The TDP summarizes the prior calendar year (2004) performance and operation (e.g., service hours,passenger miles, fleet composition). It also contains operating and financial projections for 2005 -2011. This year's TDP reflects the improved fiscal environment made possible by the passage of Proposition 1 in September 2004. The plan includes systematic service restoration and strategic growth in the next five years, fleet replacement and expansion and capital facility restoration and development. The elements within the TDP are also contained within the Everett Transit Comprehensive Plan adopted by City Council on April 30, 2003. Therefore, Council acceptance, not adoption, is required for the TDP. RECOMMENDATION: Hold a Public Hearing and accept the 2005 to 2011 Everett Transit Development Plan and 2004 Annual Report. 9J
