3 Ohio Department of Transportation Central Office, P.O. Box 899, Columbus, Ohio To: The Honorable Bob Taft, Governor Members of the Ohio Legislature Citizens of Ohio Good news is on the horizon for Ohio s transportation system. After almost two years of tireless lobbying on behalf of Ohio citizens, Governor Bob Taft and Ohio s congressional delegation can declare victory in securing a larger share of federal funds to help rebuild our state s aging roadway network. Under the new provisions of the federal transportation bill, Ohio will receive almost a 38 percent increase from the previous bill, TEA-21. This represents the seventh largest share of funding among all the states. Additionally, the rate of return on our federal gas tax dollars will increase to 92 percent and the total share of revenues going to Ohio will rise from 3.4 percent of all revenues nationally to 3.6 percent. The bill also establishes federal earmarks for 245 projects in Ohio totaling $464 million. This includes federal dollars over and above the core transportation program funding for the Cleveland Innerbelt ($85 million), $10 million for safety projects and $20.5 million for I-70/I-71 in Columbus. This increased federal funding will now be combined with additional state funds enacted by the Ohio Legislature in 2003 to fully fund Governor Taft s Jobs and Progress Plan. The Jobs and Progress Plan represents the largest transportation initiative since the creation of the interstate highway system. During the next decade, the additional $5 billion generated by state and federal funding will help stimulate Ohio s economy and create new jobs by rebuilding Ohio s aging highway network. Jobs and Progress will generate more than 4,000 jobs, ease freeway congestion, improve road safety and connect rural regions while maintaining the existing roads and bridges that Ohioans use. State and federal funds have also been put to good use in developing new strategies to improve safety by reducing truck traffic on two-lane routes parallel to the Ohio Turnpike. Under the Governor s Northern Ohio Freight Plan, ODOT has worked with the Ohio Turnpike to lower tolls for commercial trucks; increase truck weight and speed enforcement on parallel state routes; and increase the speed limit for trucks using the Ohio Turnpike from 55 mph to 65 mph. Under the 18-month trial period, ODOT will provide about $ 23 million to the Ohio Turnpike to cover the cost of reducing tolls. These achievements are celebrated against the backdrop of tremendous challenges in the past two years. In 2004/2005, Ohio experienced five major disasters that cost Ohioans well over $210 million. The disasters included widespread flooding in southern Ohio and record snowfall in at least 26 counties throughout the state. Some of these dollars have and will be recovered through disaster assistance provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Highway Administration. The remaining funds will be covered on the state level through sound fiscal practices that allow us to respond to these emergencies. As we reflect over the past biennium and we look toward the future, I m reminded of a quote from Ronald Reagan: Every new day begins with possibilities. It s up to us to fill it with the things that bring progress and peace. Thanks to our elected leaders, we now have the means to begin that new day and a plan in place to bring progress throughout Ohio. We at ODOT appreciate all your hard work and financial support over the past few years. We intend to continue investing your resources wisely. Respectfully, Gordon Proctor, Director Ohio Department of Transportation AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

10 ODOT has three primary funding sources: State, Federal and Bond Revenue. These sources are used by ODOT to preserve the existing state infrastructure, provide funding for local infrastructure, complete major/new projects and cover the department s operating costs. Additionally, funds are provided through the SIB and Local Government Participation. (1) Actual usage of legislatively approved appropriations for that fund year, estabilshed in the approved Legislative Budget, without regard to when the activity occurred. (2) Fiscal Year 2005 is estimated for these items. -1-

11 (3) All Fiscal Years had less than $500,000 in uses. Therefore, due to rounding to the nearest million, uses will not show on this chart. -2-

