MEMORANDUM
TO:
MDTA Board
FROM: SUBJECT:
Director of Budget, Jeffrey Brown
Fiscal Year 2025 Operating Budget - Amendment #2
DATE:
March 27, 2025
PURPOSE OF MEMORANDUM The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) requests approval of an amendment to increase the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Operating Budget by $7.3 million to account for the accelerated purchase of police vehicles in current fiscal year that were originally planned for FY 2026. According to Section 6.17 of the Trust Agreement, the budget may be amended at any time during the current fiscal year. The budget amendment was also presented during the March 13 Finance and Administration Committee meeting. The Committee agreed to move the item forward to the full Board with recommendation for approval. SUMMARY As a result of collective bargaining, 90 police vehicles must be purchased and distributed by July 1, 2025. The FY 2025 Amended Operating Budget totals $441.4 million. This represents an increase of $7.3 million, or 1.7%, above the previous FY 2025 budget. The previous FY 2025 budget anticipated vehicle distribution after July 1, 2025. Consequently, the funds for these vehicles were budgeted in FY 2026 instead of FY 2025. The budget change represents a shift in funding between the two years, not a net increase.
