INTRODUCTION
The Transit Development Plan 2019-2024 and 2018 Annual Report provides updated information to the
Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT) on development of public transportation
components undertaken by Yakima Transit and includes Yakima Transit's 2018 accomplishments and
proposed action strategies for 2019 to 2024. 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.
This plan is required to be updated each year in order for Yakima Transit to fully inform the Federal
Transit Administration, Washington State Department of Transportation, Yakima City Council, and the
Public of projects that have been undertaken and are planned to be undertaken. Because this is a plan, not
every project will be completed when planned in the document and some projects may never be started as
a result of changed conditions or other factors.
SECTION I: ORGANIZATION
History
In 1907, the City ofYakima's public transportation originated with a steel-rail streetcar system. The
Yakima Valley Transportation Company 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 Commuter bus
service between Yakima and Ellensburg. As a result of the American's with Disabilities Act, Dial-A-
Ride services were added in 1992. 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.
Organization& 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,

Transit Manager and the new Assistant Transit Manager. The City Manager and Public Works Director
report back to the 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.
As of December 31, 2018, Yakima Transit directly employed 58.5 employees in Administration, Fixed
route, Paratransit, and Vanpool services. Transit staff positions are generally frontline positions.

In 2016, Yakima Transit replaced the Marketing and Program Administrator with a Community
Transportation Coordinator and replaced a Department Assistant II position with a Transit Office
Assistant. Staffing changes made in 2018 included changing the position of the Project Planner into an
Assistant Transit Manager/Project Planner. This position was filled in February 2019.
Yakima Transit pays for various administrative services through the City of Yakima including Legal,
Human Resources,Vehicle 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 2018 employed approximately 38 employees consisting of
an Office Manager,Dispatchers, Schedulers, Drivers, Vehicle Cleaners, and Mechanics. In 2018, A&A
Motorcoach operated the Yakima-Ellensburg Commuter, employing up to eight Drivers, a Supervisor,
and a Maintenance person.
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 online for those unable to attend the actual session.
A Citizen's Advisory Committee 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 services they would like to see in the system, and comment on future
services Yakima Transit could provide. Community participation helps Yakima Transit address
passenger concerns.
SECTION II: PHYSICAL PLANT LOCATIONS
Yakima Transit's administrative and operations offices are located at 2301 Fruitvale Boulevard. Yakima
Transit's Human Resources, Legal, &Financial services are provided by the City of Yakima either at the
Public Works Facility, City Hall, or the 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

During 2018, Yakima Transit operated Fixed-route bus service along ten different routes that operate
between the hours of 6:00am and 7:00pm within the cities of Yakima and Selah:
• 9 routes Monday-Friday(6:00am-7:00pm);
• 9 routes on Saturdays (8:45am- 6:00pm); and, Transit Routes.
• 6 routes on Sundays (8:OOam-4:00pm). 1 Scmmitview/L ncoir

SAX 16th Ave/N.Ist St
Yakima Transit is continuously striving to provide an updated fleet for its 5l9X Washington/40thA've
passengers. In 2014,Yakima Transit replaced three buses,three more W411GX Seiah/N.1ststreet
buses in 2016, and most recently, four buses in 2017 with the help of$2.4 11 Yakira-Ellensburg Commuter
Million in State and Federal grants. The bus purchases put Yakima
Transit back on a regular vehicle replacement schedule. The next bus purchases are anticipated in 2021.
Future buses may potentially consist of electric buses or alternative fuels meeting the State of
Washington's alternative fuels regulations,if this is the most feasible option.
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).
In 2018, Yakima Transit provided paratransit services in the cities of Yakima and Selah(thru April 2018).
Dial-A-Ride services were available during the same operating schedule as Fixed-route services. 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.
Vanpoc:
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 11 vans in operation, less than there were at
the end of 2018. When gas prices increase, Yakima Transit's vanpool services are anticipated to be used
more, 20%growth anticipated over the next six years.
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, which may be used up to four times per year.

Park R. Ride imei
Yakima Transit provides service to five park&ride lots: Chesterly Park at North 40th Ave and River
Road, Gateway Center along Fair Avenue at I-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.
Scheid 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 2018, School
District passes accounted for 13%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 filled up 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.

