CHAPTER 6 6.1 PUBLIC TRANSIT

6.1.1 INTRODUCTION

Eastgate’s urbanized area is often referred to as the Youngstown OH-PA urban area boundary. This bi-state urban boundary was re-designated by the 2010 Census and is illustrated in Map 6.1.1. The Bureau of the Census released the urban area populations on March 27, 2012. The Bureau of the Census establishes urbanized areas or clusters every ten years by identifying concentrations of urban populations and densities, within a census tract or block. The urban boundaries distinguish Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO’s), Transportation Management Areas (TMA), and population within an MPO and TMA area.

The delineation of an urban area is pertinent to the distribution and allocation of several federal funding programs for highway and transit. Unlike highway funding that is distributed and programmed by each state, transit funding is distributed and programmed by the Youngstown, OH-PA urban boundary. Population and other factors are used by the transit systems to determine transit allocations for each state.

The 2010 Census population for the Youngstown, OH-PA urban area is 387,550. The population of this bi-state region as documented in the previous 2000 Census was listed as 417,437. Within a ten year period, the population in this region decreased by 7.15 percent. The 2000 Urban Area Boundary Map is illustrated in Map 6.1.2.

The illustration in Map 6.1.3 compares the 2000 and 2010 urbanized areas, as defined by the Census, which were added or deleted to the Youngstown, OH-PA bi-state region. The red shaded areas show that 30.2 square miles was added to the new urban boundary in 2010. The blue shaded areas indicate that 16.2 square miles was deleted from the 2000 urban area. Portions of Lawrence County, PA were added to the new urban boundary, and the urbanized area in Mercer County expanded. According to the 2010 Census, the total population in Mahoning County is 238,823, and 210,312 is listed for Trumbull County. Mercer and Lawrence County population is listed as 116,636, and 91,108 respectively.

The 2010 Youngstown OH-PA Urban Area Boundary as illustrated in Map 6.1.3 incorporates the following areas in Pennsylvania: Clark and West Middlesex Boroughs, Shenango and South Pymatuning Townships, the City of Hermitage, and Lawrence County.

Eastgate is only responsible for documenting and programming transit planning activities for the Western Reserve Transit Authority (WRTA), and a newly formed transit system in Trumbull County called the Trumbull Transit System (TTS), formerly known as Niles Trumbull Transit (NiTTS). The Mercer County Council of Government (MCCOG), and the Mercer County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MCMPO) manage the Shenango Valley Shuttle Service (SVSS), and transit funding is programmed in their locally developed TIP. Eastgate will continue to keep an open dialog with our sister agency in Mercer, PA through the Comprehensive, Coordinated, and Continuous “3C” planning process for regional transit planning activities in the bi-state urban area.

The WRTA has been a regional transit authority since 1971, and is a designated recipient of federal transit funding in the Ohio portion of the urbanized area. The WRTA provides fixed route and paratransit services in Mahoning County, and in several areas of Trumbull County. The WRTA implemented the EasyGo County-wide demand response service for Mahoning County in 2009. The EasyGo incorporates transit services beyond their fixed route service area boundary map. The WRTA service area is illustrated in Maps 6.1.4, 6.1.5, and 6.1.6.

The public transit system in Trumbull County has been undergoing a major transition since 2011. The City of Warren is the designated recipient of federal transit funding for Trumbull County. The City of Warren on March 14, 2001, authorized the City of Niles as a “designated sub-recipient” of federal transit funding for Trumbull County. The City of Niles notified the Trumbull County Commissioners on April 7, 2011, that they were contemplating relinquishing the management and operations of the Niles Trumbull Transit System (NiTTS). The City of Niles managed the operations of NiTTS from September 15, 2003 until January 7, 2012. The operation of NiTTS was delivered by a private sector provider through a capital cost of contract with the City of Niles. Currently, the City of Niles no longer assumes the grantee role of “designated sub-recipient status” of federal transit funding for Trumbull County.

On December 14, 2011, the City of Warren terminated the arrangement of “designated sub-recipient” with the City of Niles, which was recorded in Warren’s Ordinance Number 12376/11. The City of Warren also integrated in this ordinance that the newly formed Trumbull County Transit Board (TCTB) would assume the grantee role of “designated sub-recipient status” of federal transit funding for Trumbull County. The newly formed TCTB would therefore manage a demand response transit system in Trumbull County similar to NiTTS. The transit system in Trumbull County is now referred to as Trumbull Transit System (TTS).

