Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy Baney. Also present were Dave .Kanner, County Administrator; Judith Ure, Commissioners' Office; Joe Studer, County Forester; Bob Bryant and Gary Farnsworth, Oregon Department of Transportation; Jeff Munson, Commute Options; and Andrew Spreadborough, COIL. No representatives of the media or other citizens were present. The meeting was called to order at 1:45 p.m. 1. Oregon Department of Transportation Project Update. Gary Farnsworth gave an overview of projects underway and planned for the local area. (A copy of the project list is attached.) The particulars of the various projects were then discussed in regard to safety issues, funding, property acquisition, public input, the timing of draft plans and completion, vegetation management, paving and other aspects of the work being done by ODOT, in conjunction with other government agencies and entities. Discussed at length were possible plans for addressing the issue of railroad crossings and freight mobility. Mr. Bryant pointed out that it is possible that the Lafayette and Hawthorne exits and entrances may be closed due to hazards of merging vehicles. Also discussed was the lack of space on the sides of the parkway, which makes it very hazardous for law enforcement involved in traffic stops. Mr. Bryant stated that pullouts could be added but won't necessarily accommodate a traffic stop. There is talk about using speed cameras for automated enforcement, but there is no legal ability to utilize these yet. At this time, the COACT needs list was briefly discussed. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Page 1 of 5 Pages 2. Forester Update. Mr. Stutler said that there were 80 countries represented by 1,600 people at the wildfire conference in Spain. There was so much to see and learn about, it was hard to decide how to spend the time. It was pointed out that 10 million acres in the United States are subject to wildfire, but that number is 350 million in the world. Africa has the biggest problem. By 2020, they will have over 15 million people infected with AIDS, so crops can't be tended and will go to brush and be subject to wildfire. Every country has problems with wildfire interface issues. Many people were interested in Project Wildfire. The United Nations sponsored the event and arranged for the translation of presentations. It was a great opportunity to learn, and representatives from other countries are certain to visit this area to learn more about Project Wildfire. Several hundred handouts were gone quickly. There were only about 25 people from the U.S. there; most were from other parts of the world. The next event is scheduled for 2011 in South Africa. Project Wildfire should have some participation there. The United Nations and other agencies are sponsoring a two-day panel, and Mr. Studer has been asked to participate. This event is scheduled in Washington D.C. for June 25 and 26. The League of Oregon Cities is meeting in Bend on September 27-29; Mr. Stutler and others have been asked to participate to discuss Project Wildfire and provide a tour of various County projects The issue of unprotected lands within Deschutes County is becoming very important, and a plan needs to be developed on how to address wildfires in these areas. The Community Fire Plans will help a lot, but not all properties are in those areas and the cost and responsibility could end up being a huge problem for the County and other agencies. There are ways to help these areas but it takes a lot of effort to educate the residents and gain their support. Access is always a big consideration as well. This was a potentially hazardous situation at the recent Crooked River Ranch wildfire. Commissioner Baney said she would like to have a meeting of various entities to discuss coordination of resources and needs in this regard. Mr. Kanner stated that the emergency operations plan addresses various scenarios and all of the parties who may play a part in an emergency are probably aware of what they need to do. Commissioner Luke stated that the Commissioners should be informed of their participation in such an event. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Page 2 of 5 Pages Mr. Studer then went over the proposed Project Wildfire recognition awards. (A copy of this information is attached.) The group then discussed Title III funding recommendations and standards. (A copy of various documents is attached for reference) 3. Review of Human Services Transportation Plan (ODOT). Judith Ure went over the Plan, which has been produced after about a year-long process. This is a required document to be able to receive transportation funding in the future. It must be adopted before June 30. Also, the process involves the Oregon Solutions Process, which is intended to improve transportation coordination in the area as well as to comply with State and Federal requirements. The coordination work is ongoing. Different agencies involved in the process will take on certain aspects of the work. There are broader purposes, impacting the entire region and not just Deschutes County. Also, it can be used by Peter Russell of Community Development to enhance the Deschutes County transportation plan. The Oregon Solutions Project consists of a large group of people; some stayed in the process while others did not. Most agencies and interests were represented. COIC worked to facilitate the project and produced much of the resulting information. Mr. Spreadborough said that the process was very positive and meetings are ongoing to continue this work and to define the next steps. Mr. Munson stated that Commute Options is already working on van carpooling and other aspects detailed in the plan. Ms. Ure added that many of the entities are already working on some parts of the plan. LUKE: Move approval of the Plan. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes.

