Future Transit Capital Funding Needs 3
2007 General Assembly authorized CTB to issue $3 billion in CPR bonds Transit • Minimum of 20 percent of bond proceeds ($60 million annually) required for transit capital through 2019 Capital CPR bonds comprise 44 percent ($110 million) of the Project entire transit capital program in FY 2018 Revenue In 2008, Congress provided $150M in funding to WMATA Bonds and required $50M match from VA, DC and MD • Ten-year funding commitment expires in 2020 • Funding for VA Match is from CPR Bonds 4
Future Transit Capital Funding Gap 5
Capital program currently uses a tiered Transit prioritization process: Capital • Tier 1: Rolling stock for replacement or expansion and Allocation related items: 68% State Share Process • Tier 2: Infrastructure and facilities: 34% State Share • Tier 3: Other (Support vehicles, technology, shop equipment, spare parts, etc.): 17% State Share 6
100% Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 90% 80% 68% 70% State 60% 49% Match 50% Rate 40% 27% 30% 18% 20% 10% 0% 0% 0% 0% 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 7

Virginia should consider a funding approach that utilizes: • A combination of revenue sources to spread the impact or a single statewide source that is predictable and sustainable • Revenue sources that ramp up gradually to address future gaps and Funding needs • A combination of statewide and regional sources with the majority Principles of support coming from statewide sources • An approach for regional funds directed to prioritized needs within that region • A floor on regional taxes • Excess Priority Transportation Fund revenues (after debt service) dedicated to transit capital as this source becomes available 10

Transit Capital Spending by Virginia transit Each year, Virginia agencies generates transit agencies spend: $630 million on capital, including $600 million $ 440 million in tax revenues to $150 million the Commonwealth in productivity costs on state of good repair from Metro and VRE investment (NVTC, 2018) 13
2018- Bus Administration and Construction facility Case Studies costs $40m with a $4m local match in Transit: 2020- Without transit capital revenue replacement, Blacksburg same facility costs $40m with a $32m local match Transit $28m additional local money needed 14 Virginia Chamber of Commerce
