2 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Board Action/Information Summary Action Information MEAD Number: Resolution: Yes No TITLE: Update on the Multi-year Budget Plan Development PURPOSE: To continue the discussion on the annual budget and strategic plan priorities for the multiyear business plan and FY2013 Operating Budget. DESCRIPTION: The multi-year business plans for the operating and capital budgets incorporate and reflect the organization's strategic and business priorities: Safety, State of Good Repair, Performance/Efficiency and Customer Service. A multi-year budget plan improves coordination between capital projects and operations, increases synergy across departments and allows for evaluation of expense offsets through either increases to revenue or decreases to cost. The basis of the multi-year budgeting effort is an assessment of our core business including defining the essential performance outputs from bus, rail and Access; and the identification of new business initiatives. Each initiative is evaluated based on how it aligns with Metro's strategic goals and the impact on the key performance indicators. The discussion on the multi-year business initiatives provides a preliminary view of the FY2013 budget plan. FUNDING IMPACT: No funding impact at this time RECOMMENDATION: Board discussion
