    Greg Harper, AC Transit Board President 1600 Franklin S treet, Oakland, CA 94612 Dear President Harper and Members of the Board of Directors: I am pleased to present the Alameda–Contra Costa Transit District's (AC Transit) FY 2014-2015 Adopted Budget for your consideration. This balanced budget includes modest service enhancements with a new fare structure in FY 2015 allowing AC Transit to continue to improve the quality of service it provides to the East Bay community. The FY 2014-2015 Adopted Budget is comprised of an Operating Budget that totals $344.4 Million in operating revenues offset by $342.3 Million of expenses resulting in a positive operating surplus of $2.1 Million. In addition, the FY 2015 Adopted Capital Budget of $84.2 million includes $10.9 million in District capital funds to address our near term capital priorities. The budget has been built on the basis of 1.7 million Revenue Service Hours and 1.8 million Platform Hours. Major highlights of the FY 2015 Operating Budget include:

    Service Enhancements – increased service will be added to (1) improve on-time performance on major trunk lines, (2) provide more trips on Transbay routes to increase capacity and meet the current demand on Transbay service, and (3) provide new mobility solutions for low density transit environments.

    Fare Structure – Farebox revenues are anticipated to grow at 5 percent over the current fiscal year resulting from increased ridership. Additionally, ridership is expected to grow as a result of the implementation of an improved fare structure that includes a day pass and incentivizes Clipper usage.

    Absence of Federal operating assistance for preventative maintenance to offset operating costs signals financial sustainability.

    The operating expenses include $1.3 million for upcoming election of four Board members.

    In its efforts to provide a better ride and increase ridership along with introducing cost efficiencies the District has embarked upon major capital projects like East Bay Bus Rapid Transit and Line 51 improvements. Our future capital needs exceed over $300 million for the next five years. These future needs will be further detailed in the upcoming Short Range Transit Plan. The FY 2015 Adopted Capital Budget of $84.2 million addresses roughly one third of the

  • conducted a series of meetings with each department for development of the new fiscal year budget models. The department meetings were an  important part of the process of generating systematic buy‐in for the design and cultivation of a strategic planning, goal‐oriented mindset. This process also seeks to create a new organizational culture,  improved morale, and a new performance‐driven  attitude.  The  FY  2014‐15  operating  and  capital  budgets were  developed  in  accordance with  the  new strategic goals and objective based model.  The new budgeting model is intended to achieve the following: 

    • It  connects  budgeted  programs  and  resources  with  specific  targets  creating  a  strong  sense  of  direction  and accountability. 

    • It fosters a collaborative, culturally cohesive and open communication budgeting environment, which should result in more systematic, performance‐driven and comprehensive budgeted programs. 

    • It  fosters  the effective and efficient utilization of all resources, conducive  to performance‐oriented, cost effective and cost efficient budget solutions. 

    • It  fosters  active  ownership  and management  of  processes  and  activities  in  a  coordinated  and  ongoing manner during the fiscal year, assuring feedback and regular oversight to achieve set goals. 

     The  FY  2014‐15  budget  recommendations  support  the  provision  of  financial  resources  to  support  the  performance management strategy being implemented within the District.    The specific FY 2014‐15 goals and objectives for the District are defined below:

  • AC TRANSIT - MACROECONOMIC (EXTERNAL) ASSUMPTIONS BUDGET FY 2014-15

    KEY VARIABLE

    Description of the forecast for the variable

    Population Growth

    Population growth in the service area of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties is showing a trend of increased growth over the current growth projection estimates of 0.8% - 1.0%, with projections for next fiscal year at approximately 1.1% growth.

    East Bay Economy

    The East Bay area is experiencing improved economic growth, which is based on emerging new clusters of industries and increased growth in traditional bastions of strength in the region like Construction, Trade and Warehousing, and Education/Health.

    Employment in the region is anticipated to grow at 2.5% for next year, with the unemployment rate for the region at about 5.5% for FY 2014-15.

    Inflation (Bay Area CPI): Mild yet slightly growing inflation projected at 2.5% average.

    Interest rates are expected to remain at a very low level in the short to midterm, but beginning to trend toward very moderate growth. The housing market fundamentals in the East Bay area have improved with the projection for continuous yet moderating increase in home property values and renewed investment in C&I construction. Taxable Sales grew at a rate close to 6% during calendar year 2014.

    Funding Sources

    The District is pursuing procurement of new buses and phased-out its previous reliance on federal funds for capital acquisitions exchanged to fund operating programs. The District will renew its efforts to improve the level of reimbursement through the indirect cost allocation plan. CA State budget has improved but it is not very likely to be a source of new significant funding in the very short run, but Cap-and-Trade revenue could become a growing source of future State funds. New sales tax measures (ACTC Measure B) could also be available in the future.