Box 2327 Harbor, gregon 97415 1 To: All County Commissioners and Judges for Counties Eligi le to Receive Payments Under PL 106-393. CC: Designated County Contacts From: Bob Cantine, Executive Director, AOC Rocky McVay, Executive Director, Association of O&C Counties Kevin Davis, Legal Counsel Date: January 30, 2Q01 Re: Sideboards for Title III Projects; the "Red-Face" Test Under PL 106-393 A. Background Titles II and III of PL 106-393 offer counties an opportunity to expend 15% to 20% of their total "safety-net" payments on various kinds of projects or, alternatively, to return that portion of their safety net payments to the U.S. Treasury. It will obviously be in the best interest of every county in Oregon eligible for safety-net payments to not return any available funding to the Treasury. The more difficult decision will be deciding how to divide the 15% to 20% between Title II and Title III projects. As was discussed at length at workshops conducted in Burns, Medford and Salem, counties will ultimately be asked to express their allocation of funding between Titles II and III in a resolution, a draft of which will be distributed to the counties in March. Counties must, however begin their pre-budgeting process in February, which requires that they make estimates of how much of the project funding they will be able to spend on projects that fit within the restrictions of Title III. By looking first at Title III, counties will be able to identify projects that would otherwise have to be funded from their general funds. Once all suitable projects are identified under Title III, the balance of PL 106-393 project funding can then be allocated to Title II projects. Title II projects are on Federal lands or for the benefit federal resources and are not projects for which a county would ordinarily provide funding. The purpose of this memorandum is to help the counties identify appropriate projects under Title III of PL 106-393. Doing so should facilitate the counties' pre- budgeting activities and help prepare the counties for the elections they must make in formally allocating project funding between Titles II and III. B. Title III Procedures Once a county makes its formal allocation between Titles II and III the resolution in which the allocation is expressed will be transmitted to the Secretary of the ' ~y4! management agency concerned and, ultimately, to the U.S. Treasury. Soon after the close of each federal fiscal year (September 30) the Treasury will disburse funds according to Title I of PL 106-393 and the allocations made by the counties. Funds allocated to Title II will remain in special county accounts at the Treasury. Title III funds will be sent to the counties, which will be required to hold them in special accounts of their own and used only in accordance with Title III. While the range of authorized uses under Title III is narrow, the governing body of a county has complete discretion in choosing projects within that range, and the procedures a county must follow are few and simple. In addition to whatever procedures a county ordinarily follows under state law, PL 106-393 requires that a county give the public a 45-day period for comment on proposed Title III projects. The comment period must be announced with a description of the proposed projects published in the local publications of record. The only other required procedure is to notify the Resource Advisory Committee(s) ("RAC(s)") established for the area under Title II of PL 106-393. RACs only receive notice of a proposed project. They have no role in the selection or approval of Title III projects. C. Title III Accounting It is anticipated that counties in Oregon will undergo federal audits for compliance with Title III restrictions, perhaps as early as the end of federal fiscal year 2002. For that reason we recommend that Title III project selection be made very conservatively and that Title III financial accounting be detailed and thorough. A county should have written justification to document every withdrawal from a county's Title III account. A county should establish a special fund account for Title III project funds into which the money disbursed to the county from the U. S. Treasury for Title III projects is deposited. Within the county's Title III special fund account a county should establish 6 line items that correspond to the 6 categories of authorized expenditures under Title III. Even if a county does not expect to expend funds in all 6 categories in the first year the account should be set up to accommodate unanticipated or future expenditures in all six categories. The 6 categories are described later in this memorandum. Once projects are selected and funds deposited in the account, Title III project expenditures should be made only after reimbursement invoices are submitted by a county department to the county governing body. This step is recommended to assure that the expenditures from the special fund account are made solely on projects that meet the requirements of Title III. Careful records should be kept attributing every expenditure to a specific project and to a specific line item within the Title III project special fund account. A county department relying on outside vendors and outside contractors to complete Title III projects should either pay third-party billings from a department operating account and then seek authorization for reimbursement from the Title III project special fund account, or submit the third party billings for authorization of direct payment from the account. In all cases the invoices for which payments are made from the special fund account should clearly identify the previously approved Title III project for which the expenditure is authorized. Interest on funds held in the Title III project special fund account will accrue and must remain in that account for expenditure in accordance with Title III. If funds remain in a Title III project special fund account at the end of a given year, it must remain in the account and be carried over to the next year for use by the county on subsequent Title III projects. It is recommended that a county's Budget Committee review the Title III project special fund account allocation during the budget process. D. Project Limitations and Authorized Uses The following are suggestions to aid a county in budgeting for projects that fit within the six categories authorized under Title III. The authorized uses are limited and challenging, so it is our strong recommendation for the first year of Title III funding that counties be conservative in their project selection. The second round of project selection in 2002 will be easier because of the experience gained this year. The language quoted below in the 6 categories is taken directly from the provisions of Title III of PL 106-393. Emphasis has been added to certain words or phrases to highlight particularly restrictive aspects of the law. Categorv (1). Search. Rescue and Emergency Services: Reimbursement for all documented costs incurred and maid, for by a county or county_sherifPs department for "search and rescue and other emergency services, including firefighting, performed on federal lands." "Federal lands" is defined in the statute for this and all other purposes to mean only lands within the National Forest system (excluding National Grasslands) and O&C or Coos Bay Wagon Road lands. One approach for projecting future costs in this category would be to review a county's last three or five year's direct expenditures for search and rescue missions on federal lands to arrive at a historic annual average. Certain general, overhead and capital costs can also be justifiably charged to the Title III special fund account in this category, though we recommend an especially conservative approach in this area. One appropriate method would be to calculate the percentage of direct costs associated with search, rescue and other emergency services performed on federal lands out of the total of all direct costs for all such services performed on all lands. That same percentage could then be used to calculate the portion of total indirect costs (overhead, etc.) that can fairly be attributed to the services actually performed on federal lands. This method would allow a county to be reimbursed for a portion of its training and planning costs. Exam lames ❖ Response by Sheriff s department to accidents on water bodies located on federal lands ❖ Sheriffs department's cost of responding to search and rescue missions on federal lands ❖ County payments to other search and rescue or other emergency services providers/organizations responding to missions on federal lands , ❖ County payments to rural fire departments for responding to fires on federal lands Note that any cost reimbursed by other third parties to a county for the above activities must be deducted from the reimbursement attributed to the Title III project special fund account in this category. Only those costs for which a county is actually out- of-pocket and that can be attributed to actual services performed on federal lands are reimbursable. Category (2). Community Service Work Camps: Reimbursement for all or part of the costs "incurred by the county to pay the salaries and benefits of county employees who supervise adults or juveniles performing mandatory community services on federal lands." Note that reimbursement is limited to the cost of salaries and benefits for employees. For those counties that do not already have programs that would fit within this category (or any of the other authorized categories under Title III); new programs could be created to take advantage of the funding authorized. Category (3). Easement Purchases: Funding to acquire easements from private or other non-county landowners, on a willing seller basis, to provide "nonmotorized access to public lands" (city, county, state or federal) for hunting, fishing, and other recreational purposes. Authorization is also provided to acquire "conservation easements." Costs within this category may include, but are not limited to: ❖ Attorneys' Fees ❖ Negotiating Expenses ❖ Preparation and Planning ❖ Purchasing Recording Note that development of or improvements to an access easement (such as trail construction) after acquisition are not included as authorized expenditures, nor are developments or improvements to the land after acquisition of a conservation easement to enhance the conservation purpose for which the easement was acquired (such as tree planting or fencing a streamside buffer). There is no reason under Title III why such improvements could not be