Like many organizations in the community, we've been challenged with finding 1 <br /> employees. We are finally in a good position, although we do have several part-time and full-time <br /> positions currently open. We do rely on local, state and federal funding. Locally it is through the <br /> County Option Income Tax and property taxes. Through the State it comes through the Public <br /> Mass Transportation Fund, and then various federal funding sources as well. We currently operate <br /> forty-nine(49)fixed-route vehicles and seventeen(17)paratransit vans,and we serve the Cities of <br /> South Bend and Mishawaka. We've had several accomplishments in 2018. <br /> Chris Kubaszak, Controller at Transpo, 1401 S. Lafayette Blvd., (referring to the presentation <br /> which is available in the City Clerk's Office) stated, This is a breakout of our revenue, and you'll <br /> see that thirty-six percent (36%) of our revenue comes from property tax and County Option <br /> Income Tax. The State funding for preventative maintenance comes to us through INDOT. If you <br /> look at our pass-through revenue,it only makes up thirteen percent(13%)of our budget.The other <br /> INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY <br /> JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BIANCA L.TIRADO JOSEPH R.MOLNAR <br /> CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK <br /> EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT <br /> 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.92211f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov <br />