    Fringe Benefits costs

    Fringe benefit costs are experiencing increasingly intense pressure on the overall labor costs due to persistently high health care costs growth rates. PEPRA legislation and changes to OPEB benefits remains unavailable as potential relief to the District’s cost structure.

    Fuel Prices Fossil fuel prices are projected to trend downward due to increased domestic production and lower demand driven by increased levels of renewable energy sources. The fuel prices are subject to some uncertainty due to tensions within oil producing countries that have the potential to cause temporary price spikes.

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    REVENUES

    Description of the operating internal assumptions Operating: Total Farebox

    The farebox recovery ratio is expected to continue inching up closer to 20% as the favorable trend in ridership growth persists. The Adopted Budget includes an increase in farebox collections to reflect this trend, while ridership growth is expected to approach 4.5%. Fares collections also reflect the decision not to increase fare prices but to restructure the use of fare media and transfers starting FY1415. It also reflects the effect of the Service Enhancement Plan.

    Operating: Contract Services

    This line item reflects the continuation of strong positive revenue trends associated with fare media agreements for service contracted with UC Berkeley, City of Oakland, and others.

    Operating: BART Transfer

    Reflects the revenues based on the new BART Feeder Service Agreement.

    Operating: Interest Income

    Staff has projected the continuation of low level of yield returns on the Repos and Agencies that have been the traditional short-term investment vehicles allowed by existing policy. Expected yields are projected to remain at low rates in the short to mid-term, with a tendency to increase due to growth of the US economy.

    Operating: Advertising

    Projection considers additional revenue coming from the variable component of the contract due to slightly better sales of ad space due to the improving regional economy and a favorable negotiation of the renewal of the advertising contract.

    Operating: Other Revenue

    Parking citation tickets are stabilizing and thus projections have been adjusted conservatively. Other revenues included in the projection will remain around average historical levels. The drop from the Mid Year FY1314 Budget is due to the effect of one time collections associated with services rendered to BART due to the strikes that occurred in 2013.

    Operating: Rental income

    Reflects the expected lease income to be received from tenants at the new 66th Avenue facility, considering the impact of vacancies.

    29

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    Sales Tax-based Subsidies: TDA

    Staff has revised allocations as per the February 2014 MTC Fund Estimate release. Although the funding levels projected by MTC for FY 2014-15 look stagnant compared to actual FY 2013-14, there are signs of an improved regional economy and taxable sales levels in the latter part of FY 2013-14 that prompted the budget staff to consider that a revised allocation will be available during the next revision later in the calendar year. The stronger economic performance in the San Francisco Bay Area compared to California and the Nation appears to be translating in more sales activity in the East Bay service area where the District operates. Taxable sales in the region where this subsidy derives from are growing at around 6% based on latest CA FTB BOE figures and private providers of more timely data.

    Sales Tax-based Subsidies: AB1107

    Staff has revised allocations as per the February 2014 MTC Fund Estimate release. Although the funding levels projected by MTC for FY 2014-15 look stagnant compared to actual FY 2013-14, there are signs of an improved regional economy and taxable sales levels in the latter part of FY 2013-14 that prompted the budget staff to consider a revised allocation will be available during the next revision later in the calendar year. The stronger economic performance in the San Francisco Bay Area compared to California and the Nation appears to be translating in more sales activity in the East Bay service area where the District operates. The District benefits through this subsidy from the spillover in economic activity generated in the City and County of San Francisco. Taxable sales in the region where this subsidy derives from are growing close to 7% based on latest CA FTB BOE figures and private providers of more timely data.

    Sales Tax-based Subsidies: Measure B

    Staff has revised available allocations. Although the existing funding levels projected by ACTC for FY 2013-14 look stagnant, and there is no official data available for FY 2014-15, there are signs of an improved regional economy and taxable sales levels in the latter part of FY 2013-14 that prompted the budget staff to consider a revised allocation will be available during the next revision later in the calendar year. The stronger economic performance in the San Francisco Bay Area compared to California and the Nation appears to be translating in more sales activity in the East Bay service area where the District operates. Taxable sales in Alameda County are growing at around 5.5% based on latest CA FTB BOE figures and private providers of more timely data. Staff will keep in contact with Alameda CTC and will adjust figures accordingly to reflect the official FY 2014-15 allocations as soon as an official report is obtained.

