the City of Yakima Information Center at Fair Avenue and Lincoln. SECTION III: TRANSPORTATION SERVICE Services During 2015, Yakima Transit served the cities of Yakima and Selah with fixed - route, paratransit, vanpool services, and to Ellensburg with the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter. (Maps at Appx E, F, & G) Yakima Transit also promotes sidewalks, pathways, and bicycle routes. Yakima Transit provides connections to rail, air, and other fixed -route services: Union Gap Transit and the Community Connector (Lower Valley service). Fixed Route Transit Routes During 2015, Yakima Transit operated fixed -route bus service along 1 Summitview /Lincoln nine different routes that operate between the hours of 6:OOam 2/2X Tieton /Nob Hill and 7:OOpm within the cities of Yakima and Selah: 3 Mead /Fnaitvale 4 Fruitvale /Mead • 9 routes Monday - Friday (6:OOam - 7:OOpm); 5 /5X Nob Hill /Tieton • 9 routes on Saturdays (8:45am - 6:OOpm); and, 6/6X Fair Ave /N. 1st Street • 6 routes on Sundays (8:OOam- 4:OOpm). 7/7X 40th Ave /Washington 9/9X Washington /40th Ave Weekday routes are operated on an hour & half -hour basis on most 10/10X Selah/N. 1st Street routes. Saturday & Sunday routes are operated on an hourly basis. 11 Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter Yakima Transit's system map, as illustrated in the Appdx E, depicts the 2015 fixed routes. Over the next six years, some routes may be cut, modified, or discontinued to maintain or expand more efficient routes. ., 0 5 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 In November 2012, Yakima Transit realized that as a result of service expansions and other oversights, spending on transit services were higher than transit revenues. Changes were implemented in March 2013 to focus on funding that was not available for vehicle and other essential capital procurements. As a result of service cuts and fare increases, Yakima Transit replaced three buses in 2014, three more buses March 2016, and four more are anticipated to arrive sometime March 2017 with the help of $2.4M in state and federal grants. The bus purchases put Yakima Transit back on a regular vehicle replacement schedule. The next bus purchase is anticipated in 2021 and will consist of electric buses meeting the State of Washington's alternative fuels regulations, if this is the most feasible option. In June 2016, Yakima Transit reestablished mid -day service on two routes (Routes 6 & 9), equivalent to six service hours per weekday. Service is anticipated to be reestablished on Route 7 starting in 2017, three hours per weekday. Expansion routes outside of Yakima Transit's jurisdiction require service demand and funding support from either the State, Federal, or local jurisdictions (other than the City of Yakima). Other than the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter and contracted service into Selah, no other service extensions are planned for Yakima Transit outside their jurisdiction. Paratransit (Dial A Ride) In 2015, Yakima Transit provided paratransit services in the cities of Yakima & Selah. Dial -A -Ride services were available during the same operating schedule as fixed -route service. Under contract with Medstar, LLC, complementary paratransit services were available to residents, who qualify for service under the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Paratransit services are provided, door -to- door, to eligible clients and serves the areas within the city limits of Yakima and Selah and some trips into the city of Union Gap. Over the next six years, Yakima Transit does not anticipate any changes to the paratransit program, except as it relates to any expansion of the fixed -route program and replacing vehicles. Vanpool Yakima Transit operates vanpool services for residents of Yakima. Vanpool services are provided on a cost recovery basis; costs are covered by the users. Yakima Transit's vanpool program is still experiencing a slump in vanpool starts. There are currently 14 vans in operation, five vans less than at the end of 2014. When the economy recovers or if gas prices increase, Yakima Transit's vanpool services are anticipated to be used more. In the near future, Yakima Transit does not anticipate a large increase in vanpool users. Yakima Transit anticipates a 20% growth per year over the next six years. The Vanpool program is still affected by the 2013 vanpool rate increase and lower fuel costs. As part of the services provided through the vanpool program, Yakima Transit offers each vanpool commuter a guaranteed ride home, in the event they are sick, the vehicle breaks down, or other issues come up. The guaranteed ride home service may be used by an individual user up to four times per year. Park & Ride Lots Yakima Transit provides service to four park & ride lots: Chesterly Park at North 40th Ave and River Road, Gateway Center along Fair Avenue at 1 -82, and the Public Works Facility at N. 23rd Avenue and Fruitvale Boulevard. The Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter utilizes the Firing Center Park & Ride Lot ( Selah) and the Park & Ride lot located next to the Selah Civic Center in downtown Selah. 