The legal documentation on the transit transition continued as the Trumbull County Commissioners formed the TCTB on July 27, 2011. This board was formed in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code Sections 306.01 through 306.13, and is recorded in the Trumbull County Commission’s Journal - Volume 136, Page 16099.

On December 28, 2011, the TCTB would assume the existing contract that the City of Niles had with a private sector provider to provide transit services in Trumbull County. This was documented in a “Comfort Letter” between the TCTB and the private sector provider. It is also understood by all parties that the TCTB does not have the financial capacity by which it can make an allocation to accept the financial terms and conditions of the existing contract. This arrangement was formally documented in the TCTB Resolution Number 2012-5 on January 23, 2012. The TCTB continues to manage the operations of the TTS and will continue to secure funding in 2012 or 2013.

As Trumbull County continues through this transit transition, Eastgate will continue to document the transit service as it currently stands for the publication of this FY2013-FY2017 TDP.

It is proposed that the TCTB will continue to operate the same service area that NiTTS previously provided in Trumbull County. This is illustrated in Map 6.1.7. Currently, it is anticipated that the TCTB will enter into written agreements with several participating communities that have agreed to pay a per capital fee for the use of this service; and residents living in those communities would receive a discounted fare.

Map 6.1.7 – Trumbull Transit System Service Area

The City of Niles previously had this type of funding arrangements with different communities, cities, villages and townships as illustrated in Map 6.1.8. Map 6.1.8 – Trumbull Transit System Participating Communities

The transit system that operates in the urban area of Pennsylvania is called the Shenango Valley Shuttle Service (SVSS). The City of Sharon is the designated recipient of transit funding for the Pennsylvania portion of the urban area. The SVSS provides fixed route bus service for the Cities of Sharon, Farrell, Hermitage; and the Borough’s of Sharpsville, and Wheatland. For additional information on the SVSS, visit their website at: http://svss.mcrcog.com.

In late December 2009, ODOT’s Office of Transit and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region – V, requested that all designated Metropolitan Planning Organizations in Ohio assist them with collecting and updating the local transit agencies authorized “Designated Recipients” status of FTA’s Urbanized Area Formula Programs. On January 25, 2010, Eastgate’s General Policy Board approved Resolution #063-2009 re-affirming that the authorized “Designated Recipients” of FTA’s funding programs for the Ohio portion of Eastgate’s urbanized area, are the Western Reserve Transit Authority and the City of Warren.

The complexity to re-designate a bi-state urban area for FTA formula programs would require all designated recipients operating in the bi-state urban area to agree on adding or deleting any current or future designated recipients. That process would require the following agencies to concur on any designation changes for our urban area: Eastgate, the Mercer County Regional Planning Commission, the Mercer County Council of Governments, the Mercer County Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Governor’s from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Eastgate, in consultation with all the agencies listed above, agreed that it would be best to leave the designations as they exist today.

With the addition of a small portion of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania incorporated in the 2010 Youngstown OH-PA urban area, it is likely that a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between OH and PA will be developed with our sister agencies in PA. Since Lawrence County is located within Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC), Eastgate and Mercer will coordinate the development of a new MOU. For additional information on SPC, visit their website at: http://www.spcregion.org/about.shtml.

6.1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

WRTA Goals

The following goals were created in 1984 by the WRTA Board of Directors and remain in effect today.

• To increase the service area of the WRTA.

• To provide transit service at a reasonable cost for the transit user, and the taxpayers supporting the system.

• To provide a transit system that is economically efficient and environmentally friendly.

• To encourage transit use by providing service that is reliable, convenient, safe and user friendly.

WRTA Objectives

• Increase ridership by expanding promotional service programs through media, marketing, and service literature distribution.

• To develop a county-wide system that incorporates and inter-mixes express routes, park and ride lots, vanpooling, subscription services, contract services, coordinated services, and point deviated fixed route services with existing fixed and paratransit services. • Shape economic development with the assistance of county officials, and businesses, by centering job employment opportunities near transit access.

