Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
INTRODUCTION
The Transit Development Plan 2013 -2018 and 2012 Annual Report provides updated information to the
Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT) on development of the various public
transportation components undertaken by Yakima Transit & Selah Transit. Yakima Transit's & Selah
Transit's 2012 accomplishments and proposed action strategies for 2013 to 2018 are included.
This document is submitted per the requirements of RCW 35.58.2795. Yakima & Selah Transit are
required to prepare a six -year transit development plan and annual report. WSDOT uses this document
to prepare an annual report for the Washington State Legislature summarizing the status of public
transportation systems in the State. The document is also used to notify the public about projects that
have been completed, are in process, or are planned for the future. The Yakima City Council must
approve this document prior to this document going into effect following a public hearing.
SECTION I: ORGANIZATION
History
In 1907, the City of Yakima's public transportation service originated with the advent of a steel -rail
streetcar system. The first transit service was operated by the Yakima Valley Transportation Company
(YVT). The first 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. A private transportation company took over operation of the bus system from YVT in
1957. The private firm quit operation in 1966 and for four months there were no public transportation
services in the City of Yakima. The citizens of Yakima then voted to approve the State's first household
tax in the fall of 1966 to financially support a public transit system. Public transit services were re-
established under contract with a private transportation management firm. In October 1970, the City
purchased the assets of the financially troubled private transportation management firm and continued
transit operations ever since as a City -owned and operated Public Transit System. In November 1980,
Yakima citizens approved a 0.3% sales tax that replaced the City's household tax as the method of
financial support for the transit system.
Yakima Transit began operating fixed -route bus & paratransit services under a contract with the City of
Selah and continues to provide those services. Selah's service are funded by a voter approved (2007)
0.3% sales tax.
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 (i.e. the Hanford Nuclear site).
The Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter started at the end of November, 2011, in an effort to mainly provide
transportation services for students and teachers traveling to either the Yakima Valley Community
College or Central Washington University. Yakima Transit supports the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter
along with WSDOT and Central Washington University.
Yakima Transit is considered, under the federal classification, as a small urbanized transit system,
because the area served has a population size between 50,000 and 200,000.
Organizational Structure
The Yakima City Council is ultimately responsible for all of Yakima Transit operations. The Transit
Manager oversees the daily operational activities of the Transit System, which is overseen by the Public
Works Director and the City Manager. The City Manager reports back to the City Council on activities
undertaken and addresses transit - related policies and financial issues.
Citizens may 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. All City Council meetings and budget review
meetings are broadcast live on local community access television and taped for rebroadcast again later
on at various intervals for those unable to attend the actual session. These broadcasts are also available
online on Yakima's Public Access Channel.
Yakima Transit also has a citizen's advisory group that meets quarterly and consists of members of the
community with an interest in transit, as well as individuals who ride 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 tackle rider
concerns, which typically include customer service, safety, and efficiency.

Organization
Several management layers help control the activities & programs that are conducted including the City
Manager, Public Works Director, and Transit Manager. As of December 31, 2012, Yakima Transit directly
employed 48 full -time, 7 part -time, and 15 temporary employees in Administration & Operations for

The City of Selah did not have any employees dedicated to Selah's Transit operations. Selah's staff
consists of administrative positions that support the City as a whole, not just transit.
SECTION II: PHYSICAL PLANT
Yakima Transit's administrative and operations offices are located at 2301 Fruitvale Boulevard. Yakima
Transit's Human Resources, Legal, and Finance services are provided through the City of Yakima either
at the Public Works Facility, City Hall, or Legal Center. Appendices A thru C contain complete list of
Yakima Transit's assets. Selah Transit does not have a facility dedicated to only Transit services. Selah
Transit is operated out of Selah City Hall and the Selah Public Works Facility.
Yakima Transit is currently planning for an additional location in the East and West Valley areas. Yakima
Transit expects to purchase the property for a West Valley Park & Ride and Operations facility before the
end of 2014 and construct the facility in phases within a five -year period following the land acquisition.
The West Valley Transit Center will include a park, park & ride, and operations facility (office,
maintenance, and bus storage) and will serve as the main operations facility. Yakima Transit's current
location will serve as a satellite facility mainly for routes that do not start or end at the main facility.
