BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS  The FY 17-18 Budget is increasing by $1,685,382, or 7.7%. 

Appropriated Fund Balance use increases from $245,233 in FY 16-17 to $2.1 million in FY 17-18, due to a contract extension for the current transportation contractor until a new agreement for contracted transportation is finalized and begins around mid-year in FY 17-18.  Increases in SCAT ridership is contributing to the 12.6% increase in the SCAT budget and the ridership increases are projected to continue, presenting a cost recovery challenge for the GTA moving forward.  GTA is increasing an IT Analyst from 0.5 FTE to 1.0 FTE, an increase of 0.5 FTE to support an increase in internal application and other technology additions at GTA. They also converted a roster position into a part-time administrative assistant position, adding another 0.75 FTE.  The GTA Board is continuing to review opportunities to improve the long-term financial sustainability of GTA, including through service modifications and plans to conduct a long-range transportation plan during FY 17-18.
