Funding Situation Assessment <br />HISTORICAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />Historically, the County's transportation program has been operating at capacity. During the last few <br />years, transportation revenues have dropped below operating expenditures. At the same time, the <br />County has been accumulating a growing list of capital projects that are critically needed to provide safe <br />roads, highways, bridges, and infrastructure. Future revenue sources are increasingly uncertain, and <br />County staff are concerned that current revenues available for operations and capital cannot keep up <br />with the demands. In addition, the County had been growing at a steady rate and this growth is <br />expected to continue. Therefore, demand for services is also expected to increase. <br />Exhibit 5 shows historical transportation revenues from 2008 to 2017, and Exhibit 6 shows historical <br />transportation expenditures over the same period. The historical revenue and expenditure data was <br />provided by County Public Works and categorized in discussion with department staff. Exhibit 7 shows <br />summary-level historical data. The data are presented in year of expenditure (YOE) dollars, or nominal <br />dollars. <br />• ~I I May 22, 2018 Kittitas County Public Works I 20-Year TIP Fiscal Sustainability Strategy: Final Report 6
