The Community Transit Board of Directors will hold a public hearing on the agency’s Proposed 2016 Budget at its regular monthly meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5 in the Community Transit Board Room at 7100 Hardeson Road, Everett, 98203, accessible by Everett Transit Route 8.

The agency has proposed a “status quo” budget which funds service at current levels next year. A ballot measure to increase funding for Community Transit service is on today’s ballot, and the board will discuss implications of that measure’s results on Thursday as well.

If the ballot measure succeeds, the board may approve the 2016 budget as proposed, then take up a revised budget early in the new year.

The board is expected to approve the 2016 Proposed Budget at its December 3 meeting.