0 6 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 School Service Yakima Transit provides weekday non - exclusive transportation service to elementary, middle, and high schools. The school districts do not provide transportation services for students who live within a mile of the school; however, the school district purchases youth passes for the students to use. In 2015, school district passes account for 14% of fixed -route fares (total youth fares accounted for 19 %). School district passes are not discounted. These routes run along the same route as normal routes and are generally full with more than 50 -70 students boarding either before or after school. The school runs have the highest ridership per hour of all fixed -route runs and were initially setup because regular route buses were overcrowded making it difficult for other passengers to use the service either before or after school hours. Multimodal Connections Yakima Transit provides service to the following public transportation facilities /connections: • Greyhound Bus Terminal (Fruitvale & 18th Avenue) • Lower /Upper Valley Community Connector (Yakima Transit Center) • Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter (Yakima Air Terminal, YVCC, and Yakima Transit Center) • Union Gap Transit & Yakima Airport (Routes 7 & 9) Fare Structure Single- ticket fares & monthly fares last increased March 2013. Fares are as follows: How much does it cost to ride the bus? One -way fare Monthly Passes Adults (age 18 and over) $1.00 $25.00 Youths (age 6- 17) 75¢ $18.00 Reduced Fare (Persons 62/over,, people with disabilities and 50¢ $9.00 Medicare Card holders. Reduced Fare ID card with photo required for reduced fare.) Yakima - Ellensurg Commuter $5.00 $150.00 Pre - School (under 6, accompanied by adult) FREE Transfers (See Transfer policy, page 4) FREE Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter fares were increased on June 16, 2014. Yakima Transit contracted with the Central Washington Airporter (CWA) and increased commuter rates from $4 to $5 for single ticket and from $125 to $150 for the monthly passes. For fixed -route bus service, day passes are still being offered at three times the cost of a single fare, or twice the fare for passes obtained after 9:15am. Fixed -route transfers are available for "one free ride" on any bus, on any route, during one of three time periods each day. Morning transfer tickets are valid until 9:15am. Mid -day transfer tickets are honored from 8:45am to 3:15pm and afternoon /evening transfers are effective from 2:45pm until the close of service. The boarding time determines which transfer the passenger receives. Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter transfers to the fixed -route system are free with the purchase of a Commuter ticket. Fare -free service is only available on the Fourth of July for the fireworks shuttle service; and, for the Yakima County Fair Shuttle service that operates all day long for the length of the County Fair. 7 � Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 SECTION IV: SHORT & LONG -RANGE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OPERATING & CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Local Operating Projects 1. Offer regional transit service connections to Kittitas County (Ellensburg/CWU Campus). Yakima Transit continues to operate the Yakima - Ellensburg service under contract. The current funding cycle is from 7/1/15, to 6/30/17. Ridership has declined since the service has started, but so has the service going from 8 round trips to 7 round trips when school is in session and 6 round trips when school is not in session. In 2015, two of the Ellensburg stops were relocated to more efficiently provide service to Central Washington University and the City of Selah. On average, the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter provides more passenger trips than all four of the State operated lines combined (Apple, Grape, Gold, & Dungeness Lines) at less than 1/3 the miles travelled and at roughly 1/3 the cost. Although Yakima Transit would prefer for the State to pick up the full cost of the service, by participating in the service, Yakima Transit, Selah Transit, and Central Washington University are able to retain local control to ensure that passenger needs are meets. Grants are required to continue to keep the service operational, even with the farebox recovery averaging around 30% (2nd highest in the State, behind Pullman Transit). 