Yakima Transit is also pursuing an Eastside park & ride near 1 -82 and SR 24. The Eastside Park & Ride
Facility is anticipated to be operational a couple years after the West Valley Transit Center is operational
and will consist of a park & ride and, at a later date, an information booth. This facility will help Yakima
Transit coordinate service to Moxee, Terrace Heights, and any express -route services along the 1 -82
corridor.
For the Commuter service, Yakima Transit obtained grant funding for 2013 -2014 to expand the Firing
Center Park & Ride lot. This property is owned by WSDOT and Yakima County and operated by WSDOT.
4 Is Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
Yakima Transit is also considering moving the existing Downtown Transit Center from 4th Street and
Walnut to Front Street between Yakima Avenue and Chestnut. By relocating the transit center, Yakima
Transit will be able to shorten up the travel distance that most buses take into Downtown Yakima. The
facility will be located next to the BNSF rail line in the event that transit - related passenger rail service
starts operating through Yakima. This move will reduce the number of bus reroutes and discontinued
service due to conflicting events Downtown. The new location is more centrally located in the Central
Business District allowing better access for people using the bus to access services, employment, &
shopping in the Downtown area. Being close to 1st Street and Yakima Avenue, it will also be easier
access for intercity service connections.
Selah Transit does not have any plans for facility locations. As part of Selah's effort to participate in the
Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter, they plan on paving a church parking lot that will be used as the location
for the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter stop in Selah. Additional passenger shelters and sidewalk
improvements for ADA accessible passengers may be considered as future improvements.
SECTION III: TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
Services
During 2012, Yakima Transit served the city of Yakima and the city of Selah with fixed - route, paratransit,
and vanpool service. (See attached Service Area Map) Yakima Transit offers these three different modes
of transportation, as well as promotes sidewalks, pathways, and bicycle routes. Yakima Transit provides
connections to other forms of transportation including rail, air, and other fixed -route services: Yakima -
Ellensburg Commuter, Union Gap Transit, and the People For People's Community Connector (Lower
Valley Express service).
Fixed Route
Yakima Transit offers fixed -route bus service along 10 different routes that generally operate between
the hours of 6:00am and 7:00pm within the city of Yakima and the city of Selah. During 2012, Yakima
Transit operated as many as 10 local fixed routes, Monday through Friday, (6:15am - 7:45pm), 9 fixed -
routes on Saturday, (8:45am - 6:30pm), and 6 fixed - routes on Sundays (8:00am- 4:00pm). Weekday
routes are operated both on an hour and half -hour basis on most routes. Saturday routes are operated
on an hourly basis. In March 2010, Yakima Transit extended its service hours to 7:45pm under a WSDOT
grant. The service ended March 11, 2013, due to low ridership. In an effort to save money for capital
improvements, on March 11, 2013, Yakima Transit cutback half -hour service Monday through Friday on
several fixed - routes (Routes 6, 7, & 9) for three hours on each of these routes during the middle of the
day. Other cutbacks included ending fare -free service during the summer on the weekends and ending
service on all federally recognized holidays.
Yakima Transit's system map, as illustrated in the Appendix G depicts the local fixed routes operated in
2012. Expected future fixed routes will be a minimum of 10 routes in 2012 to a high of 15 routes by the
end of the 6 -year period, if commuter routes to neighboring communities are added. Over the next six
years, some routes may be cut, modified, or discontinued in order to maintain or expand more efficient
routes.

Demand Response
Yakima Transit provided the Cities of Yakima & Selah with paratransit services in 2012. Dial -A -Ride
services were available during the same operating days and hours as the scheduled fixed -route service.
Under contract with Medstar, LLC, (a private for - profit company) complementary paratransit service
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 the Cities of Yakima and Selah and some medical - related trips into the City of Union
Gap. Over the next six years, Yakima Transit does not anticipate any changes to the paratransit services
offered, except as it relates to expansion of the fixed -route program.