13 Transportation Funding Sources

14

15 Transportation Funding Sources: State The State Motor Fuel tax comprises nearly 86% of the total state revenue ODOT receives. The chart below represents the distribution of the 26 per gallon State Motor Fuel Tax. The 26 fuel tax is comprised of a sum of five separate levies. After 0.875% is allocated to the Waterways Safety Fund and 0.125% to the Wildlife Boater Angler Fund, the balance of the proceeds are distributed as follows: Of the 26 tax per gallon sold, ODOT receives approximately per gallon for use on construction projects, all associated operating costs and debt retirement. Of this, ODOT has dedicated approximately 2.36 to paying down the state bond debt. -4-

16 Transportation Funding Sources: State The graph of Ohio Motor Fuel Taxed illustrates the economic trends in motor fuel usage over the past 20 years: / The increased diesel fuel consumption relates directly to the increasing truck traffic on Ohio s highways. / The decreased consumption of gasoline and the increased consumption of gasohol relate directly to the increased use of blended fuel which uses both gasoline and ethanol. -5-

17 Transportation Funding Sources: State The above graph illustrates the fact that overall gasoline/gasohol consumption has gradually grown over the past 20 years along with the gradual growth in price/gallon. However, sharp increases in price are usually followed by a slight decrease in consumption. The above graph shows the movement of gas price from in constant dollars. -6-

18 Transportation Funding Sources: State The chart and table below show ODOT s major state revenue sources and distribution. -7-

19 Transportation Funding Sources: Federal Along with the State Motor Fuel Tax, there is Federal Motor Fuel Tax collected that contributes to the preservation, rebuilding, and expansion of the nation s highway system as well as provides funding for public transit systems. Below is how Ohio s contributions are distributed. $1.68 Billion Federal Funding: $100 Million Emergency Funds Ohio s FY 2005 Federal Highway Formula Funding is based on Federal Tax revenue from 6.65 billion gallons of Motor Fuel during Federal Motor Fuel Tax attributed to Ohio totaled about $1.1 billion of the $28.96 billion received in the Highway Trust Fund Account, and about $194 million of the $4.8 billion received in the Mass Transit Account. Ohio s $1.1 billion share of the 2003 Highway Trust Fund Account revenues was about 3.8%. Federal Highway formula rules require Ohio s 2005 funding covered by the equity guarantee to be 90.5% of this or 3.44%. FHWA 2005 Funding subject to the guarantee is about $31.7 billion. Therefore, Ohio s 3.44% is about $1.09 billion. In 2005 ODOT also received over $100 million of Special Emergency Highway funding resulting from 3 separate events in Calendar Year $643 Million for Ohio DOT Highway Programs not Earmarked Funds used for ODOT s Interstate Maintenance, Major New, Safety and System Preservation Programs. $302 Million Not Available to Ohio DOT Ohio is considered a Donor state. A portion of federal trust fund revenues attributed to Ohio are apportioned to other states. As a result, about $196 million from the Highway Account and $52 million from the Mass Transit Account were provided to other states. Not all of the Federal Motor Fuel Tax is distributed to the Highway Trust Fund. Two and one half cents per gallon of Gasohol sold was distributed to the General Fund. Also one tenth of a cent per gallon of all fuels sold is distributed to the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund. For Ohio, this means $54 million of Motor Fuel Taxes were diverted away from Highway & Transit programs. $142 Million for Mass Transit About $174 million in total was made available to Ohio for Mass Transit Programs. Of this amount, $142 million was from the Mass Transit Account of the Federal Highway Trust Fund, and $32 million was from the General Fund. $78 Million for Debt Service and Lease Payments This represents the Federal funding needed for the 2005 debt service on the Garvee bonds issued for the Spring/Sandusky, Maumee River Bridge, and Southeast Ohio Plan projects, and the lease with the Butler TID. $298 Million for Local Programs Although ODOT is required to pass thru $100 million in Federal Funding to local Governments, by discretion ODOT provided nearly $263 million to local Governments, including funding for Metropolitan Planning Organizations, city and county bridges, and various enhancement projects. In addition to this amount, $35 million is for various paving projects on state routes within urban areas. $120 Million Dedicated Federal Projects Due to Congress passing the next reauthorization bill ten months into FY 2005, this year has consisted of numerous extensions of TEA-21. Consequently, with no clear idea of individual programs, appropriations have refrained from any extensive earmarking. With the recent passage of SAFETEA-LU, Ohio High Priority and other earmark projects will average about $90 million a year. Other Dedicated Federal projects are Appalachian Development - $20 million, and Discretionary - $10 million. -8-