2. Rebranding Logo. In an effort to freshen up Yakima Transit's look, Yakima Transit has redesigned their logo. The bus books and Yakima Transit's newer vehicles have the new logos. The older vehicles will be getting a makeover. The rebranding is anticipated to be competed in 2017. 3. Paratransit Passenger Counters. In 2017, Yakima Transit anticipates equipping the paratransit fleet with passenger counter tablets similar to the fixed -route system tablets. The change should make reporting to the Federal Transit Administration and the State of Washington a whole lot easier. 4. Security Cameras. Bus security cameras were upgraded in 2015, giving Yakima Transit the ability to have live video feed. In 2017, the Transit Center cameras are anticipated to be upgraded too. Local Capital Projects 1. Vehicle Replacement. a. Buses. No new buses were purchased in 2015. Three fixed -route buses were delivered in March 2016 and four new fixed -route buses are anticipated March 2017. All of Yakima Transit's fixed -route bus fleet are low -floor Gilligs. No more new buses are anticipated until 2021. b. Vanpool. Three Vanpool vehicles are arriving in 2016, replacing four 15- passenger vans. With the reduction in service, three more Vanpool vans will be taken out of service and not replaced. c. Commuter. Yakima Transit does not own the vehicles used in the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter. The vehicles are owned and operated by Yakima Transit's contractor. 0 8 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 d. Dial A Ride. In 2015, Yakima Transit bought one new paratransit Arboc bus. In 2016, Yakima Transit replaced several Dial -A -Ride vehicles - four minivans and three cutaways. These vehicles replaced older cutaways and minivans. Up to ten new vehicles are anticipated 2017- 2019. e. Administrative. It has been several years since Yakima Transit upgraded their administration vehicle fleet. Yakima Transit anticipates replacing three in 2017 and three more in 2018. 2. Build a new Westside transfer location in the annexed areas around 72nd Avenue. Yakima Transit anticipates building a new Transit Center in West Valley in 2019. The new transit center is anticipated to help Yakima Transit switch over to electric buses, if they are feasible. If feasible charging equipment would be included at this site to allow the electric buses to operate beyond the typical 10 -hour limit. At some point in the future, Yakima Transit anticipates all the buses will be electric. For capital replacement purposes, this has to be a gradual change 3 -5 buses every other year; otherwise, in 12 -14 years, Yakima Transit would be replacing the whole fleet all at once. 3. Continue to maintain /improve ADA amenities within the transit system. Yakima Transit continues its efforts to maintain and improve ADA access within the system. Yakima Transit plans to: • Purchase ADA accessible vehicles with ramps. • Work with the City Streets Department to identify and partially fund sidewalks installation throughout the Transit system to help individuals with mobility issues get to the bus stop. • Purchase and install more transit shelters that will accommodate wheelchairs at a rate of 10 passenger shelters per year. Currently, Yakima Transit has 32 passenger shelters in the fixed - route system that has more than 700 bus stops. Capital improvements over the next six years will depend on transit sales tax. If sales tax revenues decline, planned projects may be put on hold until revenue is available to do the project. Planned capital investments are listed in Appendix C. Major improvements planned include: vehicle replacement, fixed - route passenger shelters, bus stop improvements, and technology improvements. SECTION V: PROGRAM FUNDING FINANCIAL FORECAST Financial forecasting primarily pulls from past service levels, anticipated needs, and market trends. This analysis consists of Yakima Transit's projected revenue and expenses for maintaining efficient service levels, while still being able to maintain an active vehicle fleet. The long -term strategies adequately address capital vehicle replacement and operations.

