DISCUSSION:
The CY2023 Budget includes Operating and Capital expenditures that pursue the agency’s mission of providing safe and reliable transit service and a world-class rider experience to its customers. Highlighting this year’s budget are the following capital initiatives: (1) Design Downtown Transit Center ($2,000,000); (2) Continue planning Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) ($500,000).
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The CY2023 Operating Budget includes revenues of $123,004,292 and expenses of $125,288,327. Operating revenues for CY2023 are increasing by 27.7% while operating expenses are increasing by 8.13% from the CY2022 Budget.

Government operating assistance for CY2023 is expected to offer $34,185,851 in funding, offsetting the budget deficit largely created by the impact of COVID-19 on the transit system.
