Summary
Yakima Transit is required, under RCW 35.58.2795, to prepare a Six -Year Transit Development
Plan for the calendar year and the ensuing five years, consistent with the comprehensive plan
required under the Growth Management Act. The Transit Development Plan 2010 -2015 and .
2008 & 2009 Annual Report provides updated information to the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) on development of the various transit components undertaken by
Yakima Transit and contains Yakima Transit's short-range and long -range priorities for public
transportation, capital improvements, and significant operating changes planned for the system
from 2010 -2015. WSDOT uses this information to prepare an annual report for the Washington
State Legislature summarizing the status of public transportation systems in the State. The
Transit Development Plan is due April 1st each year. Yakima Transit has been granted an
extension until May 1, 2010.
• Short - Range and Long - Range Priorities
The document addresses short-range and long -range priorities as identified by City Council and
the State of Washington. Those priorities include: replacing older buses, expanding operation
hours, securing bus service into Selah and Union Gap, building a Westside Transit Center,
linking to neighboring communities, link to regional communities (Ellensburg), and corporate,
maintain, and improve ADA requirements.
Capital Improvements
The document covers capital improvements for the system over the next six years including:
purchasing land for a West Valley Transit Center and constructing a park, park & ride lot, and
operational building for that facility; constructing an East Valley park & ride lot; purchasing as
many as 40 bus shelters to be placed at various locations throughout the system; and, •
purchasing three new replacement fixed -route buses.
Significant Operating Changes Planned for the System
There are no significant operating changes planned for the system; however, there are several
demonstration projects that Yakima Transit is seeking grant funding for. Once the funding is
obtained, Yakima Transit will start the demonstration project at the beginning of the next
quarter. Those demonstration projects include route extensions to Naches - Tieton, Ellensburg,
and Moxee- Terrace Heights; and, extending service later into the evenings and adding Sunday
bus service. Yakima Transit also anticipates a fee increase towards the end of the planning
period, as well as recognizes the recent recession and potential lack of revenue going forward
and potential fuel price increases.

Yakima Transit - Transit Development Plan 2010 & Annual Report for 2008 & 2009.
Introduction •
0 The Transit Development Plan 2010 -2015 and 2008 & 2009 Annual Report provides updated information
to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on development of the various transit
components undertaken by. Yakima Transit. Yakima Transit's 2008 and 2009 accomplishments and
proposed action strategies from 2010 to 2015 are included.
This document is submitted per the requirements of RCW 35.58.2795. Yakima Transit is 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.
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 their public transit system. Public transit service was 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 of 1% sales tax that replaced the City's household tax as the method of
financial support for the transit system.
Organizational Structure
The Yakima City Council is ultimately responsible for all Yakima Transit operations. However, a Transit
Sub- Committee, known as the City Council Transit Committee (CCTC), reviews and oversees the daily
operational activities of the Transit System. They meet monthly with the transit administration staff
members and addresses significant transit related policies and financial issues during open meetings or
public hearings. The CCTC then forwards, to the full City Council, any Transit items of interest.
Citizens may address their transit concerns directly to the City Council Board Members during any
regularly scheduled business meeting. The City Council also solicits public comment on transit specific
issues during the review and adoption of the City's annual budget. All City Council business 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.
Yakima Transit also has a citizen's advisory group that meets once every three months 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.