Revenues The information contained in this section breaks down revenue streams and considers the outlook of those revenue sources. Total Revenue (thousands) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2020 Sales Tax $5,565 $5,470 $5,660 $5,600 $5,942 $6,036 $6,084 Grants (Operating) $2,381 $2,425 $2,425 $2A49 $2,474 $2,499 $2,524 Grants (Capital) $43 $854 $1,600 $501 $ $7,358 $8,000 Farebox Revenue $952 $1,002 $1,114 $1,137 $1,161 $1,181 $1,201 Contracted Service (Selah) $278 $263 $285 $288 $291 $294 $297 Other $263 $572 $115 $173 $174 $176 $178 Total Operating and Capital Revenue $9,483 $1(1586 $11,199 $1(1148 $10,042 $17,543 $18,283 Operating revenue consists mainly of local sales tax and grant funding. Revenue is also obtained from farebox, ticket, monthly passes, and reimbursement from other jurisdictions served. Farebox Revenues Ridership has declined for all modes of transportation as a result of: rate increases (2013), a reduction in fuel prices, reduction in service (2013), and lower fuel prices. Even with these changes, farebox revenues have increased since 2012. Yakima Transit charges a lower fares relative to similarly -sized transit agencies in Washington State. If Yakima Transit was charging the average state -wide rate it would be close to $1.27 per adult fare, $0.90 per youth, and $0.62 per ADA passenger.

Sales tax revenue accounts for approximately 55.0% of total transit revenue. Sales tax revenues typically remain relatively consistent year to year with a slight increase either up or down. Each one tenth of one percent equates to approximately $1.88M in revenue per year. Grant Funds Yakima Transit utilizes both federal and state grants, which account for approximately 29.2% of total revenue. State and Federal funding has remained at or near prior year levels. Federal formula allocations have continued to increase. 10 iry Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 - 2021 Operating grants consist of the annual operating grant (apportionment), operating grants for ADA paratransit services (apportionment), and the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter (discretionary). Grants include the following Projects: 2015 -2017 —5339 & Tier 1 Funding Bus Replacement (replace 7 buses) Cost: $3.05M Grant: $2.4M ($400K State & $400K Federal in 2016 - -- $1.6M in State funding for 2017) Status: Three of the seven buses arrived in March 2016. Four more are anticipated March 2017 2015 -2017 — Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter — Yakima Transit receives funding from the State of Washington Department of Transportation for commuter bus service between Yakima and Ellensburg. This grant is on a two -year cycle (July 2015 —June 2017 currently). Because it is a discretionary grant, the grant may not be awarded and the service would likely stop operating. The service is done in partnership with the City of Selah and Central Washington University. Without partnership support, Yakima Transit would not provide the service for the benefit of another agency. The grant covers about 40% of the service, local funds account for 30% of the cost, and the farebox revenue accounts for the remaining 30 %. Cost: $1.15M Grant: $4K Status: Currently being used. 2015 -2017 — Paratransit Special Needs Formula Grant Paratransit Special Needs Formula Funds (PTSNF) - Yakima Transit receives an apportionment (roughly $160K every two years) from the Washington State Department of Transportation for paratransit services. Yakima Transit spends roughly $1.687M every year on paratransit services. Cost: $3M Grant: $157K Status: Currently being used. 2016— 5307 Small Urban Operating Assistance Annual Grant - Yakima Transit receives FTA 5307 funding totaling approximately $2.42M annually. This grant is essential to maintain existing fixed -route bus services. Cost: $5.4M Grant: $2.42M Status: Currently being used. Farebox Revenue Farebox revenue is one of the smaller funding parts to operating public transportation. Farebox revenue consists of fixed - route, Dial -A -Ride, vanpool funds, and commuter funds. Passenger fares play an important role in funding transit services. A balance between the cost of the service and what a passenger is willing to pay must be maintained to ensure that users participate in the cost of providing 0 11 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 the service. If the cost of the fare is too high, individuals who could drive may opt for the convenience of driving. Fare Revenue (in thousands) 2014 2015 2016(E) 2017(E) Fixed -Route Farebox Revenue $711 $596 $642 $685 Paratransit Farebox Revenue $126 $118 $120 $140 Vanpool Farebox Revenue $238 $209 $154 $170 Commuter Farebox Revenue $59 $141 $86 $119 TOTAL Farebox Revenue $1,017 $952 $1,002 $1,114 For 2015, farebox revenue accounted for 10% of all revenue, down from 12.5% in 2014. The low return on farebox revenue is related to lower ridership. In 2015, Yakima Transit ridership declined for every mode of transportation. Yakima Transit believes the primary factor attributed for the reduction in trips is lower fuel prices. Lower fuel prices affect all modes. Operating Expenditures Yakima Transit's total operating expenses for 2015 were $7.9M, a $439K increase from 2014. Major operating expenses include fuel, labor, insurance, and other costs. Employee costs were the primary factor for the increase along with technology upgrades. For 2016, operating expense are anticipated to be slightly lower due to lower fuel and maintenance costs.