made by the landowner prior to county acquisition, however, and the costs of such improvements could then be included as part of the overall payment to the landowner to acquire the easement. "Conservation easement" is not a defined term in PL 106-393. This term is subject to broad interpretation and may include a wide variety of development or other s. land-use rights a county may choose to acquire and then not exercise for conservation reasons. For example, a county may choose to acquire the right of a rancher to graze cattle on a particular parcel of land if the county determines that preservation of the vegetation on that parcel serves an important conservation purpose. Or, a county may choose to acquire timber harvesting rights on a. particular parcel if the county determines that preserving the trees on that parcel of land serves a worthwhile conservation purpose. Conservation easements can serve a broad array of conservation purposes, including, but. not limited to, the protection of open space or viewsheds, wildlife habitat, clean water sources and virtually any other environmental amenity deemed worthy of preservation by a county. Category (4). Forest Related Educational Opportunities: A county may use Title III funds for part or all of the cost incurred and paid for by a county "to establish and conduct forest-related after school programs." Suggestions for possible programs within this category include: ❖ Work/education programs to teach participants how to properly construct, maintain or improve trails and other facilities in the forest. ❖ On-campus or in-forest education programs on forest health conducted after regular school hours. ❖ Work/education programs to teach participants how to properly collect data on forest inventory, fish and wildlife populations, stream conditions and other measures for monitoring the health of forest resources. ❖ Educational programs establishing or utilizing forestry interpretive centers. ❖ 4-H and other extension service after-school forestry education programs. ❖ Other programs used to provide experiences to children and adults related to forest education. Note that these programs can be for children or adults and can be conducted on or off school campuses. The primary restrictions are that the educational programs be forestry related and not be included as part of the curriculum during the school day. Category (5). Fire Prevention and County Planning: Funding to cover county costs for (1) " efforts to educate homeowners in fire- sensitive ecosystems about techniques in home siting, home construction, and home landscaping that can increase the protection of people and property from wildfires;" and (2) planning efforts to reduce or mitigate the impact of development [that occurs on nonfederal lands if such development might have an impact] on adjacent Federal lands and [planning] to increase the protection of people and property from wildfires." The component of this category that authorizes the expenditure of Title III funds for planning to reduce the effects of development on adjacent federal lands is focused on the boundary areas where federal and non-federal lands meet. Note, however, that the component that addresses the education of homeowners about wildfire and the component that authorizes the expenditure of Title III finds for planning to reduce the risks of people and property from wildfire is not restricted to the interface of federal and nonfederal lands. Rather, it appears that costs for education of homeowners and planning costs are authorized for reimbursement under Title III if the education and planning are intended to reduce the risks of wildfire anywhere in a county, even if distant from federal lands. Programs that might qualify for reimbursement under this category would include, but are not limited to: ❖ Studies to determine where "fire-sensitive ecosystems" are located and mapping of such areas. ❖ Educational, programs for homeowners in fire-sensitive areas showing the consequences of wildfires. ❖ Development and publication of mitigation techniques and the conduct of courses or meetings intended to educate homeowners in home siting, construction and landscaping to increase protection from wildfires in fire-sensitive areas. ❖ Development of maps of wildland-urban interface fire evacuation routes. ❖ Any planning that enhances the protection of people or property from wildfires. ❖ Land-use or construction planning intended to reduce the impacts of construction or development on resources located on nearby federal lands. ❖ Funding for special neighborhood technical assistance packets for distribution to homeowners in the wildland-urban interface. Category (6). Community Forestry: A county may use Title III funds "towards non-federal cost-share requirements of section 9 of the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2105)." The scope of programs authorized under this category is unknown at this time because of an ambiguity in the above quoted language. The original "section 9 of the Cooperative Forestry assistance Act of 1978" addresses the consolidation of funds from all sources to be used to support the full range of programs authorized under the 1978 Act. The citation above in parentheses, however, is not to the original section 9 of the 1978 Act. Rather, 16 U.S.C. 2105 is a reference to a particular subset of programs available only within urban areas. It is unclear whether the programs in this category may include the full range of programs under the 1978 Act or are, instead, restricted to just those few programs that address urban forestry. Every effort is being made to obtain clarification of the above quoted language as soon as possible. It would obviously be more beneficial to counties to have a broad interpretation rather than a narrow one. If an authoritative interpretation is obtained, it will be provided to all counties as soon as it is received. Until a clarification is available, however, it is recommended that counties not attempt to plan programs under this category for expenditures under Title III. If there is substantial delay in obtaining a clarification, it may be necessary to avoid this category for the first year under Title III and revisit it during the second year of project selections. ~_RKEV1;EED_ LEGAL COUNSEL BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON In the Matter of the 2004 Election to - - Receive National--Forest Related S Net Payments Under P.L. 106-393 RESOLUTION NO. 2004 nr. z T r WHEREAS, Congress enacted in 1908 and subsequently amended a Iaw;that rec ll t 25 percent of the revenues derived from National Forest lands be paid to states for-la e berth , counties in which the lands are situated for the benefit of public schools and roads; and WHEREAS, the principal source of revenues from National Forest lands is from the sale and removal of timber, which has been sharply curtailed in recent years with a corresponding precipitous decline in revenues shared with counties; and WHEREAS, the United States Congress recognized a need to stabilize education and road maintenance funding through predictable payments to the affected counties, job creation in those counties, and other opportunities associated with restoration, maintenance and stewardship of federal lands, and to achieve those goals enacted P.L. 106-393 in 2000; and WHEREAS, P.L. 106-393 provides for guaranteed minimum payments for the benefit of affected counties, as well as an opportunity to invest a portion of the guaranteed minimum payments in projects on federal lands or that benefit resources on federal lands, or in county projects or activities; and WHEREAS, Title I, Section 102 of P.L. 106-393 gives each eligible county the right to elect to receive either its traditional share of revenues from the National Forest lands pursuant to the Act of May 23, 1908 and Section 13 of the Act of March 1, 1911, or instead to receive the guaranteed minimum amount, also known as the "full payment amount;" and WHEREAS, an election to receive the full payment amount is effective for all federal fiscal years through fiscal year 2006; and WHEREAS, in 2001, Deschutes County elected to receive its full payment amount rather than electing to receive its traditional share of National Forest revenues; and WHEREAS, any county electing to receive the full payment amount must further elect to expend an amount not less than 15 percent nor more than 20 percent of its full payment amount as project funds in accordance with Title I, Section 102(d)(1)(B) of P.L. 106-393; and RESOLUTION NO. 2004-047 - Page 1 of 3 For Recording Stamp Only WHEREAS, Title I, Section 102(d)(1)(B) of P.L. 106-393 requires that counties electing to receive the full payment amount must allocate its project funds for expenditure between projects in accordance with Title II of P.L. 106-393, projects in accordance with Title III of P.L. 106-393, and a return of the balance unspent under Titles II and III to the General Treasury of the United States, and communicate such allocation to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture; and WHEREAS, Title II of P.L. 106-393 provides for special projects on federal lands or that benefit resources on federal lands, which projects are recommended by local resource advisory committees ("RACs"); and W-HE-RE-AS-,RAC-s-r-eeo-mrnend-projects for-consider-ation-by-the-Secretary- of-Agriculture; - - - with project funding supplied in whole or in part out of monies allocated for such purposes by participating counties; and WHEREAS, counties that allocate funding to projects under Title II of P.L. 106-393, and are participants in more than one RAC, may further direct that their Title II project funds be divided between different RACs according to an allocation decided by each participating county, with such funds held in the General Treasury of the United States under the name of the county with a designation of the amount allocated to each RAC; and WHEREAS, Title III of P.L. 106-393 provides for county projects or services, some of which are associated with federal lands, with Title III authorizing expenditures for search, rescue and emergency services, staffing of community service work camps, the purchase of easements, forest related educational opportunities, fire prevention and planning, and community forestry pursuant to the Cooperative Forest Assistance Act of 1978: NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved as follows: Deschutes County hereby allocates Fifteen percent (15%) of its full payment amount for expenditure on projects under Title II and Title I I I of P.L. 106-393.