    30

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    Sales Tax-based Subsidies: STA

    Staff has revised allocations as per the February 2014 MTC Fund Estimate release. The reduction in allocations for this subsidy are consistent with the drop in prices of fuel seen during much of the current fiscal year and projected by the futures markets into the current calendar year and beyond.

    Sales Tax-based Subsidies: Measure J

    The projection is based on an estimate based on the probable allocation to be submitted by the Contra Costa County Authority. It equals the proceeds from the Measure J allocation process.

    Property Tax-based Subsidies (inc. Measure VV)

    The Adopted Budget assumes certain growth factors based on input from data received from the Alameda County Assessors’ Office for this subsidy. The base Property tax subsidy is experiencing significant increases in collections due to the high level of activity in the real estate markets and major price increases for residential and nonresidential properties in the current year, and is projected to continue this trend for the rest of the calendar year and well into FY 2014-15. The recent taxable assessment roll from the Alameda County Assessor confirms the growth rate of 5% that the District Staff has used as baseline for growth of receipts of FY 2014-15, however, the uncertainty factor remains around the magnitude of property tax subsidies allocated from redevelopment activities. Staff remains confident that the total receipts estimated are only moderately optimistic. Measure VV subsidies are fixed at a combined $96.00 per parcel. The total budgeted figure reflects existing parcels in the area and is expected to show growth caused by the resurgence in permits and building completions during FY 2013-14 and FY 2014-15. Looking forward, the District is continuing plans for the eventual presentation to voters of a proposal to maintain this existing measure past the sunset date in FY 2017-18.

    ADA related Subsidies

    Staff has revised allocations as per the February 2014 MTC Fund Estimate release. The ADA Paratransit Lease revenue is assumed to grow moderately during the period.

    Preventive Maintenance and Capital Funds Exchanges

    This line item consolidated all PM related activity. At this point, this activity has been refocused on funding capital projects acquisitions, particularly bus fleet procurement. Therefore, no sourcing of these funds for operating purposes is foreseen for FY 2014-15.

    31

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    Other Grants and Subsidies

    These are mostly fixed allocations or commitments to be received as scheduled, and other subsidies and proceeds from reimbursable labor expenses and the indirect cost allocation plan. The most significant pieces are:

    RM2 subsidy for several routes, including Dumbarton Bridge, which sums up to $ 12.6 Million.

    Oakland Unified School District allocation of $ 2.2 Million to be used to partially fund the full cost of school service in the OUSD area provided by the District.

    Finally, the effect of reimbursable labor costs related to staff’s time used in developing capital assets projects, approximately $ 1.8 Million.

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    OPERATING EXPENSES

    Description of the operating internal assumptions

    Labor Costs

    The Adopted Budget full time equivalent positions for FY 2014-15 are 1,901 positions. The staffing level includes initiatives to reduce the impacts for service support, including sufficient Operators for our current service levels and critical Maintenance and supervisory staff required to improve the efficacy and efficiency of service. Total Platform hours for FY 2014-15 is projected to be 1.8 million hours, which represents 1.7 million Revenue Vehicle Service Hours. Total Salaries and Wages figures for FY 2014-15 reflect the management of our employees in a more efficient manner. Operational changes are lowering overtime costs and work-rule based costs along with improving performance. The figures also reflect the effects associated with the last contract agreement with ATU. Total fringe benefits expenses are higher than total net salaries and wages since FY 2009-10, in spite of lower headcount due to service cuts and other departmental reorganizations and restructurings from years past. The increased cost is due to increased annual amortization costs which required to support the unfunded actuarial accrual liability of the District’s Pension Contribution expenses, plus continuously high average cost per employee of medical, dental and vision care premiums, despite the implementation of co-pays and contributions to health care premiums. The FY 2014-15 Adopted budget for health care premiums reflects the recent rate increases for medical premiums in the range of 8.8% quoted by vendors and still subject to agreement by Staff and the Board. The Pension Contribution figure reflects a positive adjustment which was discussed with the Retirement Board, based on the receipt of an update to the actuarial review based on portfolio performance as of 2013. The cost of workers’ compensation insurance is projected to show some stabilization, albeit at a high level mostly because of the present level of claims. Staff is taking action on this matter and has designed a plan currently in implementation to foster and enforce a Safety and Wellness culture, which should reduce the number of accidents and improve operational efficiencies at the same time. This initiative has already helped with the accidents rate for external third-parties to the District. Paid Time Off expenses as a percent of Gross Salaries and Wages is projected to remain stable at approximately 18% of net reported salaries and wages. Other fringe benefits will vary according to changes in salaries and wages, by virtue of the contract language, by experience, or by inflation.