Vanpool
Yakima Transit operates vanpool services for residents within the Greater Yakima area. Vanpool
services are provided on a cost recovery basis; fees are shared by the riders. As part of the services
provided through the vanpool program, Yakima Transit offers each vanpool commuter a guaranteed ride
home. The guaranteed ride home service may be used up to four times per year.
With the recent economic downturn, Yakima Transit's vanpool program is still experiencing a slump in
vanpool starts, especially with the end of the ARRA grant that Hanford received. There are currently 22
vans that are now being operated. When the economy recovers or if gas prices increase, Yakima
Transit's vanpool services will likely be used more. In the near future, Yakima Transit does not anticipate
a large increase in vanpool users. Yakima Transit anticipates a 0 % -4% growth per year over the next six
years. One of the factors inhibiting expansion is Yakima Transit's large increase in rates charged to
Vanpool users to meet the 100% cost - recovery ratios.
Multimodal Connections
Yakima Transit provides service to the following public transportation facilities /connections:
• Greyhound Bus Terminal (Fruitvale & 40th Avenue)
• Lower /Upper Valley Community Connector (Yakima Transit Center)
• Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter (Yakima Air Terminal, YVCC, and Yakima Transit Center)
• Yakima Airport (Routes 7 & 9)
• Union Gap Transit (Routes 7 & 9)

�� /j
Park & Ride Lots
Yakima Transit provides service to three park and ride lots: Chesterly Park at North 40th Avenue and
River Road, Gateway Center along Fair Avenue at Interstate 82, and the Public Works parking complex at
N. 23rd Avenue and Fruitvale Boulevard. The Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter service that Yakima
participates in funding also accesses, the Firing Center Park & Ride Lot.
achool Service
Yakima Transit provides weekday non - exclusive transportation service to elementary, middle, and high
schools in its designated service area through a school tripper. The school districts do not provide
transportation services for students who live within a mile of the school; however, the school district
purchases transit youth passes for the students to use throughout Yakima and Selah.
Fare Structure
Single- ticket fares & monthly fares were increased March 2013 for the fixed -route service. Adult single
ticket passes increased from $0.75 to $1.00. Youth single ticket passes increased from $0.50 to $0.75.
Reduced -Fare single ticket passes increased from $0.35 to $0.50. Monthly passes increased from $18 to
$25 for adult passes, $12 to $18 for youth passes, and $5 to $9 for reduced fare passes. Paratransit
fares increased from $1.50 to $2.00. Daypasses are still being offered at three times the cost of a single
fare, or twice the fare for passes obtained after 9:15am. Another fare increase is anticipated January 1,
2017, for single ticket, monthly passes, and paratransit.
On September 1, 2012, Commuter service fares increased from $3 to $4 for single ticket and from $100
to $125 for the monthly passes.
The rates for Fixed Route & Commuter services 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
Youth (age 6 -17) $0.75 $18.00

Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter (Yakima < -> Firing Center) $1.00 $125.00
Preschool (under age 6, accompanied by an adult) Free
In 2012, changes were made to the transfer policy. Transfers were changed from "unlimited" free rides
to "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. Transfers from the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter are
free from the Commuter to either fixed -route system, upon payment for the Commuter service.
Fare free service has been discontinued except for service on the Fourth of July for the day -long
fireworks shuttle service; and, for the Yakima County Fair Shuttle service that operates all day long for
the length of the County Fair.

SECTION IV: STATE & LOCAL LONG -RANGE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES
State Priorities
In 2012, Yakima Transit addressed the Washington State Department of Transportation's State Public
Transportation Policy Objectives as follows:
1. Preservation: To maintain, preserve, and extend the life and utility of prior investments in
transportation systems and services: Yakima Transit maintains its vehicles according to
manufacture specifications. Vehicles parts are replaced if needed, extending the life of the
vehicle. Yakima Transit continues to maintain and preserve existing facilities. Transit operators
provide quality customer service helping Yakima Transit maintain, preserve, and increase
ridership. The cost to maintain vehicles is fairly expensive and Yakima Transit is continually
working with other transit agencies to obtain newer vehicles. Yakima Transit also applies for state
and federal grants for replacement vehicles.
