6 Staffing Level/Org Chart Provide a current organization chart with vacant and new positions. Include a justification for new planned positions. Attachment 6A is our organization chart. A new position, mechanic, was added July 1, 2011. This was done with the building completion of our maintenance bays. This was done to provide a much improved response for maintenance along with significant costs savings. We have no other vacant or new positions. From time to time there is a turn over of drivers due to retirement, change of job etc. 6

12 Fuel: Current Cost per Gallon Contract rate or market rate? Gasoline $3.55 Diesel $3.99 Terms of contract (if applicable) N/A United refining Company is located in the City of Warren where they own over 90% of the fueling stations. As such we use them as a sole source. For this United Refining does administer our fuel tax credit program plus give us a volume discount on our bill. Projected Cost per Gallon and Basis for Projection Contract rate or market rate? For the short term future we are projecting market rate increase of $.50/gallon per year. Vary difficult to anticipate what the future cost of fuel will be due to worldwide events. Terms of contract (if applicable) 12

13 Fixed Route Fares: Provide average fare: Current Amount $.68 2015 $.93 Future Amount $.68 2015 $.93 Describe fare policy Adult fare $.75, Children 6-12 years $.40, children under 6 free, transfers free, children to/from school or pools $.25, seniors ride free Fare Type Date of Last Increase Current Amount Date of Planned Increase Amount After Planned Increase Base Fare Nov. 1998$.752015$ 1.00 Transfers N/AFreeN/AFREE Zone Fares N/A Other multi-ride tickets/passes (Add as appropriate) Discount ride punch –ticket savings of 10% 13

14 Shared Ride Fares: Date of Last Fare Increase August 30, 2010 Current Average fare $ 13.50 per trip Sponsorship arrangements - Our local sponsor is Experience Incorporated. They are the umbrella agency for the Warren-Forest Area Agency on Aging. Experience Incorporated pays all of the 15 percent match minus the payment of $.25 per day made from the senior rider. Planned Changes Date of planned increase – FY 2013-14. It is possible for fares to hold steady if our trips increase and our health care costs drop due to participation in a pool program thru SAFTI. Estimated average fare - $13.50 to $14.00 Sponsorship arrangements – Match for seniors will probably increase from $.25 per day to $.25 per trip. This will decrease The Experience Incorporated match Slightly downward. Describe Fare Policy – The fare structure is based on concentric zones. The fare is based on the number of zones traveled. A two tier fare structure is utilized, door to door service and designated stop to designated stop service. The fare for a door to door trip in zone 1 is $ 13.50. The fare for a designated stop to designated stop in zone one is $3.50. 14

15 Other Major Factors Producing Cost Increases Beyond Inflation: FactorsCurrent Amount Projected Future Amount Explanation Example: Subcontracts Example: Employee Retention (Add others or change as appropriate) Fuel Gasoline $ 3.49/gal. Diesel $ 3.99/gal Gasoline $3.99/gal Diesel $ 4.49/gal Unpredictable world market conditions for oil. Health Insurance Premiums Could increase by 15-20 percent unless pool program can be developed thru SAFTI. 15

16 Cost Savings Initiatives: InitiativeCurrent Cost Planned Action and Implementation Date Projected Savings Example: Travel Limitations Example: Compensation Changes Step system in place for up to 30 years of service 3- 4% increase per year. Put a cap in place for wage/salary increases at 30 years of service. No increase in wage/salary after 30 years of service. $ 1,000 a year for employees reaching 30 years of service. (Add others or change as appropriate) In 2012 health insurance will be covered thru SAFTI as a self insured group. 16

21 Other Information/Assumptions: Fixed-Route – The three fixed routes were realigned two years and people are now familiar with these route changes. This was done to create greater efficiency and reduce route duplication. The new Allegheny Community Center, located on the second floor of our transit building is becoming a gathering point in downtown Warren. The third positive issue is the status of the Warren Mall. The mall went through bankruptcy and has been sold to a new developer. These three items will hopefully cause a slow steady increase in ridership. The negative issue for Warren County is the continuing poor economy. A poor economy will obviously affect ridership in a negative fashion. No jobs means reduced work related trips and no jobs means reduced spending for general shopping and reduced shopping trips. Shared Ride – We assume the new Allegheny Community Center will draw seniors to this facility and will therefore generate additional ridership on the Shared Ride buses. A negative factor with this new center is that three senior centers were closed as part of this new Allegheny Community Center. This may create a wash with no significant change in ridership to the nutrition sites. For the first time seniors and escorts are required to pay $.25 per day for transportation service. A future challenge will be to obtain the necessary local match for all of the senior riders from our program sponsor, Experience Incorporated. 21

22 Capital Status Review Fixed-Route – Our current capital project is an upgrade of our two-way radio system to meet new FCC regulations regarding narrow bandwidth radio spectrum. A new fleet of five Gillig buses were purchased two years ago. We do not anticipate the need to purchase any buses for at least 12 to 15 years. We recently completed the rehabilitation and construction of our intermodal transit facility at a cost of seven million dollars. This will satisfy any building/facility needs for nearly 40 years. We therefore have no new capital needs for at least 12-15 years. We plan on replacing our fleet in 2021. Shared Ride – Our current upgrade of our two-way radio system includes the Shared Ride fleet. Our current capital project (FY 11) is for the replacement of two buses. Over each of the next three years we plan on replacing two buses in each of these years as noted on the Northwest TIP for FY 12, FY13 and FY 14. The long range TIP calls for the following bus replacement – FY15,FY16,FY17 and FY 18, two buses to replace in each of these years. For FY2220, FY2224, FY 2228 and FY 2232 four buses to be replaced in each of these years. The recent completion of our transit facility means no building/facility needs for nearly 40 years. This is not to say that we may have some small unforeseen capital projects through this time period affecting both the Shared Ride and Fixed Route programs. 22
