ITEM 4A
TO: MAX Policy Steering Committee
April 1, 2002 Meeting
FROM: Lead Agency Staff
SUBJECT: FY 2002 MAX Financial Status Report
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The MAX operating budget for FY 2002 provides for continuation of the same level of service on
MAX Routes #2, #3 and #3X (express) as provided in FY 2001. The total operating costs
include a contract amount of $808,286 for the contractor (Coach USA), which represents year
number one of a two -year extension contract that was approved on July 1, 2001. Other
operating expenditures include administrative salaries, professional and technical service, and
special materials for promotional and operating uses.
Revenue sources for FY 2002 have been unchanged compared to FY 2001 and include annual
participant contributions and Proposition C Discretionary funds for Service Expansion.
Passenger fares have been relatively steady during the fiscal year as well. Participant
contributions were increased for the first time with the renewal of the MAX contract last year.
The current MAX Operating Summary (Attachment 1) conveys budget to actual expenditures for
seven accounting periods ending February 9, 2002. Budget to actual figures convey that the
MAX budget is 49.7% expended compared to 51.2% in revenues that have been collected.
Although revenues currently exceed operating expenses by 1.6% or $9,134, budget to actual
expenses and revenues should balance at the end of the year.
Staff does not foresee major expenditures for the remainder of the fiscal year. The major capital
expenditure includes replacement of the MAX Fleet which completes in May 2002. MAX will
expend $679,991 currently in the capital reserve account for the "local match ". This expense
will not be incurred until the fourth quarter.
