Jacksonville Transportation Authority Board of Directors Work Session
The Board conducted a work session to deliberate on the Fiscal Year 2027 operating and capital budgets. Key discussions included addressing a projected $17.5 million funding gap driven by declining sales tax revenue and rising operating costs. The Board evaluated various budget scenarios involving service modifications, potential fare increases, and administrative reductions. Staff and board members analyzed ridership impacts, service area challenges, and the necessity of Title VI reviews for service changes. The Board ultimately directed staff to proceed with a conservative budget projection and a modified scenario that incorporates both service adjustments and fare modifications for final consideration.