Employment
As of December 31, 2009, Yakima Transit employed 50 full -time & 12 part-time employees in
Administration & Operations for Fixed Route, Paratransit, and Vanpool services. TC Transportation, our
paratransit contractor, employs 40 employees.
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 completed forms
for our system owned and contracted revenue vehicles and facilities.
Yakima Transit is currently planning for an additional location in the East and West Valley areas.
Yakima Transit expects to purchase the property for the West Valley facility before the end of 2010 and
construct the facility in phases within a five -year period following the land acquisition. Yakima Transit is
also pursuing an East Side Park & Ride near I -82 and SR 24 on City owned property. The Eastside
Facility is anticipated to be operational when the West Valley Transit Center is operational.
Section III: Transportation Service
Services
Yakima Transit falls under the classification of Small Urban Area, because the area served has a
population size between 50,000 and 200,000. During 2008 and 2009, Yakima Transit serviced not only
the City of Yakima but .also the City of Selah, the City of Union Gap, a small area of unincorporated
Terrace Heights, and unincorporated West Valley through the fixed route system. (See attached Service
Area Map)
Yakima Transit offers three different modes of transportation, as well as promotes pedestrian- friendly
road construction and bicycle use. Yakima Transit provides connections to other forms of transportation
including rail, air, and other fixed route services.
Fixed Route
•
Yakima Transit offers fixed route bus service along 10 different routes that operates between 6am and III
7:45pm within the City of Yakima and the City of Selah. During 2008 -2009, Yakima Transit operated as
many as 19 local fixed routes, Monday through Friday, 6:15 am - 6 :45 pm, and 8 fixed- routes on
4
Yakima Transit - Transit Development Plan 2010 & Annual Report for 2008 & 2009.
Saturday, 8:45 am - 6:30 pm. Weekday routes are operated both on an hour and half -hour basis on most
routes. Saturday routes operated on an hourly basis. As of March 2010, Yakima Transit has extended its
• hours to 7:45pm under a demonstration project. Yakima Transit's system map, as illustrated in the
Appendix E, depicts the local fixed routes operated in 2008 and 2009. Expected future fixed routes will
be a minimum of 10 routes in 2010 to a high of 15 routes if commuter routes to neighboring communities
are added.

11 Union Gap (discontinued 2009) Sunday Service will be added sometime during this planning period
'Terrace Heights is also serviced by this route but will likely be discontinued at the end of August 2010.
2 "x" routes are the half -hour route services.
Demand Response
Yakima Transit provided the City of Yakima with paratransit services during calendar years 2008 &
2009. Dial -A -Ride services were available during the same operating days and hours as the scheduled
fixed -route service. In addition, Council policy requires that paratransit services be provided on Sundays
from 8:30am - 1:30pm and holidays with the exception of Memorial and Labor Day. Under contract with
TC Transportation (a private for -profit company), the complementary paratransit service is available to
residents who qualify for service under the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Our
paratransit services provide door -to -door customer service to eligible clients and services the area within
the city limits the Cities of Yakima and Selah and into the City of Union Gap. Over the next six years,
Yakima Transit does not anticipate any changes to the paratransit services offered.
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 has experienced little to no
growth during the reporting periods. There are currently 22 vans 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, but rather
anticipates a 5% growth over the next six years.
Multimodal Connections
Yakima Transit provides service to the following public transportation facilities:
• Greyhound Bus Terminal
• Yakima Airport
• • Lower/Upper Valley Community Connector

