6 Staffing Level/Org Chart At the current time we are considering no new positions, however looking forward One(1) new position may be considered. A Part time Marketing intern form the local university (IUP). Our Staff is currently at capacity in workload. The time needed to continually promote transit is always at the bottom of the list, and it shouldn’t be. With the elimination of the PWD / Shared ride scheduler we have the current office space available to house this position on a short term basis. 6

31 Other Information/Assumptions: Fixed-Route – Based on historical data we expect ridership to grow. We are currently averaging a 3- 5 percent increase This is due to White Twp. population growth and the growth of local universities (IUP & Wyotech).All of the Shopping Plazas are being built with out walking access from IUP and the boro which will continue to drive our ridership. Recently contacted by a developer for additional service to a new 140 unit complex. Complex outside of Boro where no service exsists Shared Ride – We project ridership to stay constant but trips will become longer due to clients moving out of Indiana boro and White Twp. In addition we expect costs to increase based on the cost of fuel and the increase of wages. We would expect some further efficiencies once scheduling software is made available. 31

32 Capital Status Review Fixed-Route – In the near future we will be faced with the necessity of replacing our bus fleet. The current requirements of local match will make this almost impossible to accomplish. We must continue to operate CNG vehicles when ever possible to take advantage of the savings in fuel cost. We are taking advantage of rehabilitation projects whenever possible to continue to use our current equipment. Shared Ride – We expect to replace a high roof van and an accessible mini van yearly. Mileage will continue to increase as more seniors are moving further from the Boro and White Twp in search of less costly housing. 32