2. Safety: To provide for and improve the safety and security of transportation customers and the
transportation system: Yakima Transit has provided for and improved the safety and security of
transportation customers and the transportation system by adding security cameras on the buses
and about half of the Dial A Ride vehicles.
3. Mobility (addressing congestion): To improve the predictable movement of goods and people
throughout Washington state: As development occurs, Yakima Transit flexes it route services to
continue to provide service to all Yakima residents and employees. Yakima Transit isn't typically
involved in improving the movement of goods; however, the reduction in traffic on arterial streets
allows for more efficient movement of goods throughout Yakima. As for movement of people
throughout the state of Washington, Yakima Transit provides connecting service at the downtown
Transit Center for the Lower Yakima Valley express route services operated by People for People
and the express route service between Yakima and Ellensburg operated by HopeSource. Yakima
Transit has equipped buses with front - loading bicycle carriers for inter -model transportation use.
4. Environment: To enhance Washington's quality of life through transportation investments that
promote energy conservation, enhance healthy communities, and protect the environment:
Yakima Transit's services enhance Washington resident's quality of life by promoting energy
conservation, enhancing healthy communities, and protecting the environment. Yakima Transit is
in the process of purchasing newer buses that will likely arrive in 2014. Yakima Transit does not
currently operate green buses (hybrid, electric, or other alternatives).
5. Stewardship: To continuously improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the
transportation system: Yakima Transit continues to maintain the vehicles in top shape, inside and
out, improving the quality and effectiveness of Transit services. Routes are constantly being
examined then reexamined to determine their efficiency. In 2013, several routes were cut back.
Ridership surveys are conducted annually to help determine ridership to help determine what may
have caused increases or decreases in ridership.
6. Economic Vitality: To promote and develop transportation systems that stimulate, support, and
enhance the movement of people and goods to ensure a prosperous economy: Yakima Transit
coordinates with the City of Yakima when new development is being proposed and participates in
making development recommendations to encourage transit use. Yakima Transit has and will
8 4�/j � � Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
continue to modify the system to provide the most effective use of the services to large
businesses, organizations, and high- intensity housing developments.
Local Priorities
In 2012, Yakima Transit has continued to implement the following Council Transit Taskforce approved
actions:
1. Vehicle Replacement. Yakima Transit is in the process to replace three transit buses with new low
floor buses. Nearly all of Yakima Transit's vehicles are low -floor Gilligs, which have shown to be
the most reliable option.
Yakima Transit replaced five vanpool vans through the State's vanpool investment program.
Yakima Transit has received funding to replace eight paratransit (Dial A Ride) vehicles (minivans).
The new minivans will be replacing less efficient cutaways and sedans.
Yakima Transit is still in the process of purchasing reliable used vehicles for the Yakima - Ellensburg
Commuter. To date, 13 vehicles have been used to provide the service, five cutaways and eight
buses. Four of the buses have been disposed of and two of the cutaways have been moved to the
Dial A Ride program. The remaining four buses are still having issues. Yakima Transit is in the
process of purchasing six used Gillig over - the -road buses from Sound Transit. The six used Gilligs
are being sold at a very low price. Not all of those vehicles will be put on the road; the spares will
be used to keep the other vehicles on the road. Because Yakima Transit has had to update so
many vehicles to make them roadworthy, maintenance expenses have been relatively high.
2. Expand the Yakima Transit operating hours to start earlier in the day, add to the evening routes
and provide additional bus service on Saturday and Sunday. Yakima Transit had expanded the
hours of service by one hour in the evening. The service did not perform as expected and was cut
as of March 11, 2013. Any new expansion of service like this one, will be modified and will likely
consist of a two -hour expansion on very limited routes, likely the routes that operate on Sundays.
Saturday service has not expanded beyond its existing service and will likely not be expanded in
the near future. Providing half -hour service on certain routes will likely be the first expansion,
when Saturday service is expanded.
Sunday service was started with a CMAQ grant 2011 (86.5% Federal Money /13.5% local money);
continued with a WSDOT Consolidated Grant 2012 (50% Federal Money /50% local money), and
will likely be continued with another CMAQ grant 2013. This service has been a success and will
likely continue beyond the grant period, even without grant funding.