WRTA Operational Standards

System Coverage – A performance measure of system coverage is considered deficient if the route spacing is more than 3/8 to 1/2 miles for areas of medium to high population density (over 6 dwellings per acre), or more than 1/2 to 1 miles for areas of low population density. System coverage is also considered deficient if the walking distance is further than 3/16 to 1/4 miles for areas of medium to high population density, or more than 3/8 to 1/2 miles for areas of low population density.

Service Levels – The performance measure service level of a route is considered deficient if the route does not meet the following headway (Exhibit 6.1.2) criteria, or if more than 25% of the passengers are required to transfer. A route is also considered to be deficient if the passenger standing load factor is 150% of the seating capacity during peak operating hours, or 100% in the non-peak hours. A route will also be considered deficient if passenger standing time exceeds 10 to 15 minutes.

WRTA Existing Routes

The WRTA has operated fixed route transit services in Mahoning and portions of Trumbull Counties since 1971. The transit system has also provided demand response “Special Service Transportation (SST)” for the elderly and disabled since 1978. The WRTA implemented county-wide transit services in Mahoning County in the fall of 2009. The WRTA’s new service area measures 452.4 square miles, and is illustrated in Map 6.1.9.

Map 6.1.9 – Western Reserve Transit Authority Service Area

Prior to the implementation of county-wide transit services, the WRTA’s service area measured 62.8 square miles.

Federal and state financial assistance to provide transit services for Eastgate’s urbanized area has continuously changed since 2007. Operational challenges faced by the WRTA included reducing operating cost by implementing service cuts, and increasing fares to offset funding shortages. The most important challenge the transit system considered, was to minimize the service impacts to individuals needing access to employment, education, shopping, medical appointments, and social services. The could not withstand another economic hardship with the elimination of public transportation, so immediate action was taken by the WRTA to re-structure the financial and operational component of the transit system.

The WRTA addressed the future of transit services and their financial stability by reintroducing a ¼ percent sales tax initiative to the Mahoning County Board of County Commissioners. The City of Youngstown was the only community financially supporting WRTA’s operation of transit services with a total of 5-mills of property tax. This city based transit system could no longer financially support the mobility needs of all individuals in the urbanized area. On November 2, 2008, Mahoning county voters approved the ¼ percent sales tax initiative to support and operate a county-wide transit system. The WRTA in the fall of 2009, unveiled the demand response EasyGo county-wide transit services. Prior to voter approval of the ¼ percent sales tax, the WRTA re-evaluated the operational structure of route service funded by federal and state grant programs. The first round of service cuts occurred on April 1, 2007, with the elimination of the 37 - Hillman route, the 39 - Warren/Express route, seven Nightline routes, and the downtown Trolley that circulated around the City of Youngstown Central Business District (CBD).

The second round of service cuts occurred on June 10, 2007, with the elimination of the 31 - Wilson route. The third round of cuts took place on September 2, 2007. Saturday service was eliminated and service modifications were made offering two hour service during midday to the following routes: the 32 - Mosier, the 33 - Buckeye, the 33 - Fifth, the 34 - Steal, the 35 - Cornersburg, the 36 - McGuffey, and the 37- Albert. Escalating fuel costs caused the WRTA to make additional operational service cuts. The WRTA eliminated the 33 - Buckeye and the 40 - Austintown routes on April 12, 2008. Route modifications were made to the 31 - Elm, the 32 - Mosier, and the 33 - Fifth to increase operational efficiency and ridership.

The WRTA’s re-organization and fiscal watch for the past three years has resulted in the reinstatement of route service in the beginning of 2009.

On February 2, 2009, the WRTA reinstated the 32 - Wilson, 33 - Buckeye, 40 - Austintown, Saturday service, and six Nightline routes. The 31 - Oak, and the 35 - South routes were customized to increase operational efficiency and ridership.

The 32 – Wilson route was modified on September 12, 2010. This route was previously known as the Wilson/Struthers Route. The WRTA during this time added the 33 – Buckeye/Struthers route and the 33 - Struthers Buckeye route to provide additional service into Struthers, Ohio.

On September 11, 2011, the WRTA reinstated and modified the 39 - Warren Express route. The route connects Mahoning and Trumbull Counties and provides service from the City of Youngstown to the City of Warren. Also during that same time period, the WRTA merged the 53 - Boardman West Loop into the 54 - Boardman East Loop.

