  18. Other Information/Assumptions: • Pike County Transportation, since its’ inception July 1, 2011, has increased ridership, revenue, and the number of applications received for all programs. Additional personnel has been hired due to the demand. • Pike County continues to be the fastest-growing county in the Commonwealth. Current 2010 Census indicates growth of 20,000+-. • Being a rural county, our trip lengths are longer than many counties due to the distances travelled. Our fare structure – by zones – increases revenue. Due to the distances travelled daily, the “ life “ of our vehicles is decreased and the frequency of repairs rise due to rural road conditions. • As a department, we have worked diligently as a team to provide safe, timely, and dependable transportation to Pike County residents. If the past is any indication of the future, the demands placed on this department will continue to increase in the coming years as more and more people move into the area. Due to our location, we have many people moving into the area and commuting by car or train to NYC for employment. • At the request of the Pike County Commissioners, the Director has made numerous presentations at local meetings, Senior Groups, etc. and has conducted an extensive media campaign resulting in a large increase to our various client bases.

  19. Capital Status Review • Vehicle replacement plan is on tract. New, larger vehicles have been placed into service. Additional vehicles have been purchased as needed. • Our offices will soon be relocating to the Pike County Administration Building, and we will be purchasing additional office equipment as needed. • Pike County Commissioners are pro-Transportation, and are involved in future planning of the needs of this department. Within the coming years Pike County should have its own Maintenance Facility for all County Vehicles.
