TARC FY 2026-27 Budget
Summary
TARC's $110.5 million budget advanced, but the TARC 3 paratransit program is a growing cost: $47 per one-way trip against a $4.50 fare, potentially rising to $70. TARC has never enforced the federal three-quarter-mile service boundary, an estimated $5-7 million annual exposure, and the agency's fiscal cliff has been pushed to FY 2031.