    33

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    Services

    Services expenses increased by a $ 1.2 million from FY 2013-14 Mid Year Budget levels at around $ 23.7 Million, for programs and activities as submitted by operating managers during the Budget process, and reviewed and authorized by the General Manager, the CFO and the Executive Staff and presented for approval to the Board of Directors. Major services expenses are the following:

    Security Services, $ 9.6 Million, as a consequence of restructuring the service levels and effective management of the contract with Alameda and Contra Costa County Sheriffs, and renewed efforts to align those services in this year’s negotiations

    Certain professional, technical and maintenance contractual services, particularly in the Information Services and Technology, Maintenance, Human Resources, Finance and Planning and Development departments, for a total of $ 7.9 Million

    Outside Training Services, $ 0.5 Million, a historical level associated with the strategic priority designed to improve the productivity and technical capabilities of the entire workforce on a number of systems, tools and techniques.

    Clipper expenses associated with the costs of the Clipper program, not funded by MTC of about $ 1.0 Million

    Outside Attorney Fees, remain at a higher level to account for final resolution on several ongoing litigations.

    Claims Administration of about $ 1.2 Million for the management of claims Districtwide

    Outside Repair Services contracted mostly by the Maintenance department at around $ 0.7 Million, which is slightly lower than FY 2013-14 Mid Year Budget

    Management Service fees, mostly Tax administration services performed by the counties on our behalf, and other fees, $ 0.4 Million

    Other Services includes the cost of the contractor providing services to the regional RTC card, $ 0.4 million which is reimbursed by 75% to AC Transit for being the Lead Agency of said program

    Fuel and Lubricants

    Staff is assuming market price trends prevailing as of late April 2014 as per futures for the derivative most commonly used to price diesel fuel. The number of miles operated has been set at 22.2 million Total Operated Miles. Current yields in terms of miles per gallon are better than previously budgeted levels and are expected to remain stable in the very short run, if not continue improving due to the systematic introduction of the new fleet in service as well as better maintenance performance in the retiring fleet.

    34

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    Other Materials and Supplies

    Fleet reliability and operating performance are assumed to continue improving while the new bus fleet is commissioned to service, counteracting the impact of consumption of bus parts and supplies due to increased maintenance needs of the remaining fleet as it continues aging and requiring more significant repairs. The Operations area is executing a Maintenance Operations Improvement Implementation Plan rolled out in late 2012 under the leadership of the Chief Operations Officer and the Director of Maintenance. This initiative is generating significant labor productivity improvements, better control of bus part costs per mile, reduced levels in stock of parts and supplies and improved fleet mechanical reliability.

    Utilities and Taxes

    Telecommunication expenses have decreased due to tighter controls and closer scrutiny of consumption in particular cellular phones communication costs. Electricity, Gas and Telecommunications utility expenses are expected to grow by the general inflation rate, while electricity consumption has been reduced with new solar panels / PV technology installations at D4 and D6. Water expenses are expected to remain under scrutiny due to the negative impacts on the State water supply caused by the ongoing severe drought.

    Casualty and Liability costs

    The Adopted Budget has projected stable insurance premium costs due to Accident Reduction Program initiatives that were started in late 2012 as part of a major effort to significantly reduce the number of incidents and claims, and the consequent costs, by improving adherence to safety and customer oriented service practices, which have been endorsed by the insurance carriers.

    Interest Expense

    This item includes the costs related to the following financing transactions: The cost of the COPS debt service related to the general office building, The financing costs associated with COPS related to the acquisition of the new FHR system,

    and, Interest expenses associated with the COPS issued to finance the acquisition of the 66th Avenue

    facility.

  • ASSUMPTIONS Adopted Budget FY 2014-15

    ADA Consortium and Dumbarton Bridge Purchased Transportation Costs

    The ADA Consortium line item represents the District share (69%) of the total costs of operating the joint venture with BART to provide specialized Paratransit services. The softness in demand and associated lower billable hours charged to the Consortia has allowed Staff to expect the cost of this program to remain approximately $ 0.8 million lower than the previous year budget. The Dumbarton Bridge Purchased Transportation costs are basically funded in their entirety by revenues specifically allocated by MTC; therefore, it represents a cost neutral proposition from the General Fund perspective.

    Other Expenses

    These expenses include items that were also projected based on specific programs and activities by each of the operating departments. The most significant allocations were related to: The biennial Board of Directors Election process, which is allocated a $ 1.3 million appropriation Leases and rental of certain equipment used in transportation activities and office management Travel and meeting costs that are under the direct supervision of the General Manager Dues, subscriptions, employee incentives and other miscellaneous operating costs

    District Funded Capital Program

    Staff will discuss the Capital Budget program assumptions in a separate section.
