Funding Challenges
• Need to develop 50% local match for federal grants, but local sources are diminishing– BETC phasing out– PEP gone, DHS gone, COCOA ½ former level– City of Bend commitment to $1 million in local match/year
expires in 2015• Makes it very difficult to spend time improving the
system (chasing $)• Difficult to plan for future service. • Driving potential service cutbacks to regional system over
next two yearsLINK