Fuel prices were relatively unpredictable in 2015, dropping below $2.00 per gallon February 2015 and again in February 2016. Fuel prices are anticipated to remain below $3.00 per gallon through 2016. 24 Month Average Retail Price Chart Regular Gas — Yakima Regular Gas Price (USS/G) Price (US S/G) — USA Average 3.91 3.91 3.69 3.69 3.47 3.47 3.24 3.24 3.02 3.02 2.80 2.80 2.58 2.58 2.36 2.36 2.13 J 2.13 1.91 I 1.91 1.69 1.69 m m ra c� a r.� m ao r..+ cn m m .� N 1 j O O N O `6' t 2 `1 `1 `&+ i1 O N C7.

These modes of transportation are addressed by their overall cost to the budget including operating and capital costs. Total Expenses (thousands) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Fixed -Route Buses $4,901 $4,629 $5,322 $5,470 $5,430 $5,555 $5,684 Vanpool $174 $279 $151 $281 $154 $286 $157 Yakima Ellensburg Commuter $489 $479 $462 $467 $471 $476 $481 Paratransit $1,050 $1,782 $1,517 $2,062 $1,547 $2,162 $1,578 Administrative $1,433 $1,500 $1,585 $1,590 $1,515 $1,530 $1,546 Capital Buses and Facilities $ $1,414 $1,680 $ $1,200 $8,500 $10,000 ,Total Operating and Capital Expenses $8,046 $10,083 $10,717 $9,869 $10,318 $18,510 $19,445 Fixed -Route Yakima Transit spends most of its funds on the fixed -route bus service. In years in which buses are not purchased, the largest part of the cost is wages and benefits, accounting for 70.35% of the total cost to provide the service. Maintenance (13.49 %) & fuel (8.44 %) make up the next two highest expenses, with the rest being insurance, supplies, and equipment upgrades. In the chart above, fixed -route costs fluctuate because of the vehicle replacement program. In May 2014 & March 2016, Yakima Transit purchased three new transit buses each period, as part of Transit's ongoing bus replacement plan. Four more new buses are on order and are anticipated to arrive March 2017. Dial -A -Ride Because Yakima Transit operates fixed -route bus service, it is required by federal law to operate complementary paratransit services (Dial -A -Ride) to disabled individuals who cannot ride the fixed -route bus system. Currently, Medstar operates Dial -A -Ride under a contract with Yakima Transit. The farebox- recovery ratio for this service was 9.07% in 2015. Yakima Transit leases vehicles to Medstar to help control maintenance costs and provide funds for replacement vehicles. Vanpool The Vanpool program is similar to carpooling, except that the passengers are using a transit vehicle. Yakima Transit pays for fuel, insurance, and maintenance. Each passenger is charged a monthly fee based on miles driven and the type of vehicle. The Vanpool program is a cost - recovery program; fares are expected to cover actual service costs. Due to a large drop in vanpool vans in service, farebox recovery for the Vanpool program in 2015 was 59.9 %. Three Vanpool vehicles are planned for replacement in 2016. Three additional vans will be removed from the service. Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter In July 2015, service was cut on the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter, going from eight roundtrips to seven roundtrips when school is in session and six roundtrips when school is not in session. As a result of the 20% cut in service for the second half of the year, ridership decreased by around 25 %. The farebox- recovery ratio for this service is at 32.5 %. If the City of Ellensburg elects to participate in the Commuter service. Yakima Transit will seek to add an additional round -trip run in the mornings. ., 13 ' ; Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 - 2021 Capital Funds Yakima Transit sets aside more than $1,000,000 annually in the