Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code 47-363(a) and to the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, approved December 27, 2020 (P.L. 116-260), the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayors request to reprogram Fiscal Year
2021 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $2,509,570 within the Department of For-Hire
Vehicles (DFHV).
This action will reprogram budget authority within DFHVs Operations program, from
Comptroller Source Group (CSG) 50 (Subsidies and Transfers) to CSGs 11 (Regular Pay
Continuing Full Time) and 14 (Fringe Benefits Current Personnel). This reprogramming is
needed to cover personnel services related expenses. Funds are available because of savings
generated from lower Transport DC ridership as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Office of Budget and Plannings analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DFHVs budget or the Districts financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. DeWitt

DATE: December 2, 2020
SUBJECT: Urgent Reprogram Request of FY 2021 Local Fund within the Department of
For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV)
Department of For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV) is requesting a budget reprogramming of $2,509,570
within Local Fund.
Why are the funds needed?
The Department of For Hire Vehicle (DFHV) is expecting a shortfall of around $5.3 million in FY21
due to impact of the public health emergency (PHE) on the for-hire vehicle industry. DFHVs
projected revenue for FY21 is $2.7 million, a 73% drop from a normal year. The agency will have
resource to cover PS cost until the pay period 12/5/2020. The funds are needed to address personnel
service costs for 10 pay periods.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
DFHV is proposing to reprogram $2,509,570 to cover PS costs until pay period end date April 24, 2021
(10 pay periods). Additional support may be needed beyond that date since SPR revenues are not
anticipated to return to normal before the end of FY 2021. The funds will be reprogrammed within
Local funds, from Subsidies and Transfers (CSG 0050) to Personal Services (PS) (CSGs 0011 and
0014). Detailed funding codes are outlined in the attached spreadsheet.
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available in DFHVs Local funds budget, which supports Transport DC, due to lower-
than-anticipated Transport DC ridership during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds can be used on a
temporary basis without impacting the Transport DC program through at least March 2021. Additional
funding that may be needed to continue the Transport DC program for the remainder of FY 2021 will be
considered as part of the Mayors FY 2021 supplemental budget.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
The agency will be unable to continue operation and pay for employee salaries after pay period
12/5/2020.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
Transport DC will continue to operate until March with its remaining funds after reprogramming
is completed. No other programs will be delayed as a result of the action.
Should you have any questions, please contact Bright A. Ahaiwe, AFO, at 202-442-7822.
