<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in;text-align:justify'><font size=2
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>For the past year, the
funding for the Wheatland Express service between Moscow/University of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State></st1:place> and
Pullman/Washington State University has been at issue due to budget constraints
at the UI, which contracts equally with WSU for the service. The amount of the
WSU/UI contract (approximately $200,000) with Wheatland Express serves as
"in kind" match for Federal Transportation Administration grants
which represents the largest part of Moscow Valley Transit funding. Loss of the
Wheatland Express service would reduce or eliminate match required for the
grants. A steering group consisting of representatives of the City of <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City></st1:place>, Moscow
Transportation Commission, UI, Wheatland Express and Moscow Valley Transit has
been meeting for the past several months in order to work toward a solution to
the immediate funding of these public transit services. Mayor Chaney has
agreed to include an increase in Public Transit funding from $40,000 to $60,000
in FY2008. The Moscow Public Works/Finance Committee was advised of the
situation on February 26 and indicated support for the increase in funding. The
attached Memo describes the proposed resolution which will provide funding for
public transit until the fall of 2008. This provides time for stakeholders to continue
to work on a permanent long term solution.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