Youngstown State University is serviced by the following fixed routes: the 31 - Oak, 31 - Elm, 33 - Fifth, 36 - McGuffey, 37 - Albert, and the 38 - Belmont. A passenger can request a route deviation to YSU only on certain inbound and outbound trips. The routes that deviate to YSU are the 32 - Mosier, 35 - South, 36 - Glenwood, and the 38 - Market. All route deviations are identified in WRTA’s route schedules.

The following routes do not serve the YSU Campus because of restricted time schedules: 33 -Buckeye/Struthers, 33 - Struthers/Buckeye, 34 - Steel, 35 - Cornersburg, and the 40 - Austintown.

In addition, WRTA established new suburban loop services in Boardman, Canfield, and Austintown. Furthermore, the WRTA restored Saturday fixed route and SST service, and improved the frequencies of headway times on selected routes.

The WRTA existing route descriptions are listed below and illustrated in Map – 6.1.5 and 6.1.6. Additional Route information can also be found on: www.wrta.online.com. Map 6.1.5 – Western Reserve Transit Authority Fixed Route System

WRTA Paratransit Service

The WRTA also operates a complementary paratransit service in addition to their regular transit service. The paratransit service has been in operation since 1978, and is known as the WRTA Special Service Transportation (SST). The SST service is available to individuals who have registered as ADA eligible and/or senior citizens 65 years and older. Advance reservation is required for an individual to use the SST service. The SST service area is a 3/4 mile boundary around a fixed route service line, and is illustrated in Map 6.1.5.

The WRTA paratransit service operates the same days and hours as their fixed route service. The fare for the paratransit service is $2.50. Persons who accompany paratransit passengers pay the same fare. There are three exceptions to this standard fare:

• Persons who purchase monthly passes can use their passes instead of paying a fare.

• Children under six years of age do not pay a fare when traveling with a paratransit rider from the same origin and destination, and

• A person designated as a Personal Care Attendant (PCA) rides for free when traveling with a paratransit rider from the same origin and destination. Map 6.1.5 – Western Reserve Transit Authority Fixed Route System

EasyGo County-Wide Demand Response Service

The WRTA’s EasyGo demand response service is available for individuals residing in Mahoning County communities not serviced by the WRTA’s existing fixed routes and the SST services. This service was made possible by the ¼ percent sales tax that voters passed in November 2008.

The EasyGo service is available Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday service is available from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Reservations are required to schedule a trip on the EasyGo. The EasyGo registration forms can be found on line at www.wrtaonline.com.

The EasyGo Service was implemented on September 9, 2009. The WRTA’s ridership for this program from September to December 2009 reached to 839 passengers. The EasyGo annual ridership reached 7,078 in 2010. In annual ridership for 2011 increased to 9,973. The growth in ridership for the EasyGo demand response service is represented in Figure 6.1.1. The ridership data for the EasyGo program are not combined with the WRTA existing annual ridership data as illustrated in Figure 6.1.2.

WRTA Ridership

Figure 6.1.2 represents the WRTA’s annual ridership from 1997 to 2010. WRTA shows an increase in annual passengers from 1997 to 2006, of over 1.0 million to 1.6 million passengers. Any service cuts that a transit system implements is always reflected in their ridership levels. When the WRTA implemented service cuts in 2007, their ridership declined to approximately 1.1 million passengers. Ridership declined to 908,513 annual riders in 2008, when the WRTA made additional service cuts to survive the impacts of a recession. The WRTA annual ridership in 2009 was 1,027,186, and in 2010 ridership increased to 1,285,009. The WRTA ridership continues to growth as their 2011 annual ridership reached 1,331,148.

Status of NiTTS

The City of Niles no longer manages the operation of NiTTS as of January 7, 2012. The NiTTS service began providing demand-response service to Trumbull County in September 2003. It was determined by the City of Niles that they could no longer financially sustain a growing demand respond county transit system without a dedicated local funding stream to match federal and state grants.

The Friends of the Niles Trumbull Transit Committee initiated a campaign to place a Trumbull County ½ mill property tax on the ballot in November 2011. The effort to secure a dedicated local funding stream for transit was defeated by 64.33 percent. Conceivably in the near future the Trumbull County Transit Board will explore options to financially support and manage a demand response transit system in Trumbull County.