Section IV: State & Local Long -Range Public Transportation &
Capital Improvement Priorities
State Priorities
In 2008 & 2009, we 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. In 2009, Yakima Transit
undertook a project to resurface the parking lot at the public works facility. Transit operators
provide quality customer services helping us maintain, preserve, and increase ridership. •
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
6
Yakima Transit - Transit Development Plan 2010 & Annual Report for 2008 & 2009.
transportation customers and the transportation system by adding security cameras on the buses and
a few Dial -A -Ride vehicles. Yakima Transit is in the process of planning security upgrades at the
main public works facility.
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 heavily
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 our downtown
Transit Transfer Center for the Lower Yakima Valley Rural Mobility Shuttle services operated in
partnership by People for People and the Washington State Department of Transportation. 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 through route expansion and operating hour extensions enhances Washington's quality of .
life by promoting energy conservation, enhancing healthy communities, and protecting the
environment. Yakima Transit has purchased newer buses, but due to the cost of the green
technology buses, does not operate greener 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 our service. Routes are constantly being examined
then reexamined to determine their efficiency. Surveys are also conducted annually to determine
actual ridership.. That information is used to help determine what may have caused increases or
decreases in ridership along those routes.
Local Priorities
Yakima Transit in 2008 & 2009 continued to implement the following Council Transit Taskforce
approved actions:
1. Replace six older coaches with new low floor units. Yakima Transit will receive, in September
2010, five new ADA compliant, 35 -foot low floor Gillig buses. Yakima Transit anticipates adding
three more if grant funding is available. Yakima Transit also purchased three new 15- passenger
cutaway vans (delivered Dec. 2009) and will be purchasing two minivans and two more 15-
passenger cutaway vans in 2010. •
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 has
expanded the hours of service by one hour in the evening. Saturday service has not expanded
beyond its existing service and there still is no Sunday service, although it is anticipated that
Yakima Transit will start limited Sunday service in 2011, depending on the financial outlook.
3. Secure permanent funding for bus service to the Selah and Union Gap operations. Yakima
Transit obtained grant funding to expand service to surrounding suburbs; which ultimately the City
of Selah has funded and expanded both the route, hours of service, and added a half -hour service.
The City of Union Gap has secured its own permanent funding through sales tax and operates its
own service through a contractor.
4. Build a new Westside transfer location in the annexed areas around 72nd Avenue. Yakima
Transit has initiated the process to purchase property for a new transit facility; however, due to the
high cost of property along 72nd Ave. and the need to be further out in the West Valley area,
Yakima Transit has chosen to locate near the intersection at 96th Ave. and Wide Hollow Rd. The
• facility's construction may be delayed due to economic conditions:
7
Yakima. Transit - Transit Development Plan 2010 & Annual Report for 2008 & 2009.
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.
• In 2009, Yakima Transit pursued the Terrace Heights Extension. Early indications are that
the Terrace Heights extension will not be funded beyond the initial demonstration project.
The City of Yakima and Yakima County are unable to continue the service, in Terrace
Heights (Yakima County jurisdiction), at this time due to current economic conditions. In
order to continue the service in the future, it will likely 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 has
decided to continue to fund the route and, as of March 1, 2010, has extended the route further
into their community and added an additional of half -hour service.
6. Offer regional transit service connections to Kittitas County (Ellensburg /CWU Campus). A
demonstration project to the City of Ellensburg in Kittitas County was funded, but the connecting
leg from Ellensburg was not. The project required that the customers transfer at a point between
Yakima and Ellensburg. Without the Ellensburg link, Yakima Transit could not continue the
demonstration alone.
A request for funding to complete the demonstration project will be resubmitted, however this time,
as a joint application between Yakima Transit and Hope Source Ellensburg. The Yakima portion of
the route will start at YVCC, go to CWU, and end at YVCC. Ellensburg's portion of the route will
do the same route in reverse, start at CWU, go to YVCC, and end at CWU. Each agency will make
three runs during each weekday.
7. Continue to incorporate /maintain/improve ADA requirements within our transit system.
Yakima Transit continues its efforts to maintain and improve ADA access within the system. All of
the recently purchased vehicles are ADA accessible. Yakima Transit continues to work on the
automated stop announcements and readerboards to make sure they are working. In 2008 & 2009,
several vehicles were upgraded to be ADA accessible.
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, the major capital investment portions of the items
listed below will be delayed to the following year or later. The major improvements planned include the
following: construction of a West Valley Transit Center and East Valley Transit Center, and an increase
the number of bus shelters along our routes.
Capital Improvement Priorities
Year Capital Improvement (Italicized if requires /anticipates needed grant funding)

Yakima Transit - Transit Development Plan 2010 & Annual Report for 2008 & 2009.
Section V: Significant Operating Changes Planned, 2010 2015 .
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 late 2007. •
Maintaining our existing service level should not be an issue over the next couple years as the economy
slowly rebounds. Yakima Transit anticipates growth in the system between 2010 & 2015. Operating
activities, for 2010 — 2015, focus on maintaining .existing service levels and expanding services to
neighboring bedroom communities, adding additional routes, and constructing a new facility in the West
Valley Area to accommodate new residential growth.
Proposed Services Changes
Year Service Improvement (Italicized if requires /anticipates needed grant funding)
2010 Seek to maintain Terrace Heights Route. Extend hours of operation. Expand services later in the evenings
and earlier in the mornings. Extend route in Selah.
2011 Seek to maintain Terrace Heights Route. Maintain extended hours. Add commuter service to Moxee-
Terrace Heights, Ellensburg (to Firing Centel), and Naches - Tieton.
2012 Maintain route expansion into Moxee - Terrace Heights, Ellensburg (to Firing Center), & Naches- Tieton.
2013 Expand howl from 6am to 9pm on all routes.
2014 Maintain expansion of hours. Expand Terrace Heights' service (to include routes along Butterfield or Keys
road into the Boise Cascade site).
2015 Maintain expansion into Terrace Heights from Boise Cascade property. Expand service to Ahtanum and.
Wiley City.
0 ' Section VI: 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), fare boxes, single ticket and monthly ticket
sales, and reimbursement from other jurisdictions. Annual operating revenues, exclusive of capital
reserve transfers, were $7.19M for 2008, a 7% increase from 2007, and $6.89M for 2009, a 4% decline
from 2008. Capital reserves were set aside from sales tax for both years. Annual operating revenues are
expected to remain steady or decline slightly from 2009 to 2010.
Grant Funding - Operating
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 demonstration projects), and other demonstration projects.
The annual operating grant is a necessity to providing services to Yakima commuters. With the 2010
census update, Yakima Transit anticipates additional funding beyond previous years. Although the
Yakima area doesn't typically have huge growth spurts, Yakima's population has grown due to large crop
production (mainly cherries, apples, grapes, and hops) in • the last couple years, as well as
changes /expansions in the manufacturing industry.
A two -year CMAQ demonstration project was funded in 2007 for the City of Selah and Union Gap. This
grant supported a commuter bus making 29 round trips per weekday to the City of Selah. An extension
iio into the City of Union Gap was also included in the funding package. Following that demonstration
project, the City of Selah contracted with the City of Yakima to continue the service, while the City of
Union Gap discontinued their route after a short City of Union Gap funded extension. The City of Union