3. Secure permanent funding for bus service to the Selah and Union Gap operations. This goal was
completed several years ago. Both of the Cities of Selah and Union Gap have dedicated transit
funding for transit services. Selah voters approved a 0.3% transit sales tax (7/2007) & Union Gap
votes approved a 0.2% transit sales tax (4/2008). The City of Selah contracts with Yakima Transit
for fixed -route and paratransit services and has since the inception expanded their route, hours of
service, and added half -hour service. The City of Union Gap purchases transportation services
through Tri -City Transportation and operates the service fare free.
4. Build a new Westside transfer location in the annexed areas around 72nd Avenue. Yakima
Transit intends to build a transit center near the intersection at 96th Avenue and Wide Hollow Rd.
9 Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
Yakima Transit is required to complete a NEPA alternative analysis prior to purchasing the
property in order to qualify for federal grant funding to build out the site.
5. Link the nearby communities in the Urban Growth Area together with Transit Service (includes
Selah, Terrace Heights, Moxee, Yakima Training Center, Gleed, Tieton, Cowiche, and Naches). All
these links depend on demonstration project grant funding, as well as long -term local funding.
• In 2009, Yakima Transit pursued an extension into Terrace Heights. That service was
discontinued due to lack of support from the Yakima County Commissioners. In order to
continue the service in the future, it will require strong Yakima County participation or
annexation into the City of Yakima.
• In 2009, Yakima Transit extended a route into the City of Selah. The City of Selah continues
to fund the route and, as of March 1, 2010, has extended the route further into their
community and added an additional half -hour of service. Selah anticipates participating in
the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter, which will include paving a parking lot for a park and ride,
as well as providing additional funding to support the program.
• Nearby bedroom communities are unlikely to be able to fully support transit services in /to
their community due to low commercial development, which leads to low sales tax funding.
• In 2012, Yakima Transit approached some Lower Yakima Valley cities about the possibility of
providing express -route transit services between Yakima and Grandview. There was some
interest; however, without a viable funding source, the discussion has temporarily been
discontinued. The Yakima Valley Conference of Governments (MPO /RTPO) is currently doing
a study to determine the need for transit services countywide.
• Pahto Public Passage (tribal transit serving the Yakama Nation), provided transit services on
the Yakama Reservation and in late 2012 temporarily discontinued service due to a lack of
funding. The Federal Transit Administration has since dedicated apportionment funding for
tribal programs. Service should resume in either 2013 or 2014.
6. Offer regional transit service connections to Kittitas County (Ellensburg /CWU Campus). As of
November 28, 2011, Yakima Transit in partnership with HopeSource (Ellensburg) Central
Washington University, & WSDOT started the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter. The Commuter
provides limited service to /from the Yakima Firing Center (military training center). HopeSource
operates the service with funding from Yakima Transit, Central Washington University, and a grant
from WSDOT. The service has been a success providing more than 39,000 passenger trips in 2012,
and is on track to provide close to 58,000 in 2013. A second two -year grant has been obtained
that started on July 1, 2013. Grants will be required to continue to keep the service operational,
although farebox recovery is close to 35 %, which is a relatively high farebox recovery as compared
to a state -wide standard (2nd best in the State, behind Pullman Transit).
7. Continue to incorporate /maintain /improve ADA requirements within the transit system. Yakima
Transit continues its efforts to maintain and improve ADA access within the system. Yakima
Transit has made an internal commitment that all vehicles purchased will be ADA accessible.
Yakima Transit continues to work on the automated -stop announcements and readerboards to
make sure they are working. Yakima Transit contributes roughly $10,000 per year to City
Engineering road projects for sidewalks.
Capital improvements over the next six years will depend heavily on Transit's main funding source, sales
tax. If sales tax revenues remain the same or decline, planned projects will be put on hold until revenue
10 Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
is available to do the project. Major capital investment portions of the items are listed in Appendix F.
The major improvements planned include the following: construction of a West Valley Transit Center
and East Valley Transit Center, vehicle replacement, new fareboxes, increased security through the
purchase of security cameras for facilities and buses, and an increase the number of bus shelters along
fixed routes.