20 Transportation Funding Sources: Federal $158 Million MPO / Large Cities ODOT is required to pass through $60 to $70 million annually in Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds to Ohio s urban areas. In addition to the required suballocation, ODOT also provides additional STP funds, Congestion Mitigation & Air Quality funds, and Enhancement funds, which in total amount is about twice of which is required. $35 Million Urban Paving Initiative This annual allocation is provided to ODOT s districts to pay 80% of resurfacing on state routes within municipalities. The districts prioritize projects based on pavement condition ratings. $19.9 Million County STP Funds are provided to counties for projects that can be used for road and bridge work, and safety projects. These funds are administered by the County Engineer s Association of Ohio. $30 Million County Local Bridge ODOT passes through money to counties that must be spent on off-system bridges. This amounts to about $20 million annually, and then adds additional bridge funds to help counties eliminate bridge deficiencies. These funds are administered by the County Engineer s Association of Ohio. $7.8 Million Small Cities This program provides funds by application to Ohio s 59 small cities (between 5,000 to 25,000 population) for road, safety and signal projects on the Federal-aid system. $14 Million Enhancements Funds are available for ODOT-owned/maintained facilities, and to local governments outside MPOs by an annual application process for projects that enhance surface transportation sights. Funding categories are Historic & Archaeological, Scenic & Environmental, and Bicycle & Pedestrian. $8.1 Million Municipal Bridge Municipal corporations may apply for funds for bridge replacement or bridge rehabilitation. There are 1,300 eligible bridges. $25 Million Local Major Bridge Funds are available to counties or municipal corporations for replacement or major rehabilitation of a moveable bridge or a bridge with deck area greater than 35,000 square feet. There are 51 eligible bridges. -9-

21 Transportation Funding Sources: Federal The maps below show the Donor/Donee states for both Highway and Transit. Donor states receive less than 100% of their contribution to the federal highway trust fund. Donee states receive greater than 100% of their contribution to the fund. The status of the state is determined by various formulas that can be found in the appendix. -10-

22 Transportation Funding Sources: Bonds ODOT uses two types of Highway Bonds: those that are retired with State Highway Revenue, and those that are retired with Federal Highway Revenue. Both types of bonds are issued by the Office of the State Treasurer. Currently, ODOT State Highway bonds are issued under the authority of Section 2m, Article VIII, of the Ohio Constitution (ORC Section thru ), and Federal Highway bonds are issued under the authority of Section 13, Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution (ORC Section ). Prior to December , State Highway Obligation Bonds were issued under the authority of Section 2i of Article VIII of the Ohio Constitution (ORC Section thru ). With this authority, no more than $100 million in principal amount could be issued in any calendar year, and not more than $500 million in principal amount thereof could be outstanding at any one time. The final maturity for State Highway Bonds issued under Section 2i, was May 15, The final draw on State Revenues was in January 2004, and amounted to about $10.5 million. The current authority in Section 2m allows no more than $220 million of State Highway Capital Improvement Bonds to be issued in any fiscal year, plus any unused authority from prior years, and not more than $1.2 billion in principal amount thereof can be outstanding at any one time. Debt Service draws on State Highway Revenues for that owed in any one fiscal year begins with September of that fiscal year. Highway Capital Improvement Bonds are issued for the purpose of acquisition, construction, reconstruction, expansion, improvement, planning and equipping of highways, including those on the state highway system and urban extensions thereof, those within or leading to public parks or recreation areas, and those within or leading to municipal corporations, and for participation in such highway capital improvements with municipal corporations, counties, townships, or other governmental entities as designated by law. -11-

