Summary
Valley Transit's 2027 budget is essentially flat except for wages, with major capital purchases 80% federally funded. The risk is diesel: the budget assumes $3.75 a gallon but recent purchases topped $5, which could force cuts later in the year.

Impact analysis
Fuel is budgeted at $562,500 for 150,000 gallons; every dime above $3.75 a gallon comes out of a flat budget.
Riders and municipal partners benefit from a flat budget that keeps local contributions stable.
If fuel stays expensive, service or other spending could be squeezed later in the year.
