14. Funding Challenges Need to develop 50% local match for federal grants, but local sources are diminishing – BETC phasing out – PEP gone, DHS gone, COCOA ½ former level – City of Bend commitment to $1 million in local match/year expires in 2015 Makes it very difficult to spend time improving the system (chasing $) Difficult to plan for future service. Driving potential service cutbacks to regional system over next two years LINK