Gap has since provided a free alternative service through TC Transport. As of March 1, 2010, the City of
Selah extended the services that they provide to commuters beyond the demonstration routes. Selah also
has half -hour service, which wasn't part of the demonstration project. Because of the City of Selah ®'
continued its services, Yakima and Selah will in the near future seek additional funding for another
demonstration project that will fund a route extension from the City of Selah to the Yakima Military
Training Center.
A one -year CMAQ demonstration project was funded to provide service to the unincorporated area of
Terrace Heights. The demonstration project began on July 1, 2009 and ends July 31, 2010. The Terrace
Heights' portion of the route is four miles long and provides services to the newly established Pacific
Northwest University School of Osteopathy. At this time it is doubtful if the service will continue.
Yakima County has jurisdiction over that area and with the current recession cannot justify funding the
extension in light of other budget cuts. An extension of the CMAQ grant would allow the route to
establish ridership provide justification for continued service. Even if ridership is strong, Yakima County
may still decide to not fund the service, which would delay other route extensions into Terrace Heights.
There are roughly 9,000 residents in Terrace Heights and no other bus service available.
In March 2010, Yakima Transit extended their hours of operation as a demonstration project through a
Job Access and Reverse Commute Grant. If successful, the service will continue beyond the
demonstration period and Yakima Transit will also consider additional time expansions allowing more
people to work later into the evenings increasing the available workforce for agricultural, service, and
manufacturing industries.
Operating Expenditures
Total operating expenses for 2008 were $7.32M, a 15% increase from 2007, and for 2009 $6.83M, a 7%
decrease from 2008. Operating expenses, excluding fuel costs, remain fairly consistent from year to year
in relation to operating revenues. Yakima Transit anticipates an increase of 5 -8% increase in the majority
of operating costs including salaries & benefits, insurance, and utility expenses. A contingency plan has
been prepared for a rational worst case scenario, based on recent declines, which would require us to cut
services or staff.
Gasoline prices have averaged under $3 a gallon for the past three years. However, gasoline prices are
anticipated to increase over the summer of 2010 and will likely remain a little bit above $3 a gallon from
that point into the future. With that being said, we believe there is a direct relationship to gasoline prices
that will cause an increase in ridership over the next couple years that will not go below the base ridership
that services those individuals who must rely on public transportation for their commuting needs. Since
2007, ridership has slightly increased with a spike in ridership in September and October of 2008
following the high gas price period, July of 2008. Yakima Transit had its highest ridership ever during
September and October of 2008. To compensate for a potential increase in ridership over another
potential gasoline spike, Yakima Transit has purchased new buses with more capacity. Yakima Transit
will also look to add additional services on some routes, particularly through the addition of new routes
that serve other areas, but travel through areas with higher ridership to offset overcrowded buses.

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 sales taxes revenue increases above what was originally anticipated throughout the year, those
additional funds are typically transferred to the capital reserve account. if operating expenses are higher
or marginal than operating revenue, it will affect our ability to complete capital projects anticipated.
Yakima Transit anticipates that $400,000 annually will be set aside in the capital reserve account for
capital projects. 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 need 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 economy
continues to be sluggish, it will delay the ability for Yakima Transit to continue forward with the planned .
capital improvement projects.
