Intercity Transit seeks public input on the annual update of its Transit Development Plan.The comment period will culminate with a public hearing on Wednesday, August 20, 2014, at 5:30 p.m., at Intercity Transit’s business office, 526 Pattison Street SE. Routes 62A, 62B, 66, and Dial-A-Lift (for certified riders) 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 provides a summary of Intercity Transit’s 2013 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 2014-2019 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) 2013 agency accomplishments; (2) operating changes anticipated between 2014 and 2019; and (3) operating and capital financial elements projected for 2014-2019.
