FY16 Revenues $284.7M FY16 FY15 Valley Metro RPTA Sources of Funds FY16 vs FY15 $0.0 $20.0 $40.0 $60.0 $80.0 $100.0 $120.0 $140.0 Public Transportation Funds Transit Service Agreements Federal Grants METRO Rail Reimbursement Fixed Route Fare Revenues AZ Lottery Proceeds Regional Area Road Funds Other Revenues Carry forwards and Reserves 3 The primary sources of funding are shown with FY16 in purple and FY15 in green. Public Transportation Funds (PTF) sales tax receipts and PTF carry forwards represent 60% of the agency funding for the year. Transit Service agreements and federal grants represent 11% and 12% of the revenue respectively. Valley Metro Rail reimbursements for staff costs, fare revenues, and AZ Lottery funds. They total 15% of the overall revenues. 3

FY16 Revenues $284.7M Funding Sources FY16 FY15 Change $ Public Transportation Funds $133.9 $127.7 $6.2 Transit Service Agreements 30.1 29.4 0.7 Federal Grants 33.7 38.4-4.7 METRO Rail Reimbursement 16.9 15.3 1.6 Fixed Route Fare Revenues 16.1 16.1 0.0 AZ Lottery Proceeds 11.3 11.5-0.2 Regional Area Road Funds 4.8 4.7 0.1 Other Revenues 2.0 1.6 0.4 Bond Proceeds 0.0 0.0 0.0 Carry forwards and Reserves 35.9 80.0-44.1 Total $284.7 $324.6 -$40.0 4 This slide is a comparison of FY16 and FY15 funding sources. Public Transportation Fund sales tax receipts total $134 million, and are forecasted to grow by 5% over FY15. Transit Service Agreements are up 3%. This growth represents contractual rate increases and some growth forecasted in paratransit demand trips. Federal Grants are down $4.7 million as a result of reductions to CMAQ federal capital funding due to restructuring of the Scottsdale/Rural Road Corridor. Valley Metro Rail contributions for staff are higher in FY16 primarily due to new positions supporting an additional 3.1 miles of service (Central Mesa Extension) beginning in October 2015. Carryforwards and reserves, down $44 million, the largest single change. This is due to decreased amount of bond fund balance spending needed in FY16 versus FY15 for light rail transit capital construction for Northwest and Central Mesa Extensions. Questions and Answers Councilmember Williams asked where the Public Transportation Fund comes from. Mr. McCormack said the Public Transportation Fund comes from the Maricopa County Excise Tax. It is the transit component of the tax. Councilmember Pizzillo had asked at the last meeting what, if any, retail sales are excluded from that tax. We are working with the state treasurer to identify those items. Mr. McCormack said we will send out the table of ADOT forecasts and revenues to the subcommittee. 4

Councilmember Klapp asked what sources are used for the forecast. Mr. McCormack said a team of 20-30 economists get together and analyze 15-20 different aspects of economic factors. Each member rates those categories compiling averages. Mr. McCormack offered to provide a copy of their report. Councilmember Klapp declined. 5

Passenger Services include: fixed route bus, paratransit operations, and lead agency disbursements for ADA services and van pool. These represent about 40% of the overall budget. Regional Transit services include: marketing and outreach, call center, mobility center / ADA compliance, and service planning. These collectively total 5% of the overall budget. Capital Activities include: bus, vanpool, bus facilities and equipment. These expenditures comprise 13% of the overall budget. Rail Capital Lead Agency disbursements are 23% of the FY16 forecasted annual expenditures. Annual Debt Service is $24 million or 9% of the total expenditures. 6

Questions and Answers Councilmember Sherwood asked if over the course of the light rail program, the capital number would be fairly consistent over the years. What causes that fluctuation? Mr. McCormack said the timing of the construction. On a three-mile project there are a couple years of design and right-of-way when costs increase, and a couple of years of heavy construction. The billings peak out over a two year period. Councilmember Sherwood asked if we are talking about guide wires and rails. Mr. McCormack said it s the entire construction. Ms. McLaren said utilities and asphalt. Councilmember Sherwood said the cars are a big expense. Mr. McCormack said it is the timing of the actual heavy construction. You have to acquire the land, move utilities, and start guideway construction including street rebuilds. Councilmember Sherwood asked if we will get to the point of having several projects going. Mr. McCormack said the agency needs to be ready to ramp up using contractors to build lines as efficiently and as soon as we can. Our goal is to minimize the time the contractors are in the field. Councilmember Williams asked if there is enough equipment (trains) for lines to open. Mr. McCormack said yes, we do an annual fleet management plan that both Valley Metro and the federal government scrutinize to ensure adequate vehicle resources to run the system. 7

