FY 2026 Final Operating Budget Page Three

• Other Additional Equipment (1199) increased $0.6 million due to the requirement for vaults (stores firearms) in police vehicles.

• E-ZPass Service Center Costs increase by $0.5 million primarily due to funding for double blind image reviews.

• Legal Services (0817) increase by $0.3 million primarily due to FSK litigation.

• Statewide Enterprise Budget System (0897) costs increase by $0.3 million due to increased contractual pricing.

• Contractual employee step increases (0220) total less than $0.1 million.

• All other increases total $0.8 million across various responsibility centers (RCs) with no individual RC increasing more than $0.1 million.

The key variances for the $7.4 million reduction in operating budget spending are as follows:

• Vehicle Purchases (0701) decline by $6.2 million, primarily due to the transfer of funding from FY 2026 to FY 2025 for MDTA police take home vehicles.

• Engineers (0807) declined by $0.5 million due to a shift to more capital work vs. operating work.

• Vehicle Purchases – Other Land Vehicles (0730) declines $0.2 million due to updated safety and maintenance equipment needs.

• Building/Road Repairs & Maintenance (0812) costs decline by $0.1 million, primarily due lower expense requirements at the Bay Bridge.

• All other decreases total $0.4 million across various RCs.
