6	Budget Discussion Assumptions for 2009/2010 Sales trends observed in 08/09 will continue No permit fee increase on Academic campus UTS level of service unchanged in 09/10 (route and GPS-based bus locator system) Fuel prices will increase over 08/09 average price Implement $1 > 10PM in Central Grounds Garage Implement planned increase to Mandatory Comprehensive Transportation Fee
7	Budget Discussion Comprehensive Transportation Fee For 2008/2009, BOV approved an increase in the fee from $131 to $144. Multi-year raises required to pay for GPS-based bus locator system. P&T is proposing $8 increase for 2009/2010 After 2009/2010, projected need flattens to $5/year
8	Budget Discussion Comprehensive Transportation Fee GPS system costs $125k/year (not counting cell and staff) Originally project 3 years of $3 increases just to pay for the system. Cell service added to scope. Based on UMD model, assumed $20k/year in costs , which has already been exceeded in first four months of operation Cell service highly utilized (50K calls per month)
9	Budget Discussion Comprehensive Transportation Fee Implementation of planned $8 increase would allow for no change in UTS service hours or time between buses and retention of cell service. If fee is approved at less than $8, either service level or cell service will have to be eliminated. Payment from reserve rather than from fee would further compromise P&T’s reserve targets.
10	Budget Discussion Summary No permit fee increases Need planned $8 increase in Comprehensive Transportation fee Resolution