Figure 6.1.3 represents NiTTS annual ridership from the start of the service in September 15, 2003, to the end of the service on January 7, 2012. Annual ridership for NiTTS reached: 3,451 in 2003, 23,098 in 2004, 22,217 in 2005, 23,593 in 2006, 31,910 in 2007, 53,158 in 2008, 69,733 in 2009, 65,528 in 2010 and 58,243 in 2011. NiTTS ridership for the last seven days of operation from January 1 to January 7, 2012 was 793.

Status of TTS

The Trumbull County Transit Board (TCTB) began management of a demand response service called the Trumbull Transit System (TTS) on January 8, 2012. As mentioned earlier in the report, the TCTB is transitioning into the beginning stages of managing and operating a transit system in Trumbull County. It should be noted that at the time of this TDP publication, the monetary contributions from participating communities, and any new transportation contracts with other agencies and the TCTB have not been officially confirmed with Eastgate. (Exhibit 6.1.6 (1))

The following service description for TTS was previously the same information from the City of Niles regarding the NiTTS service. It is anticipation that the TCTB would sustain the same level of service, and acquire new agreements with participating communities and other agencies in Trumbull County. Any future transportation plans for TTS would require TCTB’s approval.

The TCTB is looking to acquire new written agreements with the following participating communities and agencies in CY2012: the City of Cortland, Girard, Hubbard, Niles, and Warren; Village of McDonald, and the townships of Howland, Liberty, and Weathersfield.

Exhibit 6.1.6 – TTS Anticipated Funding Sources (1)

City of Cortland $3,415 City of Girard $5,500 City of Hubbard $4,142 City of Niles $10,500 City of Warren $23,416 Howland Township $8,750 Liberty Township $6,750 Village of McDonald $1,750 Weathersfield Township $4,380 Lifelines $30,000 Trumbull County $580,000

TOTAL $678,603

TTS Goals and Objectives

• TTS goals and objectives have not been formally approved and adopted by the TCTB.

• Serving individuals who have no alternative means of mobility to satisfy their basic needs.

• Expanding service to human and social service agency clientele.

• Serving senior citizens and the disabled, especially focusing on those who would benefit from mobility services to continue living independently.

• Meeting the requirements of those in the workforce, those entering the workforce, and employers, especially employers who are willing to subsidize or contribute to employees using community transportation.

• Assist individuals in high school and after high school that are participating in skill-based education and/or training to improve their employment opportunities.

• Transporting high school students, enabling schools to redirect their valuable resources, creating greater flexibility for school schedules and for after-school activities, eliminating dedicated school bus service to this population.

TTS Fare Structure

TTS has two fare structures for their demand response county-wide transit service in Trumbull County. If a resident lives in a participating community that financially supports the TTS transit system, that individual receives the discounted fare (Exhibit 6.1.7). Non-participating communities (Exhibit 6.1.8) pay a higher fare than participating communities. TTS anticipated service area with the participating communities is illustrated in Map 6.1.8. Exhibit 6.1.7 – TTS Transit Fees – Participating Communities (2012)

Discounted Fares for Participating Communities General Public $4.00 Persons 60 years of age and older $1.50 Disabled $1.50 Youth (age 2 to 12) $1.50

Fares are based on one-way trips. Children under 2 and personal care attendants ride for free

Fares are based on one-way trips.

6.1.3 PROPOSED FIXED ROUTES

For many years the WRTA requested that Eastgate include fifteen bus routes for regional expansion in Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Seven routes were outlined for Mahoning County, and eight routes were identified for Trumbull County. Several unforeseen events took place that postponed WRTA’s decision to implement new routes in the urbanized area.

The first event occurred when Eastgate’s urbanized area was re-designated into a bi-state urban region. This was a direct result of the 2000 Census redefining the urban boundary. Federal allocations appropriated for the Youngstown, OH-PA urban area, now requires an annual Letter of Agreement to sub-allocate transit funding from existing transit systems operating in the bi-state urbanized area.

Other events that influenced the implementation of transit services in an area are changes in federal transportation legislation, the decline of state and local financial assistances, and escalating fuel cost. The WRTA felt the impacts of these compounding events, and plans were underway to aggressively re-structure the entire system. With the passage of the Mahoning County ¼ percent transit sales tax, the WRTA restructured and reassessed transit services in their service area.

