RE: Annual Ridership Figures for the #243 Route
Dear Ms. Littrell:
Per the annual Agreement for Transit Services between the City of Riverside and the Kansas City Area
Transportation Authority (KCATA), KCATA provides the City with annual ridership figures related to the
#243-Antioch Barry Road Connector route serving Riverside. For that purpose, this letter contains
2012 year-to-date, 2011, and 2010 ridership statistics pertaining to the fixed-route service within
Riverside.
The #243-Antioch/Barry Road Connector provides thirteen weekday trips, from 6:16 AM to 7:08 PM
that travel between the Boardwalk Square Transit Center and the Antioch Mall Transit Center. On
Saturdays, the route runs twelve trips between 7:08 AM and 6:58 PM. The route connects with eight
other KCATA routes at the two aforementioned transit centers, and travels through Riverside via NW
Gateway, Vivion Road, High Drive, 69 Highway, Riverway Boulevard, Highway 9, I-635, Frontage Road,
and Argosy Parkway.
Through September 2012, ri243-Antioch/Barry Road Connector ridership in Riverside has grown from
last year and now represents approximately 32% of #243's total ridership on weekdays. The following
table details the ri243's average daily boarding activity in Riverside and for the entire route:
#243-Antioch/Barry Rd Connector 2012 2011 2010
Weekday — Average daily boardings in Riverside 29 25 24
Weekday—Average daily boardings on entire route 91 87 80

KANSAS CITY AREA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
MEMORANDUM
To: Board of Commissioner
From: Mark E. Huffer, General Manager
Date: December 9, 2011
Subjed: 2012 Operating Budget
The continued sluggish economy gripping the nation has played havoc on the fiscal
condition of public institutions at all levels of government. KCATA is not exempt from
this downward pressure in revenue collections. However, through sound fiscal
management, KCATA has fared better than many public institutions largely preserving
its pre-recession levet of service to the community.
Even though fiscal viability is the singte largest challenge facing the KCATA, the
Authority continues to pursue innovation in its service delivery. One of the primary
focuses in 2011 was a comprehensive service analysis (CSA) within Kansas City,
Missouri. The purpose of the analysis was to determine if the current route structure
was the most efficient and cost effective approach to providing a qualiry product to the
citizens of Kansas City. The study provided several recommendations that were
introduced to the citizens of Kansas City through seven public meetings. Several
suggestions were received and will be incorporated in the implementation. The 2012
budget reflects some of the initial recommendations.
Through conservative fiscal planning, the 2012 budget has been developed to provide
continued service stability to KCATA customers.
i
Service Levels
M etro
In the 2012 opereting budget, annual service miles remain essentially the same as in
2011, with the exception of the mid-year implementation of the initial CSA
recommendations within KCMO. The 2012 operating budget includes a operating
savings of 1% of service miles through more efficient route designs and scheduling, as
recommended in the CSA.
12/9/zoii � _ „ '
Another potential change to service levels exists related to the Independence Intra-ciry
service. The city issued a request for proposals for a firm to provide transit service
within the city. Tentative approval has been given to a private provider to perform the
service. The potential impact on the 2012 budget would occur in the second half of the
year. The 2012 operating budget assumes KCATA will provide a full year of service
given the award is tentative.
Passenaer Revenue and Ridershio
Metro
The Metro service is budgeted to increase 2.3% and the related passenger revenue
increases 4.2%.
One of the bright spots of 2011 was the implementation of the University of Missouri
Kansas City (UMKC) student pass program. Original projections estimated 10,000
passengers per month. Ridership for the first three months is averaging 75% higher
than projections. The 2012 budget includes an increase in ridership projections related
to the UMKC service.
The 2012 budget does not include an increase in the $1.50 base fare for fixed route
and demand responsive service. However, due to the volatility in the diesel fuel
market, a$0.25 fuel surcharge will be temporarily implemented, upon Board
authorization, if KCATA's diesel fuel cost exceeds $4.00 per gallon for an extended
period. Once the cost per gallon drops below $4.00 for an extended period, the
surcharge may be removed by Board action.
Share-A-Fare
The Share-A-Fare program will not increase fares in 2012. Currentiy, the program has
an ADA fare of $3.00, which is the maximum allowed by law. The program can only
charge twice the Metro base fare of $1.50 for fixed route service. In 2012 passenger
revenue is budgeted to increase 12.7% for Share-A-Fare as a result of a budgeted
ridership increase of 6,3%. In addition, to the ridership increase, ADA fare increased
from $2.50 to $3.00 per trip in April of 2011. The 2012 budget reflects a full year of
the increase. ,
Ooeratina Exoenses
The combined budget of Metro and Share-A-Fare represents a mere 3.5% increase over ',
the 2011 combined budget. The increased expense is disassed in greater detail below: ��

