City Council <br />is being requested to conduct a public hearing on this at the August 26, 2015 Council meeting. <br />The 2015-2020 TDP summarizes 2014 performance and operations, including revenue hours, revenue miles, <br />and fleet composition. It also contains operating and financial projections for 2015-2020. This plan reflects a <br />conservative approach regarding future service adjustments and plans for a new Operations Base. In addition, <br />the plan anticipates Everett Transit receiving grant funds that will allow it to make needed upgrades to its <br />fleet of buses and paratransit vans, as well as enable it to preserve and maintain its facilities (Everett Station). <br />The elements within the TDP are also contained in the Everett Transit Comprehensive Plan adopted by the <br />City Council on April 30, 2003. Therefore, Council acceptance, not adoption, is required for the TDP. <br />RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br />Conduct a Public Hearing for the 2015-2020 Everett Transit Development Plan and 2014 A -m -mal Report. <br />115 <br />
