BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
The FY 15-16 Budget for GTA is decreasing by $195,806, or 0.9%.
The FY 15-16 Budget uses $841,736 in fund balance and the projected FY 16-17 budget will use
$1,187,316 to balance the Transit Fund. This increasing use of fund balance is not sustainable in the long-
term. The City will continue to explore options to improve the long-term financial outlook for GTA, including
service and fare changes.
Three positions from the General Fund are being reallocated to other funds based on time allocation. Two
of the positions, totaling 0.75 FTE, are being partially allocated to the Transit Fund at a cost of $31,149.
Additionally, a Grants Administrator position was added during FY 14-15.
