The budget tables include the current year as a base and are projected out to correspond with the Projected Operating Budget presented earlier,however it is anticipated that once funding is identified it will take up to a year to have all the enhancements and expansions at full service levels. It is anticipated that to provide the services detailed in Tier 1,the District will have to hire nearly 30 new employees including full and part-time drivers, as well as support staff such as mechanics and vehicle fuelers. In addition,2-3 additional buses will have to be added to the fleet. There will also be additional costs to the Valley Lift alternative transportation program and estimates of these costs are included in the cost projections. While some funding will come from fare revenues, conservatively estimated at 12%,there are no known sources of funding available from either the State of Oregon or the Federal government. The bulk of the funding for these services will have to come from local sources. Under current consideration are; a 5 year serial property tax levy, and a payroll tax. While the payroll tax is possible the amount it would generate is difficult to determine and there are many requirements that must be met in order to implement it. The most probable funding source would be the 5 year serial property tax levy. It is estimated the levy necessary to implement Tier 1 would be around 30 cents per$1,000 of assessed value. This would be in addition to the fixed property tax rate of 17.7 cents per$1,000 of assessed value currently collected by the District. 78 ROGUE VALLEY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT SYSTEM RIDER_ SHIP 2011-2012 20052006 2006-2007 2007.2008 2008-2009 20W2010 2010-2011 (projected) System Ridership Total Fixed Route 1,316,379 948,666 974,188 1,055,540 979,124 1,063,583 1,116,762 Valley Lift 92,335 51,605 51.922 52,880 51,263 51,595 52,111 Totals 1,408,714 1,000,271 1,026,110 1,108,420 11030,387 1,115 178 1,168,873_ Percentage ChangeinSystem Ridership Total Fixed Route 11.28% -27.93% 2.69% 8.35% -7.24% 8.63% 5.00% Valley Lift -4.07% -44.11% 0.61% 1.85% -3.06% 0.65% 1.00% Totals 10.13% -28.99% 2.58% 8.02% -7.04% 8.23% 4.81% Note:Significant reduction in ridership in Fiscal Year 2006-2007 was due to the elimination of 2 fixed routes and the doubling of fares.
