Our Mission2To provide a reasonable level of safe, reliable, convenient, and affordable public transportation to the regions residentsRegional OverviewSix counties with rugged terrain located in north west-central Pennsylvania5,091 square mile service area (larger than 5 of our nations states) 224,780 residents Geographically dispersed population of 44 persons per square mile156 municipalities with widely ranging featuresPopulation dispersed along 7,000 miles of roads

34The poorer socio-economic conditions of the region contribute to a high rate of transit dependency by individuals who are less able to afford transportation needed to access basic servicesFactors Contributing to a High Degree of Transit Dependency in North Central PennsylvaniaOlder (18.8% of region pop is over 65, 15.4% for state average)Lower education levels (while increasing, still below state average in both high school and post graduate education)Lower earnings (counties median household incomes range from 6% to 22% less than Pennsylvania and is, on average 5% lower in 2010 than in 2000)

5Factors Contributing to a High Degree of Transit Dependency in North Central PennsylvaniaThe number of persons living below poverty increased significantly since 2000 (increased by 114% in Elk County (highest); and 56% in Clearfield County (lowest)Percent of population below poverty increased from 8.1% to 14%High percentage of individuals with a disability over the age of 20 (2000 census)41.3% over the age of 65 has a disability18.4% between the ages of 20-64 has a disability

Current Cost of Diesel per Gallonmarket rate $3.44Pump rate $3.99

32FuelAmount of Fuel is determined by calculating the anticipated number of gallons based upon average consumption (mpg) for the projected number of vehicle miles to be operated. The budget rate used to determine the fuel line-item is not based on a scientific model. The calculation is made reviewing recent trends in fuel pricing. ATA vehicles are dispersed over a wide region and generally do not fuel at a transit owned fueling station preventing the purchase of fuel in annual contract arrangements.

COST SAVING INITIATIVES44Previously UndertakenHealth Care Employee Co-Pay increased from 2.2 to 5%Reduced earned sick daysReduced paid holidaysParticipation in SAFTIP&L and Workers CompensationDividends returned and recognized as revenueCost of Living Adjustments limited to 2%Travel Restrictions/Limitations

45Cost Saving ConsiderationsParticipation in Commonwealths Health Insurance This has the potential to save considerable expense due to the buying power of the Commonwealth. There is no way for the transit health care pool to approach the premium levels of the Commonwealths options.SAFTI Health Insurance PoolDoes not save on premiums initially but anticipated to limit health insurance cost increases to 3.5% annually rather than 9% (current SAFTI member increases)

The change in the cost allocation shifting more fixed costs to the public budget will occur as a result in reduction of miles operated for MATP dedicated services. This shift has not been projected
