Transportation Emerging Issues/Trends Fiscally responsible bus purchase

program has been proposed to re-establish fleet replacement schedule

The cost of parts are escalating at a high rate

Fleet parts, salary, and equipment would have to be increased if the current fleet is maintained

Conclusions

Reduction of materials and supplies by 10% where possible

Utilities held at 2011-2012 budget allocations

Budget proposals reflect increased staffing costs