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 previous
funding cycle ended on 6/30/19, and the current grant cycle runs from 7/01/19—6/30/21. When
compared to current years,the ridership in 2018 has remained steady with a slight increase in
ridership.
The Commuter bus will begin its route in each city at approximately 6:00 AM and will be arriving
to their destination by 7:45 AM.
On average, the Yakima-Ellensburg Commuter provides more passenger trips than each of the four
State operated Intercity Transits (Apple, Grape, Gold, &Dungeness Lines)at less than 1/3 of the
combined miles travelled and at roughly 1/3 the combined cost.
Grants are required to continue to keep the service operational,with the fare box recovery
averaging around 10%.
2. Fixed-Route Passenger Counters. In 2019, Yakima Transit purchased new software/IT
equipment that assists in collecting data for reporting purposes. Yakima Transit is required to
collect and report this data on an annual basis to the State (Washington State Department of
Transportation)and Federal(Federal Transit Authority)levels. This new technology was fully
implemented by the end of 2019.
3. Paratransit Passenger Counters. In 2021 -2022,Yakima Transit anticipates equipping the
paratransit fleet with passenger counter tablets similar to the fixed-route system tablets. Yakima
Transit is required to collect and report this data on an annual basis to the State (Washington State
Department of Transportation) and Federal (Federal Transit Authority)levels.
4. Security Cameras. Bus security cameras were upgraded in 2018,giving Yakima Transit the
ability to have live video feed. In 2017 and early 2018,the Transit Center cameras were upgraded
as well.
Local Capital Projects
1. Vehide Replacement.
a. Buses. Three fixed-route buses arrived in March 2016 and four new fixed-route buses arrived
in 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 new Vanpool vehicles arrived in 2017, replacing two 15-passenger, and one
7-passenger van. No more Vanpool vehicle replacements are anticipated until 2021.
c. Commuter.Yakima Transit does not own the vehicles used in the Yakima-Ellensburg
Commuter. The vehicles are owned and operated by the service provider, A&A Motorcoach.
d. Dial A Ride. In 2016, Yakima Transit replaced several Dial-A-Ride vehicles -four minivans
and three cutaways. These vehicles replaced older cutaways and minivans. With a newer fleet,
no more vehicles are anticipated until 2020.
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................

e. Administrative. Yakima Transit replaced three vehicles in 2017. Two more Admin vehicles
are anticipated in 2020.
2. 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, Planning and Engineering Departments to identify and partially
fund sidewalks installation throughout the Transit system to help individuals with mobility
issues get to the bus stop.
3. Purchase and install more transit shelters. Yakima Transit received a grant for the 2017-2019
biennium to purchase and install 20 new Transit shelters. These new shelters protect our
passengers from the outside elements and accommodate wheelchairs. With the install of these 20
new shelters Yakima Transit now has 52 passenger shelters in the fixed-route system that has
approximately 700 bus stops.
4. Build a new Transit Base of Operations. Yakima Transit anticipates building a new Transit Base
of Operations in Yakima within the next 5-10 years. The new Transit location is anticipated to
house Yakima Transit Admin offices,vehicles,low maintenance garage, cleaning bay, ticket booth,
etc. The new Transit location is also anticipated to help Yakima Transit switch over to alternative
fuels, if they are feasible. At some point in the future, Yakima Transit anticipates all the buses will
have alternative fuel sources.
5. Build a new Westside Transfer location.Yakima Transit anticipates building a new Transfer
station in west Yakima/West Valley within the next 5-10 years (possibly in conjunction with the
new Base of Operations). This Transfer Station will not only offer improved services to the west
Yakima and West Valley community,but it will support the Transit Center currently located in east
Yakima, offering more efficient routes and better connectivity throughout our entire system.
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: COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT CONNECTIONS
Throughout the City of Yakima, there are several planned or completed community enhancement
projects. This section provides updates on transit connectivity to those programs/developments.
Yakima Transit provides bus service to several annual community events including fare-free shuttle
services to: the Central Washington State Fair, the City of Yakima's Fourth of July Fireworks Show, and
the Arboretum's Christmas Luminaria Event. All of the transit services provided are open to the general
public.
The following are important City of Yakima community enhancement projects that are planned:
YMCA Aquatics Center -The YMCA Aquatics Center is proposed to be a year-round aquatics
center located at the City ofYakima's Chesterly Park(40th Avenue and River Road). Yakima
Transit has several routes that will serve this facility. At peak service, there are six buses per hour(66
buses per day)that will serve the facility.

Sozo Sports Complex (SOZO)—SOZO is a sports facility,located at the south central area of the
City of Yakima in a relatively rural area just west of the Yakima Airport. The SOZO complex
combines both indoor and outdoor fields and courts for soccer, basketball, football, and other sports.
Transit services to SOZO are anticipated in the near future once the streets leading to and from the
complex are completed.
SECTION VI: 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. On average, total capital and operating expenses are
around$10M annually. The projected Ending Cash Balance, includes anticipated capital investments.
Revenues
The information contained in this section breaks down revenue streams and considers the outlook of those
revenue sources. Operating revenue consists mainly of local sales tax and grant funding. Revenue is also
obtained from farebox,monthly bus passes, tickets, and reimbursements from other jurisdictions served.