There is a decrease in Public Transit Fund lead agency disbursements due to major decrease in construction activity for light rail projects, offset by increases in ADA disbursements, and lead agency disbursements for regional bus fleet. Transit Service Contracts and Fuel are increasing 5%. Fixed Route has contractual increases. Paratransit has service levels increase by 10%, plus contractual increases. Capital Outlay is down $4.6 million, due to reductions in land acquisition and improvements of $14.0 million related to the Scottsdale/Rural Road Link project. This is offset by increases in regional fleet and equipment purchases of $9.4 million. Personnel Costs are at $26.4 million for the year. Lead agency bond disbursements are down to $25 million versus $56 million last year as the rail construction project expenditure levels peaked in FY15. 8

The gas pricing is higher in Tempe than in Mesa. In Tempe, we buy liquid natural gas that has to be converted. In Mesa, we are able to connect directly to their pipeline. We are experiencing savings in Tempe, due to the reduction of deadhead miles even though we have to convert the gas. 9

Mr. McCormack said the approximate employer / employee share is 80/20 for families and 90/10 for individual coverage. Mr. McCormack will report back the actual information to the subcommittee. Councilmember Williams asked who the peer employers were for the salary range study. Mr. McCormack said 4 5 member cities and other transit agencies. Councilmember Williams asked what the economic impact and recovery rate of the other transit agencies. Mr. McCormack said he will provide a list of peers. Councilmember Daniels asked how many miles are being served with the additional positions and the quantity of the increase. Are we providing more service with added personnel and added personnel costs versus miles served? Mr. McCormack said we will review the positions in an upcoming slide. Councilmember Sherwood asked if we get a healthcare contract each year or every three years. Mr. McCormack will report the answer to the subcommittee. Councilmember Sherwood suggested reducing amount of coverage employer pays each year over the course of the healthcare contract instead of all at once. 13

Valley Metro RPTA FIVE YEAR PLAN OVERVIEW FY 2016 THROUGH FY 2020 16 Revenue Forecast - PTF 17 The PTF revenue forecast is based on the ADOT forecast. It is anticipated to grow 4.5% over the next five years. Questions and Answers Councilmember Williams asked what this is based on, i.e., population growth. Mr. McCormack said this is sales tax revenue, based on ADOT forecast which considers population growth, levels of construction and other economic factors. 15

DATE AGENDA ITEM 3 May 11, 2015 SUBJECT Valley Metro Fiscal Year 2016 (FY16) Operating and Capital Budget and Five-Year Operating Forecast and Capital Program (FY16 thru FY20) PURPOSE To request Board approval of the FY16 Budget and Five-Year Operating Forecast Capital Program (FY16 thru FY20). Approval of the budget provides funding for Boardapproved TLCP projects and allows RPTA to implement capital and operating projects approved by voters in Proposition 400. Arizona State statutes require annual Board adoption of the budget. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION/CONSIDERATION The Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) FY16 combined operating and capital budget (the budget) is $286.9 million (M) and includes $133.9M in projects funded with Proposition 400 Public Transportation Fund (PTF) revenues. Of the $133.9M PTF revenues, $76.0M is for bus operating and bus capital and $57.9M is for light rail/high capacity transit capital. The preliminary FY16 operating and capital budget has been prepared with the goal of delivering a fiscally prudent, balanced budget using carry forwards, reserves and bond proceeds. The budget was developed in compliance with Board of Directors adopted budget, financial and Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) policies. The annual budget is prepared on an accrual basis and adopted by the Board of Directors each fiscal year. The legal level of budgetary control is the total annual appropriated budget. With respect to Capital Budgets, project contingency accounting is used to control expenditures within available project funding limits. With respect to Operating Budgets, encumbrance accounting is not used and all appropriations lapse at the end of the year. Prior to final adoption, a proposed budget is presented to the Board of Directors for review and public comment is received. Final adoption of the budget must be on or before June 30 of each year. The total operating budget of $160.9M represents a $7.3M (4.8%) increase from the previous year s operating budget of $153.6M. The total capital budget of $126.0M represents a $45.1M (26.4%) decrease from the previous year s capital budget of $171.1M. The major factor causing the decrease in the capital budget is a reduced level of LRT construction. Details and explanations of the major budget changes are discussed in the attached Budget Analysis and Overview document. With the agency integration, the RPTA and Valley Metro Rail (VMR) budgets are developed with a unified staff plan, with department managers planning the level of effort required to meet the bus and rail activities. Salary and overhead charges to bus VALLEY METRO 101 N 1ST AVE STE 1300 PHOENIX AZ 85003 602-262-7433

