Other Information/Assumptions: Fixed-Route – The three fixed routes were realigned two years and people

Other Information/Assumptions: Fixed-Route – The three fixed routes were realigned two years and people are now familiar with these route changes. This was done to create greater efficiency and reduce route duplication. The new Allegheny Community Center, located on the second floor of our transit building is becoming a gathering point in downtown Warren. The third positive issue is the status of the Warren Mall. The mall went through bankruptcy and has been sold to a new developer. These three items will hopefully cause a slow steady increase in ridership. The negative issue for Warren County is the continuing poor economy. A poor economy will obviously affect ridership in a negative fashion. No jobs means reduced work related trips and no jobs means reduced spending for general shopping and reduced shopping trips. Shared Ride – We assume the new Allegheny Community Center will draw seniors to this facility and will therefore generate additional ridership on the Shared Ride buses. A negative factor with this new center is that three senior centers were closed as part of this new Allegheny Community Center. This may create a wash with no significant change in ridership to the nutrition sites. For the first time seniors and escorts are required to pay $. 25 per day for transportation service. A future challenge will be to obtain the necessary local match for all of the senior riders from our program sponsor, Experience Incorporated. 21

Capital Status Review Fixed-Route –Our current capital project is an upgrade of our two-way

Capital Status Review Fixed-Route –Our current capital project is an upgrade of our two-way radio system to meet new FCC regulations regarding narrow bandwidth radio spectrum. A new fleet of five Gillig buses were purchased two years ago. We do not anticipate the need to purchase any buses for at least 12 to 15 years. We recently completed the rehabilitation and construction of our intermodal transit facility at a cost of seven million dollars. This will satisfy any building/facility needs for nearly 40 years. We therefore have no new capital needs for at least 12 -15 years. We plan on replacing our fleet in 2021. Shared Ride – Our current upgrade of our two-way radio system includes the Shared Ride fleet. Our current capital project (FY 11) is for the replacement of two buses. Over each of the next three years we plan on replacing two buses in each of these years as noted on the Northwest TIP for FY 12, FY 13 and FY 14. The long range TIP calls for the following bus replacement – FY 15, FY 16, FY 17 and FY 18, two buses to replace in each of these years. For FY 2220, FY 2224, FY 2228 and FY 2232 four buses to be replaced in each of these years. The recent completion of our transit facility means no building/facility needs for nearly 40 years. This is not to say that we may have some small unforeseen capital projects through this time period affecting both the Shared Ride and Fixed Route programs. 22