23 Transportation Funding Sources: Bonds ODOT s policy regarding State Bond debt is to have no more than 20% of State Revenue dedicated to Debt Service. -12-

24 Transportation Funding Sources: Bonds The second type of bonds is GARVEE Bonds, Federal Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicles. A GARVEE bond is a debt financing instrument authorized to receive Federal reimbursement of debt service and related financing cost under Section 122 of Title 23, United States Code. GARVEEs can be issued by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or a public authority. States can receive Federal-aid reimbursements for a wide array of debt-related costs incurred in connection with an eligible debt financing instrument, such as a bond, note, certificate, mortgage, or lease. Reimburseable debt-related costs include interest payments, retirement of principal and any other cost incidental to the sale of an eligible debt instrument. To date, GARVEE Bonds have been used by the Ohio Department of Transportation to finance the Spring Sandusky/ I-670 Interchange in Columbus, the Maumee River Crossing Bridge in Toledo, a series of projects in District Ten comprising the Southeast Ohio Plan, and through a lease arrangement with the Butler County TID, the Butler County Regional Highway - State Route 129. ODOT s policy regarding Federal Bond Debt is to have no more than 10% of Federal Revenue dedicated to Debt Service. -13-

25 Transportation Funding Sources: Bonds A portion of State and Federal Motor Fuel Tax revenue is used to pay down ODOT s total bond debt (principal and interest). At the end of FY 2005, ODOT had approximately $1.4 billion dollars in outstanding principal and interest where 68% represents the state bond debt, 21% represents federal bond debt and 11% represents Butler County Transportation Improvement District (Butler County TID) lease option. -14-

27 Transportation Appropriation Uses

28

29 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Operating ODOT s business plan has focused on limiting the growth of operating expenses in order to allocate additional resources toward ODOT s capital program. The department s staff level has been reduced from 7800 employees in FY99 to just over 5800 employees in FY05 with staffing levels remaining steady for the last 5 years. The agency has authority to hire 6031 employees. The reduction of 2000 employees between FY s 94 & 05 results in an estimated savings of $130m payroll costs for FY

30 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Operating Payroll is the largest of the operating expenses. ODOT held operating budgets to no more than a 2% average annual increase starting in FY Staffing levels have remained constant over the past five fiscal years, however salaries and employee health benefits have steadily increased during that same time. This can be seen in the charts below. 1) Health insurance costs have been on the rise. PERS employer contribution also rose from FY 2001 due to employers getting a 5.3% rate reduction for 6 months in FY ) A $1M DAS refund received through the revenue system in FY 2001 offsets FY 2001 Early Retirement expenditures. This is a reporting change from the FY 2003 and FY 2004 Annuals, where the refund was applied to FY the refund applies to Early Retirement overpaid in FY ) The decrease from FY 2001 to FY 2002 is attributable to a mild winter that recorded approximately 80 inches less snow than prior years, and the increase between FY 2002 and FY 2003 is due to harsh winter weather experienced during January and February ) All Other includes: Premium for Disability, Accrued Leave Fund, Collective Bargaining, Medicare, Equal Employment Opportunity, Employee Assistance Program, Workforce Development Fund, OBM Accounting, Human Resource Charge, Unemployment Compensation and Parental Leave Benefit Fund. 2) Health Insurance costs started rising in FY 2000, and continue to rise each fiscal year. 3) Employer contributions to PERS were reduced 5.3% for 6 months during FY 2001 due to employers exceeding their full funding target. 4) Increase from FY 2001 to FY 2002 due to the Accrued Leave Fund not being hit with multiple retirements as in previous years from Early Retirement buyouts. -16-

31 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Operating One negative effect related to staffing level reductions can be increased overtime. Because of the department s commitment to efficiency and continuous improvement, overtime has been steady for the last three years due to harsher winters and flooding. This was accomplished while maintaining a $1 billion capital program. -17-