Sagas "axes
Yakima Transit utilizes a three tenths of one percent(0.3%) sales tax that was passed by voters in 1980.
Sales tax revenue accounts for approximately 52% of total transit revenue in 2018. Sales tax revenues
typically remains relatively consistent year to year with a slight fluctuation either up or down. Each one
tenth of one percent equates to approximately$1.96M in revenue per year.
1 8+020X { e Je nt:e
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 the service. If
the cost of the fare is too high, individuals who could drive may opt for the convenience of driving.

For 2018, farebox revenue accounted for 8%of all revenue. Yakima Transit ridership remained steady
over the last year,with a count of approximately 1,030,000 passengers served.
Grant i t[rds
Yakima Transit utilizes both federal and state grants,which, in 2018, accounted for approximately 36%of
total revenue. State and Federal funding has remained at or near prior year levels. Federal formula
allocations have continued to increase.
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:
20 7 201- 2 1 U ,-, fr Cn, uter
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 2019—June 2021 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, City of Ellensburg, and Central Washington University. Without partnership support,
Yakima Transit would not be able to provide the service. The grant covers about 36%of the service,
local funds account for approximately 48% of the cost, and the farebox revenue accounts for the
remaining 17%.
Cost: $1.15M Grant: $400K Status: Currently being used.
172019 2 Naratransa Special Needs rnia Grant
Paratransit Special Needs Formula Funds(PTSNF)-Yakima Transit receives an apportionment
(roughly$250K every two years)from the Washington State Department of Transportation for paratransit
services. Yakima Transit spends roughly$1.5M every year on paratransit services.
Cost: $3M Grant: $250K Status: Currently being used.
2018- 5307 p a ng Assistance
Annual Grant-Yakima Transit receives FTA 5307 funding totaling approximately$2.3M annually.
This grant is essential to maintain existing fixed-route bus services.
Cost: $4.6M Grant: $2.3M Status: Currently being used.

Operating Expenditures
Yakima Transit's total operating expenses for 2018 were $9.2M, a$490K increase from 2017. Major
operating expenses include fuel,labor, insurance, and other costs. Employee costs were the primary
factor for the increase along with technology upgrades. For 2019, operating expenses are anticipated to
be steadily increasing.
Yakima Transit operates fixed-route, vanpool,paratransit, and commuter bus service. These modes of
transportation are addressed by their overall cost to the budget including operating and capital costs.

ieed 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 nearly 70% of the total cost to
provide the service. Maintenance (16%) & fuel (7%)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 March 2017, Yakima Transit purchased four new transit
buses, as part of Transit's ongoing bus replacement plan. Three bus purchases are planned within the
next couple of years(delivery date of 2021-2022).
D a#-A..Role
Yakima Transit operates fixed-route bus services, which requires (by federal law)the Transit system 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 10.1%in 2018. Yakima Transit leases vehicles to
Medstar to help control maintenance costs and provide funds for replacement vehicles.
VtiPpfx
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. Farebox recovery for the Vanpool program in 2018 was
approximately 80%. Three Vanpool vehicles were ordered as replacements in 2017. Additional vans are
planned for 2021.
Yakima-E38erstrg Ccmmtt: r
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
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
12 Irk, Annual Report for 2018& Transit Development Plan 2019-2024
16
20% cut in service for the second half of the year,ridership decreased by around 25%. In 2016, Yakima
Transit contracted with A&A Motorcoach to begin providing the service. With the change in vendor,
there has been a savings in the cost of providing the services. The farebox-recovery ratio for this service
is at 27%. Most recently, the City of Ellensburg elected to participate in the Commuter service. In 2018,
Yakima Transit provided an additional round-trip run on a trial-basis in the mornings,but due to a lack of
ridership this run was discontinued.
Capital Funds
Yakima Transit sets aside $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 for a 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 is 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$485K,Vanpool vans $42K, and Dial-A-Ride
vehicles $40K vans & 15-passenger cutaway buses $140K.
A general financial forecast is shown in Appendix A.
SECTION VII: SIGNIFICANT OPERATING & CAPITAL CHANGES, 2019 —2024
Other than vehicle replacement and equipment upgrades, Yakima Transit doesn't have any significant
operating changes planned for 2019-2024. 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 2018 to mid-2019,including upgrading the modems,
cameras, and bus computers, adding live video streaming capabilities to assist supervisors, dispatchers,
and the Yakima Police Department.
In 2019 Yakima Transit added twenty more passenger shelters along the fixed route system that on
average has one passenger shelter for every five miles of bus service.
Several future transit facilities are planned. Exploration of the new Yakima Transit facility and West
Valley Transfer Center are anticipated to be started in 2020-2021 to help with Yakima Transit's transition
to an alternative fuel bus fleet(if feasible). Grant funding is anticipated for all capital projects.
VIII. 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. Services are anticipated to be more flexible
so Yakima Transit can more fully serve the public.
