Capital Metro's board Deaths and funerals OKs $76 million budget BY CHRISTINE GRANADOS American-Statesman Staff Capital Metro's Board of Directors approved a $75.8 million budget Thursday on a 6-1 vote. The sole dissenter was Paul Drummond, vice chairman of the board. Drummond pointed to increases in the local tax subsidies for riders and challenged the board to increase ridership. "What disturbs me is that.

we are spending more tax dollars to carry riders" he said. "We are collecting more sales tax revenues, and the amount of ridership is not going up nearly as much." He said Capital Metro has been criticized in the past for its high sales tax revenues. Fiscal 1995 Capital Metro sales taxes revenues are estimated to be $68 million. Drummond challenged the board to increase ridership in order to justify the sales tax revenue. "His opinion was legitimate, but we have to keep in mind that the 1990 ratio is ratio from a free fare year," said Howard Goldman, spokesman for Capital Metro.

"All the board agrees with Paul. The system needs to continue to grow and attract continuous ridership." Goldman said ridership has increased 3 percent from last year and continues to grow. "More people ride Capital Metro now than ever before," he said. "It's the fastest service in the United States." Scott Polikov, a board member, agreed with Drummond and said it is the board's responsibility to increase ridership, but the task could not fall on their hands alone. He said the community and Capital Metro staff must share in the responsibility.

The adopted budget, $4.2 million more than last year's, includes expansions in routes and special transit and van pool services offered by the transit authority, 24 new special transit service sedans that provide million for new park-and-ride vice to people with disabilities, lots and $1 million for transfer center development.
