Short-Term Port Authority Funding Approved; 35% Service Reduction to be
Scaled Back
The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) voted last night by a vote of
27-22 to provide Port Authority with $45 million identified by Gov. Ed
Rendell to help offset a statewide transportation funding shortfall.The
money allows Port Authority to scale back the approved 35-percent service
reduction planned for March that would have been devastating for employers,
businesses and riders. We are grateful to those regional officials who
supported this effort and recognize the value of public transportation.This
clearly is a short-term Band Aid -- not a long-term solution. In response to
concerns by a number of SPC Commissioners over the short-term benefit of
these funds, Port Authority has committed to examine "stretching" the $45
million over the next 18 months -- through June 30, 2012.So what does this
mean?:
* Fares: The January 1, 2011 fare increase approved by the Port
Authority Board of Directors will proceed as scheduled.
* Service: Riders will not face a 35 percent service reduction in March.
Instead, service will be reduced by a lesser amount that will be detailed
in January. Planners are determining specifics now. This would help the
Authority through the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2011. Port
Authority also could reduce service sometime in its upcoming fiscal year,
which begins July 1, 2011.
* Layoffs: It is highly likely that some layoffs would occur under this
plan but not at the levels originally feared.
Although this scenario would result in some level of fare increases, service
reductions and job eliminations, it is preferable to cutting such a large
percentage of our public transportation system and would not unravel the
improvements in efficiency and productivity Port Authority has made through
the last few years. It is the most responsible option available at this time
-- short of resolving the statewide gap in transportation funding.Port
Authority, along with other stakeholders in the Commonwealth’s road, bridge
, mass transportation and overall transportation network, continues to seek
a meaningful discussion with the new State Administration and Legislature
starting in January about long-term transportation funding. |
