Submitted by Intercity Transit
Intercity Transit seeks public input on its draft six-year Transit Development Plan now through August 21. The comment period will culminate with a public hearing on Wednesday, August 21, 2013, at 5:30 p.m., at Intercity Transit’s business office, 526 Pattison Street SE. Routes 62A, 62B, and 66 serve this location.
The Transit Development Plan (TDP) reports on Intercity Transit’s annual operating budget, capital investment, and business strategies and is submitted to the Washington State Department of Transportation in the fall as required by state law. The TDP is updated annually with input from staff, citizens, and the Intercity Transit Authority, the nine-member governing board.
The TDP provides a summary of Intercity Transit’s 2012 activities with operational highlights for the past year. It also provides a summary of service and facility changes anticipated for the next six years as required by Washington State. The 2013 through 2018 TDP assumes service levels will remain steady over the next few years and reflects a modest level of sales tax revenue, Intercity Transit’s primary source of operating income.
This year’s TDP describes: (1) 2012 agency accomplishments (2) operating changes anticipated between 2013 and 2018 and (3) operating and capital financial elements projected for 2013-2018.