capital reserve account for major capital projects like vehicle and facility replacement /expansion, as well as other smaller capital improvement projects. When revenue exceeds actual costs, those additional funds are put into a reserve account for either capital or operating. With proposed capital facility improvements over the next six years, the amount set aside will need to continue in order to complete the anticipated projects. Most of the time, grant funding is used fora portion of capital projects, primarily to replace vehicles. GENERAL FORECAST In the general forecast, several years show high expenditures as a result of vehicle replacement. Replacing vehicles are balanced out with the reserve account (ending cash balance) ensuring that Yakima Transit is financially healthy while upgrading the fleet. Yakima Transit's vehicle replacement schedule accelerates vehicle replacement at an annual rate of 2 -3 buses each year then back to a schedule of replacing buses at a rate of 1.5 fixed -route buses, 1.5 vanpool vans, and 3 paratransit vehicles each year. With the changes to the system, there is enough money in the capital budget to allow for these purchases. Buses typically cost $430K, Vanpool vans $40K, and Dial -A -Ride vehicles $37K vans & 15- passenger cutaway buses $140K. One -third of Yakima Transit's fleet is past its "useful life." A general financial forecast is shown in Appendix A. SECTION VI: SIGNIFICANT OPERATING & CAPITAL CHANGES, 2016 — 2021 Other than vehicle replacement and equipment upgrades, Yakima Transit doesn't have any significant operating changes planned for 2016 -2021. Major projects are listed in the six -year transit improvement plan — project list, Appendix C. Maps of the current system are shown in Appendix E -G. There have been several changes and upgrades in 2015, including upgrading the modems, cameras, and bus computers, adding live video streaming capabilities to assist supervisors, dispatchers, and the Yakima Police Department, and implementing Tablets into the buses in order to assist with passenger counts and uses GPS to pinpoint each individual trip and allow Yakima Transit to more fully understand ridership trends to meet passenger needs, both increasing efficiency and making the service more cost effective. Over the next two years, Yakima Transit anticipates adding twenty more passenger shelters along the fixed route system that on average has one passenger shelter for every five miles of bus service. Vehicle replacement is Yakima Transit's top priority right now and until that is comfortably addressed, facility improvements /additions should not be considered. Several future transit facilities are planned. The West Valley Transit Center is anticipated to be started in 2019 to help with Yakima Transit's transition to an all- electric fixed -route bus fleet if feasible. A new M &O facility is anticipated in 2021 in the West Valley area to also address the electric fleet needs and cut down on deadhead time (bus traveling back to the base while "out of service "). Grant funding is anticipated for all capital projects. 0 14 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 VII. Summary Overall, Yakima Transit's revenues and expenses are stable. Capital projects that have been delayed year after year are anticipated to be an option in the coming years. Fixed - routes are anticipated to be reestablished and services can be added where they are needed in the coming years. Services are anticipated to be more flexible so Yakima Transit can more fully serve the public. 0 15 Annual Report for 2015 & Transit Development Plan 2016 — 2021 APPENDIX A: OPERATING FINANCIAL DATA -