SECTION V: PROGRAM FUNDING
Operating Revenue
Operating revenue consists mainly of a combination of the local sales tax and grant funding. Revenue is
also obtained from advertising (inside and outside the buses), fareboxes, ticket and monthly pass sales,
and reimbursement from other jurisdictions for service provided. Annual operating revenues, exclusive
of capital reserve transfers, were $7.6M for 2012, a 1.4% increase from 2011. Funds for capital reserves
were set aside in 2012 and will likely be done again in 2013 in order to purchase three new buses, smart
fareboxes, dispatching software, and other capital purchases. Operating revenues are trending up in
2013 and are anticipated to be up by close to 8% by yearend. Selah's operating revenue was $299,649
for 2012. Operating revenues for 2013 for Selah are anticipated to remain at or near the 2012 levels.
Sales Taxes
Dedicated sales tax makes up the largest portion of funding that Yakima Transit uses to operate public
transportation services, by more than 50 %. Transit's dedicated sales tax is three tenths of one percent
(0.3 %) approved by voters in 1980. Each one tenth of one percent equates to approximately $1.5M in
revenue per year. The sales tax for 2012 increased by 7.6% from 2011. That amount is anticipated to
continue to improve in 2013.
The City of Selah has a 0.3% sales tax that pays for operating service in Selah, mainly fixed -route and
paratransit services contracted for through Yakima Transit. Each 0.1% of sales tax equals approximately
$100K in revenue.
rant Funds
Grant funding is an essential part of maintaining and extending services. Operating grants consist of the
annual operating grant, operating grants for ADA paratransit services, congestion mitigation and air
quality (typically expansion projects), and other operating grants.
Annual Grant - Yakima Transit receives funds through the FTA's 5307 annual apportionment grant
approximately $1.9M- $2.4M. This grant is essential to continuing to provide transit services at their
current level. These funds are obtained every year and relied on to maintain existing service.
Sunday Service Grant - In April 2011, Yakima Transit provided fixed -route and paratransit services on
Sundays. The first year was granted under a Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Grant. The second year
was started April 2012 through a Federal 5316 Job Access & Reverse Commute grant passed through
WSDOT. Yakima Transit is providing the third year under another Congestion Mitigation Air Quality
Grant through April 2014. The service will likely be continued even after the grant expires.
Extended Hours Grant - In March 2010, Yakima Transit extended their hours of operation through
Federal 5316 Job Access & Reverse Commute grant passed through WSDOT. The grant was extended in
11 s Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
2011 and ended June 30, 2012. The service had low ridership and was cut March 2013. Ridership counts
were around 4.5 riders per hour. This service should, however, be reconsidered in the future.
Paratransit Special Needs Formula Funds ( PTSNF) - Yakima Transit receives an apportionment from the
Washington State Department of Transportation. It costs Yakima Transit roughly $2M every year to
provide paratransit services in Yakima. The PTSNF funds are roughly $160K every two years. The funds
are relatively small in comparison to the cost to provide the service.
Washington State Transit Formula Funds - Starting in 2012, Yakima Transit along with other transit
agencies that receive sales tax for services provided received an annual apportionment from the State.
In 2012, Yakima Transit's amount was roughly $80K. Selah's portion for 2012 was $1,374. Future
funding from this program should equal approx. $300K every two years for Yakima and around $4,500
for Selah.
The City of Selah participates in grants that relate to service that Selah provides, yet falls under a grant
that Yakima Transit obtained. In 2012, these grants included the 5307 annual apportionment grant,
Sunday Service grant, and Extended Hours Grant. Selah receives their Washington State Formula Funds
independent of Yakima Transit. And, Selah receives their apportionment of PTSNF money through
Yakima Transit.
Farebox Revenue
Farebox revenue accounts for a small amount of the revenue required to operate services, around 12 %.
Selah does not receive any of the farebox revenue. Under the agreement between Yakima Transit and
Selah Transit, all farebox revenue goes to Yakima Transit.
