Valley Metro
Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA)
FY 2011/12 Adopted Operating & Capital Budget Overview

Budget Development
The FY 2011/12 Operating and Capital Budget has been prepared with the goal of delivering a
fiscally prudent, balanced budget. The budget was developed in compliance with all the Board
of Directors’ adopted financial policies and is aligned with the Transit Life Cycle Program
(TLCP). Administrative, planning and regional services budget has been reduced by 17% ($2.04
million) compared to the FY 2010/11 budget. The adopted FY 2011/12 RPTA support budget
has now been reduced by approximately $7.1 million (42%) since FY 2007/2008 including a
34% reduction in the base budget. Because of the amount of reductions in administration and
planning budgets, there is approximately $1.3 million of Regional Area Road Funds (RARF)
available for FY 2011/12 to be programmed in the Regional Services budget to offset the
amount of Public Transportation Funds (PTF) needed. Additionally, $1.0 million of RARF fund
balance is programmed to offset the amount of PTF needed. This totals $2.3 million in RARF
funding to reduce the amount of PTF revenues needed that can now be used for bus service.
Projects that are included in the budget and are not part of the TLCP total $3.8 million (1.6% of
total budget). These programs are funded by member cities, vanpool fare revenue, and State
and Federal grants. These projects include Transportation Demand Management, Vanpool
Operations, and the Alternative Transportation program.
RPTA’s primary revenue source is the PTF. The PTF FY 2011/12 revenue estimate of $103.4
million was determined using the current ADOT revenue forecast. These funds are restricted to the