For personal recognition: Lisa Clark - "After working with Project Wildfire for many years, I cannot think of any one person who has worked as hard as Lisa to make things happen. Her endless energy and passion for what she does is remarkable. This year Lisa was the driving force behind the wildfire public education piece that was inserted into The Bulletin. She found the funding to pay for it; spent countless hours sorting through materials, copy, and images; and then wrote and worked directly with the designer to make sure the pieces were dynamic and easy to understand. It was the most effective and important piece Project Wildfire produced this year, and Lisa was responsible for it. Lisa spends much of her time educating others about eliminating combustible vegetation from their property by attending homeowners' and neighborhood meetings. She is well versed on what is going on in the region with all the different agencies, wildfire education, and grants. She is a good communicator, establishes great relationships with all those she works with, and is one of the most committed steering committee members. She is also a key player in the FireFree program and spends more than her fair share of time educating and promoting that worthwhile program in Central Oregon." Jack Barringer - "Jack has proven to be an extremely valuable asset to both Black Butte Ranch and Project Wildfire. Working closely with BBR Fire and the homeowners association there, he has implemented a successful hazardous fuels reduction program and educated many groups about insect infestation and diseases that are impacting our forests." Susan Bailey - Susan was the driving force behind the creation and implementation of the emergency plan for Tetherow Crossing. Following her committed participation in the development of the Greater Redmond CWPP, Susan continued her focus on one of the highest priorities in Tetherow Crossing subdivision - emergency evacuations. She continues to be active in her homeowners association supporting the emergency plan and the education of all homeowners there about wildfire planning and the need for hazardous fuels reduction. For group recognition: • Awbrey Butte Neighborhood Association - "...for their active participation in the 2007 FireFree wildfire defense program. 2007 marked the first organized year in which homeowners from ABNA took an active role in recognizing the importance of wildland fire safety awareness and education and taking action. ABNA's board of directors recognized the need to provide wildfire education to G~ its homeowners. They distributed FireFree information to all of 2,200 owners in its bi-annual newsletter in April, and also posted up to date information on it's website regarding the Spring clean up dates. The most noteworthy success of ABNA was the collaborative effort of a fuels mitigation project between Bend Fire & Rescue, Bend Public Works, Bend Metro Parks and Recreation and Deschutes County Weed Management. A two acre parcel of land belonging to Bend Metro Parks was used as a demonstration site to show residents the types of hazardous fuels that are prominent in Deschutes County, and to teach residents how to create and maintain a natural fire resistive landscape around their homes. Much of the material was removed, chipped and broadcasted back into the soil, or hauled away. Brooks Resources was also a valuable partner. They contributed to the success of FireFree by funding $2,000 towards debris collection dumpsters during the FireFree weekends. Home consultation requests for wildfire defense have increased measurably for homeowners living on Awbrey Butte, as a direct result of ABNA's impact. ABNA has committed to the continuance of FireFree with plans for 2008, some of which include identifying and targeting hazardous sections of Awbrey Butte, and exploring ideas of reaching the "green industry" to educate landscaping businesses on fire resistive plants and materials." • Upper Deschutes River Natural Resources Coalition - for their focus on private and public land wildfire reduction activities. A major accomplishment has been the implementation of the 2007 revised community wildfire protection plan and dozens of accomplishments over the years including the securing of grant funding to significantly reduce hazardous fuels in the 18 neighborhoods (6,000 lots) that make up the Coalition. For long term achievement awards: Five individuals stand out for recognition in this category for 10+ years of passion and commitment to the safety of our community through their work and dedication to Project Wildfire. Dennis Luke, Tom Fay, Gary Marshall, George Chesley and Wendie Every have each been present since the creation of Project Impact and have led the diverse group through many challenges and accomplishments. Utilizing and sharing their experiences and expertise these individuals have helped to shape the success and future of Project Wildfire. Their dedication to supporting projects in Deschutes County that support the mission of Project Wildfire is only matched by their enthusiasm to ensure the long term success of Project Wildfire. - 4, .