32 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Operating Along with its full time employees, ODOT uses outside services to complete tasks such as design work for construction projects, construction inspections, right of way acquisition and administrative services. For the past five years, these costs have averaged 36% in relation to ODOT s total payroll costs. ODOT s use of outside sources fall into one of the following nine categories: / Design / Environmental / Right of Way / Studies / Personal Services (consultant work) / Construction Inspection / Management Review / Bridge Inspections / Research Trends can be found on the following page. -18-

33 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Operating Professional Contracts Encumbered for the Following Services Design Work Environmental Work Right of Way Work Studies Work Personal Services Work Construction Inspection Work Management Review Work Bridge Inspection Work Research / Design - This is due to the Jobs & Progress Capital Construction Program. / Environmental - In FY 1999 and prior, Environmental work was the responsibility of ODOT staff. Beginning in FY 2000, special contracts were used for outside services. The significant drop in FY 2004 can be attributed to contracting in FY 2003 for work performed in FY 2003 and FY

34 -20- Transportation Appropriation Uses: Capital

35 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Capital ODOT s Capital program has steadily increased over the last four years, with exception to FY Major projects, such as the Maumee Bridge; the Lancaster By-Pass; SR 161 interchange; US 30; IS 71 widening and the IS 75 Interchange/Dayton have had a big influence on these awards. Due to uncertainty surrounding federal funding in FY 2003, $100 million worth of projects were held off until FY With contract sales over the past few years reaching record breaking numbers, capital expenditures have followed suit, averaging over $1.5 billion of actual expenditures for the past five years. 21

36 Transportation Appropriation Uses: Capital Although ODOT s actual capital dollar outlay for infrastructure over the past 20 years has increased, the actual buying power ( real dollar value due to inflation) is relatively the same as it was during FY The chart below shows this trend by taking the actual dollar amount of contracts sold for each fiscal year ( which are shown in millions in the table below the graph) and comparing it with an amount that has been adjusted for inflation over the same period of time (this graph is using a Consumer Price Index base for ). * Local Let Projects are not included. -22-

37 State Infrastructure Bank

38

39 State Infrastructure Bank State Infrastructure Bank Program Background and Objective The State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) program was capitalized with two authorizations from the Ohio State Legislature totaling $40 million and $87 million from Federal Title XXIII Highway funds. Any highway or transit project eligible under Title XXIII, as well as aviation, rail and other intermodal projects, is eligible for direct loan funding under the SIB. The SIB revolving loan program enhances the number of transportation projects that can be completed within the State that otherwise would not have been considered for traditional grant funds, are not ranked on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) or approved for Transportation Review Advisory Committee (TRAC) funding. Mission Statement Ohio has established the mission of the State Infrastructure Bank as follows: The State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) will be used as a method of funding highway, rail, transit, aviation, and other transportation related projects which produce revenue to amortize debt while contributing to the connectivity of Ohio s transportation system and further the goals such as corridor completion, economic development, competitiveness in a global economy, and quality of life. Administration ODOT is the primary decision maker for SIB projects. Within ODOT, the SIB Loan Committee manages the approval process. ODOT s Division of Finance promulgates the application process and is the contact source for information on the program. The Division of Finance receives applications, reviews, and make recommendations to the SIB Loan Committee. ODOT administers the loans and bonds using prudent financial guidelines and policies related to desirability, timing, and relative risk of the project. ODOT does not intend to undertake projects which are of limited public use or could be funded in full by private financial institutions. -23-

40 State Infrastructure Bank There were a total of eleven State Infrastructure Bank loans approved in FY 2005 totaling $12.3 million. All of the loans were highway related projects which brings the total number of loans in the SIB portfolio to eighty-two, since the inception of the program. The borrowers included Counties, Cities, and Metropolitan Planning Organizations. The first County/County Engineer Association of Ohio loan was also issued this year. 24
