Minimum 20 ‐ year Horizon Fiscal Constraint • A demonstration of sufficient funds (Federal, State, regional, local, private, etc.) to implement proposed transportation system improvements through the comparison of revenues and costs , with reasonable assurance that the federally supported transportation system is being adequately operated and maintained Funding Forecast based on Reasonably Available Funds • Funds derived from an existing source dedicated to or historically used for transportation purposes Costs expressed in Year ‐ of ‐ Expenditure • To properly reflect anticipated inflation 3 Source: Federal Register 23 CFR 450, Statewide and Metropolitan Transportation Planning

In order for FHWA to issue a ROD: • Project needs to be FULLY FUNDED THROUGH CONSTRUCTION in the LRTP OR • A phase of the project needs to be in the LRTP, with the subsequent phase fully funded in the TIP Source: FHWA Supplement to January 28, 2008 “Transportation Planning Requirements and Their Relationship to NEPA Process 5 Completion” (February 9, 2011, updated April 7, 2011)

Maintenance • Set aside funding to cover projected maintenance needs for 2014 ‐ 2040 Needs Regional Funds • Funding Plan for HRTAC Projects to be developed by HRTAC • Funding Plan & HRTAC Projects will be included in fiscally ‐ constrained (HRTAC) 2040 LRTP Distribution of • Highway and Transit Funding Split (based on historical funding) • Roadway System Distribution (based on historical funding) Funding • Active Transportation “Grouped” • Set aside funding to cover “Grouped” Projects Projects* * “Grouped” Projects include turn lanes, signals, safety projects, widening of 6 collector/local roadways, regular bus routes, etc.)