Four of the seven proposed Mahoning County routes that were previously indentified were implemented with new routes by merging a few proposed routes into existing routes. The previous routes documented in last year’s TDP as the 2 - Boardman, and the 3 - Boardman routes were implemented in the fall of 2009. These two routes are now called the 51 - Canfield to Boardman, and the 52 - Boardman to Canfield Loop Service. The route descriptions are listed in Section II under Suburban Loop Service, and are illustrated in Map 6.1.11.

Maps 6.1.11 – Western Reserve Transit Authority Suburban Loop Service Routes 51 and 52

The 19 - Canfield Southern Park route was previously identified as the 53 - Boardman West Loop, and the 54 - Boardman East Loop Service. These two loop service routes were merged into each other on September 11, 2011, and is now called the 54 - Boardman East Loop. The Suburban Loop Service is illustrated in Map 6.1.12.

Maps 6.1.12 – Western Reserve Transit Authority Suburban Loop Service Route 54

The fourth proposed route, known as the 23 - Campbell in a previous TDP, was merged into the 31 - Oak and the 32 - Wilson route. The 32-Wilson route was modified in September 12, 2010.

The following consideration and variables are taken into account when WRTA implements a new route: • demographic and population density of potential transit riders, • the establishment of park and ride lots to exchange and collect passengers, • the use of advertising and marketing techniques to attract passengers, • updating fare structure for the types of services provided, • securing and expanding local financial support, • securing federal and state capital grant assistance, and • coordinating transit services with public, private, and non-profit organizations.

Mahoning County Proposed Fixed Route

Currently, the WRTA has one proposed route to implement in Mahoning County.

17 - Poland/Southern Park Mall The 17 - Poland/ Southern Park Mall route would connect the Village of Poland to the Southern Park Mall, traveling east on US-224, and then west to Poland Township via SR-170 and North Lima Road.

Trumbull County Proposed Fixed Route

The WRTA identified eight proposed fixed routes to service Trumbull County. Seven routes would provide service around transit trip generators located in the City of Warren. The last route would link transit services between Mahoning and Trumbull Counties by traveling on the US-422 corridor.

The route that was proposed previously, linking Mahoning and Trumbull Counties was called the 40 - Youngstown/Warren route. The WRTA made modifications to this route and is now called the 39 - Warren Express. The WRTA implemented this cross county transit route on September 11, 2011. A detail description of this route can be found in Section II of the TDP.

There are seven additional fixed routes propose by WRTA for Trumbull County. The routes are illustrated in Map 6.1.14.

1 - Tod The 1 - Tod route would provide service to the northwestern section of Warren.

2 - Oak The 2 - Oak route would service the western and southwestern sections of Warren between Palmyra Road and West Market Street.

3 - Main The 3 - Main route would travel south of Warren between Palmyra Road and Main Avenue.

4 - Elm The 4 - Elm route would travel to the northeastern section of Warren between Park Avenue and Elm Road.

5 - Niles The 5 - Niles route would provide service to the southeastern section of Warren traveling on SR-169, between Niles Road and US-422. 6 - Park The 6 - Park route would service the central northern section of Warren between Park Avenue and Mahoning Avenue.

7 - Market The 7 - Market route would service the eastern and southeastern section of Warren. This route would travel between East Market Street and US-422. The TCTB at this time does not operate any fixed route transit services in Trumbull and Mahoning Counties.

Any proposed routes for Mahoning and Trumbull Counties can be implemented in the near future with the financial support from public, private and non-profit organizations in Mahoning and Trumbull Counties. Eastgate will continue to encourage coordination and regionalization to transit systems operating in the urbanized area.

It is anticipated that the TCTB will manage and operate the TTS for Trumbull County through a turnkey capital cost of contracting agreement between the TCTB and the private sector. A turnkey capital cost of contracting service is only available for funding at 50% of the total gross operating cost of the contract. Only 50% of the 80% federal share is eligible for FTA reimbursement. The project descriptions are preliminary and have not been approved by the TCTB through resolution. In addition, all transit projects for inclusion in Eastgate’s TIP would require Eastgate’s Technical Advisory Committee, and Citizens Advisory Board to review and make recommendations before they are approved by Eastgate’s General Policy Board through a resolution. The capital improvements projects for TTS are not in Eastgate/ODOT’s TIP/STIP. The TCTB is required to submit fiscal documentation to Eastgate to conduct a fiscal analysis for federal and state transit funding to be included in the currently approved FY2012 to 2017 TIP/STIP.