The purposes of the coordinated plan are to 1) improve transportation services for people with disabilities, seniors, and individuals with lower incomes by identifying opportunities to coordinate existing resources; 2) to provide a strategy to guide the investment of financial resources; and 3) to guide the acquisition of future grants. It is the responsibility of Deschutes County to produce, approve, and submit this plan to the Oregon Department of Transportation Public Transit Division by June 30, 2007. This plan originated with the Deschutes County Transportation Coordination Project, a joint effort of Deschutes County, the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) and Central Oregon Partnership (COP). The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) provided project funding and participated on the project steering committee. Governor Ted Kulongoski authorized the project and directed Oregon Solutions to provide facilitation services. Mike Daly, Deschutes County Commissioner, convened the project and invited community, business and public service stakeholders to participate. Commissioner Daly served as the Project Chairman. The stakeholder "Core Team" guided the planning process, developing a vision, principles and goals for public transportation in Deschutes County. Through research, surveys, data analysis and facilitated stakeholder needs identification, the Core Team produced this plan as a means to identify strategies to improve public transportation services. The planning process resulted in the identification of critical public transportation system gaps and barriers, along with proposed strategies to address those barriers: Strategy #1- Protect and strengthen existing transportation services a. Support and strengthen the existing network of private and public transportation providers (protect the assets that are in place - that the community has invested in) b. Pursue a funding strategy that leverages local, state, federal and private resources c. Allocate available public and private resources to implement plan goals Strategy #2 - Improve inter-city and inter-community transportation services a. Establish a system of inter-"community" transportation services that connect population centers such as shuttles and vanpools between communities b. Support and coordinate participation in the statewide "trip-check" and carpool programs c. Provide improved services to human services populations, such as Court ordered groups and populations, the elderly and persons with disabilities, and public service clients such as participants in the federal Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) d. Provide public access to jobs, basic services and life skills, shopping and recreation e. Focus public transportation on access to social and medical services, jobs, shopping, education and recreation f. Encourage and support multi-modal options including pedestrian and bicycle usage Strategy #3 - Increase accessibility to transportation services a. Identify "underserved" areas (geography) and population (demographics) b. Identify transportation-dependent populations geographically c. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing transportation services d. Institute an ongoing evaluation process focused on system effectiveness e. Operate a clearinghouse for transportation information f. Develop an ongoing public education program focused on commuting and transportation services g. Provide transportation options that are sustainable and "environmentally sensitive" h. Maintain public transportation services that are fast, fair, flexible and frequent Strategy #4 - Coordinate Transportation Services a. Identify or develop a regional coordinating entity with the authority, expertise, resources and capacity to coordinate transportation services b. Coordinate transportation services within Deschutes County and the Central Oregon region c. Develop a regional ride scheduling, dispatch and travel information center to facilitate improved coordination d. Provide political and administrative leadership by obtaining the endorsement and active support of elected officials and professional staff e. Create a Public Transportation Advisory Committee to (1) develop partnership agreements with public transportation system stakeholders, (2) identify and support efforts to coordinate public and private investments in public transportation services in Deschutes County and the region, (3) provide guidance and recommendations to elected public officials, and (4) conduct public information and outreach, and facilitate public involvement Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 2 f. Build tools for a coordinated system of public transportation services, including (1) conduct a comprehensive market analysis to inform investment and programming decisions, (2) develop a model agreement to coordination transportation services, (3) develop a coordinated approach to insurance, training, dispatch and other central support services, and (4) develop a model process to attract new public and private investors and service partners According to the statutory requirements, for a public transportation project to be eligible for the STF and/or Public Transit Division Discretionary Grant programs, it must be consistent with or derived from the coordinated plan priorities. The plan priorities will be used by the Deschutes County STF Committee and the ODOT Public Transit Division when reviewing and recommending public transportation funding applications submitted by Deschutes County transportation providers and organizations. Placeholder: add summary of Deschutes County Board of Commissioner action on plan. Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 3 I, i 1. Introduction Rapid population growth and rising fuel prices are accelerating the need for public transportation services for the people and communities of Deschutes County. The elderly, low income, persons with disabilities and persons without the means of personal mobility are particularly disadvantaged by a lack of reliable transportation options. The county's economic and social vitality depend on coordinated transportation systems that link people and communities within the county and throughout Central Oregon. Effective and sustainable solutions must address five fundamental challenges: ■ a dispersed pattern of settlement and economic development, ■ increasing demand for a variety of transportation options, ■ increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of communities in Central Oregon, ■ a diverse and unevenly distributed mix of transportation service providers, and • limited local and regional resources to leverage state, federal and private investments. This coordinated public transportation plan sets forth a set of principles, goals and action items to begin to address these fundamental challenges. The plan is the product of a year of planning, research and deliberations involving a diverse group of stakeholders. Their investment in the planning process is a down-payment towards a more mobile and accessible county and region. The success of this plan depends on a partnership of all transportation stakeholders in Deschutes County and Central Oregon. To be sure, county officials pay a particularly critical leadership role, given their responsibilities to coordinate and allocate federal and state transportation grants. However, their ability to develop and sustain a coordinated system of transportation services is limited by available resources. The framers of this plan recognize that every public and private partner has a role to play in responding to the transportation challenges and pressing needs for transportation services in the county and region. 1.1 Federal and State Plan Requirements This plan will meet federal and state coordinated planning requirements. Beginning in FY 2007, as a condition of Federal assistance, the ODOT Public Transit Division must certify to the U.S. Secretary of Transportation that projects selected for funding derive from locally developed coordinated plans. Also in 2007, Oregon statute requires that Special Transportation Fund (STF) Agencies (counties and Tribe) must complete a plan for their STF programs. These two planning requirements are very similar in intent and timing. To meet these new planning requirements, STF Agencies must complete a single coordinated plan that meets the state and federal requirements. 1.2 Funding Sources Affected ODOT Public Transit Division Discretionary Grant programs and projects funded by STF local formula allocations must be consistent with and derived from the Coordinated Plan. ODOT Discretionary Grant programs include: Formula Program for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities (§5310); New Freedom (§5317) and Job Access Reverse Commute (§5316). 1.3 Definitions Following are definitions for common terms used in this plan. The definitions are in alignment with Oregon Department of Transportation terminology: 1. Public Transportation: Any form of passenger transportation by car, bus, rail or other conveyance, either publicly or privately owned, which provides service to the general public on a regular and continuing basis. Such transportation may include services designed to meet the needs of specific user groups, including the elderly, people with disabilities, and for purposes such as health care, shopping, education, employment, public services and recreation. This planning process does not seek to address needs or priorities related to transportation system infrastructure such as roads, streets, highways or bridges. 2. Coordination: Cooperation between government, providers, businesses, individuals and agencies representing people unable to drive, low income, the elderly, and/or people with disabilities, to more effectively apply funding and other transportation resources to meet common transportation needs. Coordination actions may reduce duplication of services, reduce cost, increase service levels or make services more widely available in communities. 3. Special Populations: Low income individuals, seniors, and people with disabilities. Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 4 2. Stakeholder-Driven Planning Process This plan originated with the Deschutes County Transportation Coordination Project, a joint effort of Deschutes County, the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) and Central Oregon Partnership (COP). The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) provided project funding and participated on the project steering committee. Governor Ted Kulongoski authorized the project and directed Oregon Solutions to provide facilitation services. Mike Daly, Deschutes County Commissioner, convened the project and invited community, business and public service stakeholders to participate. Commissioner Daly served as the Project Chairman. The Project began in the fall of 2005 with organizing meetings of a Steering Committee consisting of representatives from Deschutes County, COP, COIC, ODOT Public Transit Division and Oregon Solutions. Commissioner Daly convened the first meeting of the project committee ("Core Team') in April 2006. The Core Team consisted of following representatives from leading social service providers, educational institutions, government agencies, employers and business representatives and community service organizations. Interested citizens were encouraged to participate as well.