Employee Cost ���
65%
Wages, Salaries, and Employee Benefits — Total Wages salaries and employee benefits �
increased 2.2% above the 2011 budget.
• Wages and Salaries — Both union and salaried employees' wages and
salaries were frozen in the past two years, salaried employees in 2010 and the
union employees in 2011. The 2012 budget assumes a 2.5°!o increase for both.
However, contrad negotiations between Local 1287 and the Authority are in
progress and the result may or may not resuit in the budgeted wages.
• Health Insurance — The 2012 health insurance renewal increased 9.3%
compared to 14.8% in 2011. Originally, KCATA's insurance carrier, Blue Cross,
quoted a 14.8% increase for 2012. After a series of discussions, Blue Cross
quoted a 9.3% increase in premium based on 300 employees participating in a
"Health Risk Assessment" (HRA). The assessment provides the employee a
current status of some the basic health indicators, such as blood pressure and
cholesterol. Approximately 330 employees participated in the HRA. The
regional and national health insurance premium increase for 2011/12 is
averaging 12°!o to 15%.
Purchased Transportation — The Share-A-Fare {SAF) program's major cost component is
purchased transportation, which is projected to increase 9.6% over the 2011 budget.
The increase is related to trip growth of 5% and an increase in the Veolia service
contract.
iz/9/zoii
i
To help slow down the growth in ridership and its associated costs, the 2012 budget
includes travel training services to educate SAF participants on how to ride the Metro
bus system. Such programs have proven to be successfui in other communities.
Successful transitio� from SAF to Metro for as few as 20 riders will more than offset the
cost of the local share for the program. A New Freedoms grant will cover
approximately 50% of the travel training.
Fuel — The 2012 budget is impacted by the cost of diesel and gasoline. As shown in �
the graph below, the average cost of diesel on a monthly basis has steadily increased
over the past eighteen months. Forecast on the future of fuel shows no signs of relief. !
In searching for a viable economical altemative fuel source, one of the key studies i
incorporated in the 2011 operating budget was a study converting the Authority's !
physical fueiing infrastructure and revenue fleet to compressed natural gas (CNG).
Implementation for CNG could begin by 2014 if funding is available.
i
Diesel is the major component of the fuel category. The 20I2 budget includes an
average cost per gallon of $3.06. Currently, fixed contracts are in place for
approximately 50% of the monthly diesel fuel requirement for 2012 at an average cost
per gallon of $2.92. The remaining non-contracted diesel fuel is budgeted at $3.18 per
gallon. As shown below the cost per gallon of diesel fuel paid by KCATA has increased
dramatically. Fuel currently accounts for 11% of the entire operating budget up from
5% of the budget 10 years ago.

Gasoline usage is growing as a component of the fuel category. In past years the
budget included gasoline cost for the van pool program and Share-A-Fare purchased
transportation services. In 2010, a program was implemented to replace the Metro's
12-passenger diesel mini-bus fleet with gasoline engine vehicles. The buses are used
for MetroFlex demand responsive and fixed-route service. As the replacement
continues in 2012, it is anticipated approximately 80% of the mini-bus fleet will have a
gasoline engine by year end. Budgeted gasotine cost represents approximately 20% of
the 2012 fuel cate9ory. I
Fundina
Local Funding
Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) is the primary provider of all transit funding, at 61%. ':
KCMO funding is provided through a'/z-cent transportation sales tax (46%) and a 3/& I
cent ATA sales tax (54%). The �/z-cent transportation sales tax expires in 2015 which
must be renewed by the Missouri Legislature, and the 3/8-cent tax expires March 2024 �
which must be renewed by registered voters in the City of Kansas City. I I
i2/9/zoii � ��
Both taxes are economic activiry taxes and thus, are reFlective of economic conditions.
The extended recession has had an adverse impact on sales tax receipts. However,
current sales tax receipts indicate a modest growth in the tax. The 2012 budget
assumes a 2% growth in the sales tax and in KCMO's 2012/13 contract with KCATA.
KCATA monitors sales tax collections closely, and will brief the Board in the flrst haif of
2012 about the impact of projected sales tax collections.
KCATA has established and built a reserve fund from the 3/8 cent sales tax to deal with
unexpected costs such as a rapid escalation in fuel costs, as well as to level funding
availability when sales tax collections are diminished. In 2010, the Board authorized a
fund balance policy for the transit sales kax reserve fund for KCMO. As part of the
policy, the Board approves the usage of the safes tax at the time the annual budget is
approved. The 2012 budget requires the use of approximately $6.7 million from the
3/6-cent sales tax reserve.
The KCMO city council approved an ordinance in November of 2010 requiring, on an
annual basis, KCATA receive 95% of the �h-cent net receipts. The city is increasing the
�/z-cent pass through amounts to KCATA incrementally with a goaf to be at the 95% in
2�13 as required by the ordinance. The 2012 budget includes an additional $1.4
miHion. �
Other communities purchasing transit service from The Metro are the Unified �I
Government in Kansas, and Independence, North Kansas City, Gladstone, Riverside, I
Liberty, Raytown, Blue Springs, and Lee's Summit in Missouri. AI1 of these communities �
fund transit from general revenues, causing transit to compete for already strained
resources. As individual community contracts are negot+ated throughout 2012, it is
anticipated that several communities wilf reduce their funding commitment, thus
resulting in reduced transit service levels.
State Funding
As shown in the graph below state investment in public transit is declining. The state
expects to face another deficit in 2012 — possibly placing the modest level of support
currently received in jeopardy. A major {egislative priority of both the KCATA and the
Missouri Public Transportation Association is to ensure transit is a vital component of a
state-wide tax initiative potentially scheduled for voter approval in 2012.

President Obama recentiy signed a two-year transportation bill allocating formula funds
to designated recipients such as KCATA. The 2012 budget assumes funding will equal
the 2011 apportionment. A federal register indicating the exad amount of the funding
allocation should be issued by December 18.
The 2012 budget includes federal formula funding of $9.2 million, or approximately
70% of the $13.1 million in total federal funding. The remaining 30% of federal
funding is from Job Access/Reverse Commute, CMAQ and other discretionary funding
programs.

SUMMARY
KCATA management and staff continue to provide cost-effective, quality transit service
for regional citizens even in light of diminishing financial resources. There remains a
structural imbalance between the size of the Authoriry today and level of financial
support that can currently be expeded in the future.
Without addressing this structural imbalance in a meaningful way, the size and scope of
the Authority will have to be significantly reduced within the next few years. It should
be the challenge of our elected officials, civic leaders and the staff and Board of the
KCATA to have meaningful and extensive dia{o9ue on the future of transit in Kansas
City.