Operating Expenditures
Yakima Transit's total operating expenses for 2012 were $7.9M, a 6.9% increase from 2011. Major
operating expenses include fuel, labor, insurance, and other costs. The notable increases were in labor,
benefits (specifically insurance), vehicle maintenance, fuel, and contributions to the Yakima - Ellensburg
Commuter. Yakima Transit anticipates a 6 % -8% increase in the majority of operating costs including
salaries, benefits, and insurance. Major reductions were put into place that took effect on March 11,
2013, that will show a decline in expenses; however, a reduction in service is also part of that plan.
Fuel prices were volatile in 2012 fluctuating between $3 -$4 per gallon. Fuel prices are anticipated to
remain around $4 per gallon through 2013 and into 2014. There is a direct relationship between
gasoline prices and ridership. As fuel prices increase, ridership also increase; however, as passengers
get acclimated to the prices, they will slowly switch back to driving as a convenience. It is anticipated
that around 14% of transit riders have an alternative means of transportation, specifically, access to a
vehicle for personal use.

12 4& Annual Report for 2012 & Transit Development Plan 2013 — 2018
Expenses are anticipated to increase between 8.5% from 2012. The increase in expenses are a result of
higher insurance rates, higher fuel prices, anticipated higher wages, and other inflationary factors.
Possible future cuts may include decreasing the service area (stopping at 72nd Avenue for Routes 1 & 8)
or eliminating /revising Route 1 or 8 (or both).
Selah's operating expenses were $230,933, a decline of 11.6% from 2011. This decline is reflected in a
drop in pricing for Selah, which is set by Yakima based on the prior year's operating costs. Selah's rates
are higher in 2013 and expenses for yearend 2013 will be higher. Paratransit services remained
relatively close to actual costs for 2011 and are based on costs for that year. The rates the paratransit
contractor charges are less than the previous contractor.
Capital Funds
Yakima Transit sets sales tax revenue aside for capital projects. Typically, the funds set aside are that
portion that is above what is budgeted for operations, adjusted based on actual expenditures
throughout the year. If revenue exceed actual costs, those additional funds are typically put into a
reserve account for either capital or operating. Yakima Transit has a goal to set aside more than
$400,000 annually in the capital reserve account for major capital projects like vehicle and facility
replacement /expansion. With proposed capital facility improvements over the next six years, the
amount set aside will need to increase in order to complete the anticipated projects.
Grant funding will be needed for most of the capital projects listed in the Capital Improvement Program
section. Yakima Transit will be funding the match portion through sales tax revenue. If the economic
recovery relapses, it will delay the ability for Yakima Transit to continue forward with the planned capital
improvement projects.
Selah's typical capital expenses are for bus shelters and sidewalks. In 2012 $27,399 of Transit funds was
spent on Capital expenses (sidewalk improvements $22,334, Bus Shelter improvements $3,054, and
utility shop facility improvements $ 2,011). Selah plans on continuing to improve accessibility to transit
stops and provide shelter from the elements for their passengers. For 2013, Selah has planned $96,000
budgeted for Transit funded capital expenses (Park & Ride $ 50,000, ADA accessible sidewalks $35,000,
and passenger shelters $ 11,000.)
SECTION VI: SIGNIFICANT OPERATING CHANGES PLANNED, 2013 — 2018
Yakima Transit is more aware of possible revenue shortfalls because of the global economic conditions
in recent years. Yakima Transit has had to modify its long term outlook and take specific actions to
ensure the Agency's will be able to continue its high quality service while still being able to consider the
system's future growth. Yakima Transit has experienced a decline in sales tax collections, the primary
funding source, since 2008; however, sales tax revenue seems to be trending upward in 2013.
Yakima Transit cut some services March 11, 2013, in order to be able to afford capital purchases of new
buses and other equipment. With a lack of matching funds, planned capital programs have been put on
hold for now. Expansion projects into bedroom communities have also been placed on hold. Transit
operating projects are shown in Appendix F. These include expanding service to Naches, Moxee,
Terrace Heights, and the Lower Yakima Valley, and maintaining service to Ellensburg.
Other than planning to participate in the Yakima - Ellensburg Commuter, Selah Transit does not have any
significant operating changes planned for the 2013 -2018 period.