The meetings were generally held on the fourth Thursday of each month, between 9 AM and 12 noon, in one of the following three locations: • Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, 2363 SW Glacier Place, Redmond • Deschutes County Administration, 1300 NW Wall Street, Bend • Oregon Department of Human Services, 1300 NW Wail Street, Bend Attendees, both Core Team members and the general public, were encouraged to participate actively in the meetings, and were provided opportunities to discuss their programs, share information, articulate needs, and identify transportation priorities. Between April and June 2006, the Core Team developed ground rules for its deliberations, and reached consensus on a vision statement and goals. During this time, the Steering Committee compiled a demographic profile of Deschutes County and an inventory of transportation service providers and resources, and received detailed information about state and federal funding programs for public transportation services. From July through September 2006, the Core Team established a sub-committee to assess the depth and breadth of transportation and mobility needs in the county. The sub-committee developed and conducted surveys of employers, service organizations and individuals in August and September 2006. Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 5 a L ~ In October 2006, the Core Team began work on the Deschutes County Public Transportation Plan. A new Steering Committee was recruited to replace departing representatives of the Central Oregon Partnership. The Core Team dedicated its November and December meetings to reach consensus on short and long-term public transportation priorities to better serve the people and communities of Deschutes County. Meetings in April and May refined the strategies and priorities to ensure the needs of special populations were fully considered and integrated. The following plan reflects a consensus of the Core Team based on nearly 12 months of research and deliberations. 3. Vision, Principles and Goals 3.1 Vision Statement The people and communities of Deschutes County are served by the improved coordination of existing transportation services and the creation of a permanent system of public transportation. The countywide system is safe, affordable, reliable, accessible, environmentally sound, flexible, efficient, responsive to diverse transportation needs, and coordinated with regional transportation systems. In short, transportation and mobility services in Deschutes County are fast, fair, flexible and frequent. 3.2 Guiding Principles Deschutes County and its public and private partners shall adhere to the following guiding principles in pursuit of public transportation goals. These principles reflect a holistic approach to the provision of transportation services and therefore do not appear in any particular priority order: 1. Seek broad and diverse public involvement in the planning and implementation of public transportation policies, programs and investments. 2. Avoid duplication of effort and leverage community investments by coordinating its public transportation investments and programs with those of other local and regional governments, transportation service providers, employers and community institutions. 3. Give priority to the transportation and mobility needs of special populations (the elderly, persons with disabilities and persons who cannot afford to drive) and to persons seeking employment opportunities or transportation options. 4. Build off of existing public transportation assets to advance the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Systems Plan and other related County policies. 5. Seek investment and program opportunities that provide multiple benefits by providing access to medical and social services, employment, businesses and personal services, education, recreation and cultural amenities. 6. Pursue adequate and sustained financing strategies to achieve the public transportation principles, goals and action items set forth in this plan. 7. Establish measurable performance benchmarks and standards to guide and govern its public transportation investments. 3.3 Planning Goals This transportation plan represents an initial step to coordinate public transportation services to address the diverse needs of people and communities in Deschutes County. The plan satisfies state and federal planning requirements that link human services to transportation services. To that end, Deschutes County establishes the following initial goals for transportation planning and coordination. 1. Identify present and future transportation needs for people who live, work, conduct business, attend school, seek medical and social services, and recreate in Deschutes County. 2. Align transportation planning efforts with the goal of the Oregon Competitive Employment Project to expand and develop transportation systems and services necessary for competitive employment of individuals with disabilities. Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 6 I C- 3. Develop a shared vision for the ideal public transportation system for Deschutes County. 4. Identify steps to coordinate existing public transportation services and expand services to achieve the shared vision. 5. Prioritize coordination initiatives based on the needs that would be met and the potential for success. 6. Maximize the use of public transportation funds to leverage state, federal and private investments in public transportation services. 7. Implement top priority coordination projects. 4. Resource Analysis There are at least 36 different public transportation providers that operate in Deschutes County, including dial-a-ride systems, public transit, school districts, cab companies, volunteer providers, inter-community providers, business shuttles, and client shuttles. This number does not include an unknown number of church, assisted living vans, and other private providers not inventoried through this project. Collectively, these transportation providers serve all of the employment and residential centers of the County. However, the number of providers that provide services between communities is limited and does not fully meet the needs of the county's public transportation users. Other specific gaps and barriers related to the existing network of transportation providers were identified through this planning effort. A summary of providers can be found in appendix C. Additionally, an inventory of funding resources, other transportation resources, and administrative capacity are found in appendix C. 5. Data Analysis and Needs Assessment COIC and Oregon Solutions reviewed demographic, income and employment, and transportation data from the U.S. Census and other sources to determine the community composition and trends related to special populations. A resource analysis was conducted to determine levels of existing public transportation service, secured and available state and federal funding resources, and administrative capacity within the county. Detailed assessment data are included in this document as appendix B. 5.1 Demographic Analysis Rapid and persistent growth has become a defining characteristic of life in Deschutes County. The US Census Bureau reports that the County added more than 65,000 persons between 1990 and 2005. During this period the County added more than 12,000 persons under age 18, more than 45,000 persons between 18 and 64 years old, and more than 7,500 person aged 65 and older. This growth has increased demands on the County's transportation infrastructure. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) reports that between 1994 and 2004 the average daily traffic volumes at seven key locations in the county increased by 57%, an increase of more than 56,000 vehicles per day. The greatest increase in traffic volumes occurred along Highway 97 at locations north of Redmond and near the intersection of Highway 97 and Highway 20 (north of Mountain View Mall). ODOT predicts that traffic volumes will increase an additional 57% (88,100 vehicles per day) by 2024. Noteworthy trends and statistics - Population data: • Population growth rates continue to outpace state and national averages. See Appendix B, Table 1.1. • Redmond was the fastest growing city in Oregon with a population over 10,000 for the time period from 2000 to 2006, with a growth rate of 74.3%. Bend was second over the same time period, with a growth rate of 44.7%. Sisters was the second fastest growing city of any size in Oregon from 2000 to 2006 with an 82% growth rate, trailing Happy Valley (103.8%). Deschutes County's Hispanic population was the county's fastest growing ethnic group from 1990 to 2000, though growth rates in the Hispanic population were lower than state and US averages. See Appendix B Table 1.4. • The fastest growing age group from 1990 to 2000 was the 50-64 age group. This group increased at a higher rate than Oregon and the US. The slowest growing age group is the Under 5 age group. See Appendix B, Table 1.5. • Deschutes County's senior population will increase as a percent of the county's total population - from 18.5% in 2000 to a projected high of 33.5% in 2040. Additionally, the numbers of 85+ residents will grow steadily. See Appendix B, Table 1.7. • Deschutes County's population is projected to continue growing at higher rates than state average over the next 30 years. See Appendix B, Table 1.3. Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 7 Noteworthy trends and statistics - Income and Employment data: • Deschutes County's average wage, per capita income and median household income are lower than Oregon and US averages. See Appendix B, Table 2.1. • A total of 13,761 Deschutes County residents lived below poverty levels in 2003, including 4,673 children. See Appendix B, Table 2.3. • Home prices increased sharply in Deschutes County from 2000 to 2006, at rates higher than neighboring counties. See Appendix B, Table 2.4. Noteworthy trends and statistics - Transportation data: • Deschutes County worker mean travel time to work is lower than state and federal averages. See Appendix B, Table 3.2. • According to the U.S. Census, average travel time for commuters in Central Oregon has increased over the past five years (53% of workers traveled 11 or more minutes to work in 2004, compared with 46.4% in 2000). See Appendix B, Table 3.1. • The region has seen an increase in workers traveling from one county to another for work from 1990 to 2000 - with the increases being experienced in Crook and Jefferson counties. Deschutes County has the highest percentage of their employees that reside within the county, and also imports more workers from the other counties. Jefferson County had the largest number of residents who commuted to another county for employment. See Appendix B, Table 3.3. • According to the U.S. Census, carpool rates in Central Oregon are higher than Oregon or U.S. averages. Each Central Oregon county increased carpool rates from 1990 to 2000, over a time period when the Oregon and U.S. rates declined. See Appendix B, Table 3.5. • The Central Oregon Workforce Housing Needs Assessment (Housing Works, 2006) results indicate that the community with the highest percentage of workers coming from other communities is Redmond, with only 52.9% of Redmond workers residing in Redmond. Madras trailed Redmond slightly in terms of importing workers (55.2% of Madras workforce lives in the community). Prineville had the highest percentage of workers who also lived in the community (84.4%). See Appendix B, Table 3.4. 5,2 Survey of Transportation Service Demands The Deschutes County Transportation Coordination Project distributed surveys to businesses, organizations, employees, and agency clients to better understand the changing demands for transportation services. The goal was to collect information on commute patterns, workforce transportation challenges, client transportation challenges, and general interest in utilizing inter-community transit services. The project received 1,119 responses, including 983 surveys from employees of 17 employers in Deschutes County. The major employee responses came from T Mobile (336 employee surveys), Columbia Aircraft (153 surveys), Deschutes County (66 surveys), City of Bend (53 surveys), and Eagle Crest (53 surveys). In addition, the project received responses from 27 employers, 17 agency/organizations, and 92 responses from the clients of 5 agencies in Deschutes County, including COIC, Bend Metro Park and Recreation District, Oregon Employment Department, Oregon Department of Human Services, and Deschutes County Mental Health. Key Findings of Need: • 45% of employees work in a different community than they reside. • 52% of employees said they would ride a bus or shuttle system between communities, while 29% were undecided. • 62% of manufacturing employees said they would ride a bus or shuttle system, which was the highest percentage by sector grouping. The lowest sector grouping percentage was the professional and service sector, with 45% responding that they would ride a bus or shuttle system between communities. • 77% of employees who would ride a bus or shuttle between communities would ride to/from work. The second highest destination was shopping at 29%. Manufacturing employees had the highest rate of interest in riding to/from work (89%). • A bus or shuttle system between Bend and Redmond was the most popular inter-community route, with 38% of the employees, 41% of the organizations and 30% of the clients identifying it as the highest priority route. • Routes within Bend were the second highest priority, garnering 13% of employee responses, 11% of organizations, and 22% of clients. • Assuming the service could meet their transportation needs, 63% of employees would ride the service either "daily" or "twice or more per week." Deschutes County Coordinated Human Services Public Transportation Plan Page 8 • 33% of employers said they have challenges in attracting or retaining employees due to transportation costs and/or availability, while 63% said that they had no challenges. • 48% of employers said that their employees have a need for a tri-county transportation system, with 7% responding "maybe." 33% of employers said their employees do not need a tri-county transportation system. • 76% of agencies/organizations said that their clients have transportation needs that are not served by existing transportation services. These agencies estimated that 2,145 clients per month lack transportation. • 72% of agency clients would ride a bus or shuttle system between communities, with 60% riding to services/medical appointments and 54% to shopping destinations. 5.3 Analysis of Common Transportation Origins and Destinations COIC staff implemented a brief survey of transportation and human service providers to identify common transportation origins and destinations, and to identify where special populations need to travel but are unable to due to cost, lack of service, or other reason. Not surprisingly, common origins were most likely to be low-income neighborhoods and subsidized housing, nursing homes, and continuing care facilities. The most commonly-cited destinations were medical facilities, grocery stores, social service offices (e.g. DHS office), and employment assistance centers. Respondents noted that large places of employment are also key destinations for special populations, but did not tend to identify individual locations.

A brief description of each of the fund sources, along with project programming information is provided below. Federal Funding Programs In August 2005, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) was signed into law. SAFEATEA-LU built on the initiatives established in the two prior transportation legislation packages. Under these Acts, State and local governments were given more flexibility in determining transportation solutions, whether transit, highways, or multimodal projects. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Funding The Federal Transit Administration carries out the federal mandate to improve public transportation systems. It is the principal source of federal assistance to help urban areas (and, to some extent, non-urban areas) plan, develop, and improve comprehensive public transportation systems. The funding programs administered by the FTA include, but are not limited to, the following: Sections 53031530415305 Metropolitan & Statewide Planning Section 5307 Large Urban Areas Section 5309 Discretionary Capital Program Section 5310 Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Section 5311 Rural and Small Urban Areas Program Section 5311(b)(3) Rural Transit Assistance Program Section 5311(c) Public Transportation on Indian Reservations Program Section 5316 Jobs Access and Reverse Commute Program Section 5317 New Freedom Program University Transportation Centers Program (TEA-21 5505) A summary of these programs follows: SECTION 5303 FUNDS - METROPOLITAN AND STATEWIDE PLANNING Transit Section 5303 funds are part of the Transit Planning and Research Program. The Metropolitan planning funds are allocated to states under a formula apportionment. Typically, the 5303 allocations are spent for transit planning and coordination within metropolitan planning areas (areas with populations greater than 50,000). The match rate is generally 80% federal, 20% state or local. SECTION 5307 FUNDS - LARGE URBAN AREAS The Section 5307 Formula Grant Program makes funds available on the basis of a statutory formula to all urbanized areas in the country. For capital projects, the match rate is generally 80% federal, 20% state or local. Capital funds are used for transit maintenance (e.g., replacing buses), as well as other projects. For operating assistance, the match rate is 50% federal, 50% state or local. (Only Small Urban Areas - 50,000-200,000 population are allowed to use 5307 for operations.) SECTION 5309 FUNDS - DISCRETIONARY CAPrrAL PROGRAM The transit capital investment program (Section 5309) provides capital assistance for three primary activities: 1) new and replacement buses and facilities, 2) modernization of existing rail systems, and 3) new fixed guideway systems (New Starts). Congress fully earmarks all funding available through this program. The match for New Starts funding is generally 80% federal, 20% local. Prior legislation required that at least 5.5% of the total funding allocation be used in non-urbanized areas (have not confirmed whether this carried into SAFETEA-LU). SECTION 5310 FUNDS - ELDERLY PERSONS & PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES The Section 5310 program provides transportation services for the elderly and persons with disabilities. The funds may go to private nonprofit organizations or to public bodies that coordinate service. Funds can continue to be used for capital costs but acquisition of transportation services under contract, lease or other arrangements and state program administration are also eligible expenses. Section 5310 funds are awarded on an annual competitive basis. Capital projects are eligible for funding. The match rate is generally 80% Federal, 20% local. SECTION 5311 FUNDS - RURAL AND SMALL URBAN AREAS This program provides formula funding to states for the purpose of supporting public transportation in areas of less than 50,000 population. It is apportioned in proportion to each State's non-urbanized population. Funding may be used for capital, operating, State administration, and project administration expenses. Each state must use 15% of its annual apportionment to support intercity bus service, unless the Governor certifies that these needs of the state are adequately met. Projects to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Clean Air Act, or bicycle access projects, may be funded at 90% Federal match. The maximum FTA share for operating assistance is 50% of the net operating costs. SECTION 5311(B)((3) FUNDS - RURAL TRANSIT ASSISTANCE The Rural Transit Assistance Program provides a source of funding to assist in the design and implementation of training and technical assistance projects and other support services tailored to meet the needs of transit operators in nonurbanized areas. This program has both State and national program components. The State program provides an annual allocation to each State to develop and implement training and technical assistance programs in conjunction with the State's administration of the Section 5311 formula assistance program. The national program provides for the development of information and materials for use by local operators and State administering agencies and supports research and technical assistance projects of national interest. There is no Federal requirement for a local match. SECTION 5311(C) FUNDS - PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ON INDIAN RESERVATIONS The purpose of this program is to provide public transportation on Indian reservations through a set aside of Section 5311 Program funds for direct grants to Indian Tribes. Allocations of these funds and terms and conditions for awarding grants are to be determined after outreach to stakeholders. SECTION 5316 FUNDS - JOBS ACCESS AND REVERSE COMMUTE The twofold purpose of the JARC program is (1) to develop transportation services designed to transport low-income individuals to and from jobs, and (2) to develop transportation services for residents of urban centers and rural and suburban areas to suburban employment opportunities.

Research and education activities address transportation planning, analysis and management, with special emphasis on increasing the number of highly skilled individuals entering the field of transportation. Participating universities conduct basic and applied research, education programs that include multidisciplinary course work and participation in research, and ongoing programs of technology transfer that make research results available to potential users. The Federal share is 50%. Portland State University is a designated University Transportation Center. There may be opportunities for planning and research assistance projects in central Oregon. State Funding Programs STATE SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION FUND (STF) ODOTs Public Transit section administers a *discretionary grant program derived from state cigarette tax revenues that provides supplementary support for elderly and disabled transportation services. A competitive process has been established for awarding STF discretionary funds. STF funds are programmed on an annual basis. *Discretionary Grant Program Biennial solicitation for mainly capital projects that benefit seniors, people with disabilities, and low income individuals. Public Transit Division distributes 5310, New Freedom, ]arc, STF discretionary (portion not formula), Intercity, and 5311 capital funds through this program. Seventy five percent of the annual STF funding is distributed using a population-based formula to each transportation district or the county if there is not a district, and to Indian Tribes. These recipients are the STF Agencies and act as the governing body of their portion of the STF. Section 5311 is also distributed on a formula basis to general public systems. Local Options PROPERTY TAXES Local property taxes can be used to fund various transportation services, including public transportation services. The property tax caps imposed by Measure 5 may limit the ability to use this funding source. FAREsox REVENUE Farebox revenues can help cover a percentage of the operating expense of a transit system. TRANSIENT ROOM TAX Many communities in central Oregon levy a tax on gross room receipts on hotel/motel rooms. These funds could be used to fund public transportation services. PAYROLL TAX Payroll taxes are used in some areas to support public transportation operations. FRANCHISE FEES Many communities in central Oregon charge franchise fees to various utilities that use public right-of-way. These revenues could be used to help fund public transportation services.