and rail projects are based on actual time worked on each project. For FY16 there are 312 employees budgeted in the integrated agency, with 129 FTE s budgeted to RPTA activities and 183 budgeted to VMR activities. Compensation budget based on 3% increase. For staff salary changes, merit increases are evaluated based on employee performance; division level control to manage total costs within budget. Valley Metro completed a comprehensive survey of positions and pay grades with regional governmental agencies as well as transit peer cities located in the Western US.

Executive Summary - Fiscal Year 2016 Valley Metro Preliminary Annual Operating and Capital Budget Valley Metro provides public transportation services for Maricopa County located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. The FY16 Preliminary Budget covers the 12 month period ending June 30, 2016. Services include fixed-route bus, paratransit, dial-a-ride, vanpool, regional planning, marketing, customer service, alternative transportation, trip reduction, and fiscal management of Regional Public Transportation Funds. FY16 Sources of Funds Total Sources of Funds for FY16 are $286.9M, a decrease of $37.8M or 12% from FY15. For FY16, PTF sales tax revenues are increasing by $6.2M or 5% above last year. Federal Grant revenues are decreasing by $4.7M (12%) primarily a reduction of CMAQ capital funding due to restructuring of the Scottsdale/Rural Road corridor. For budget purposes, funding sources include bond proceeds in the year of issuance. Consumption of those bond funds and cash reserves are down in FY16 to $38.0M due to construction level decreases for light rail capital projects which are nearing completion.

FY16 Uses of Funds Total Uses of Funds for FY16 are $286.9M, a decrease of $37.8M or 12% from FY15. Lead Agency Disbursements are decreasing by $7.5M due to decrease in construction activity for light rail projects, offset by increases in ADA disbursement and lead agency disbursements for regional bus fleet. Transit service contracts and fuel are increasing by $4.9M or 6% primarily due to programmed contract rate increases for bus services and paratransit ridership demand increases. Capital Expenditures are down $4.6M primarily due to reductions in land acquisition and improvements of $14.0M related to Scottsdale/Rural Road LINK project offset by increases in regional fleet and equipment purchases of $9.4M. Lead Agency Bond disbursements are decreasing by $31.0M due to decreased LRT capital construction activity on the Northwest Extension in Phoenix and Central Mesa Extension. In FY16, Carry forwards to Reserves include $0.4M in capital reserve increases. 2

Valley Metro FY16 Budget Baseline Service Assumptions: Fixed Route Bus Services East and West Valley routes operated by Valley Metro will continue FY15 service levels; Fleet of 268 units to deliver 11.9 million vehicle revenue miles serving 17.7 million passenger trips in the coming year. Combination of local bus, regional express and circulators. Dial-a-Ride and Paratransit Services Vanpool Services East and West Valley demand response ADA and Non-ADA services operated by Valley Metro will continue to serve portions of Maricopa County and the cities of El Mirage, Peoria, Sun City, Surprise and Youngtown in the West Valley and Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale and Tempe in the East Valley. For eligible ADA passengers, level of service is based on passenger reservation demand within service areas and hours of operation covered by fixed route bus routes.

Planning Initiatives Implement three advertising campaigns targeting public/driver safety, attracting new riders and communicating the value of transit. Origins and Destinations Study Every three to four years Valley Metro undertakes an Origins and Destinations (O&D) Survey and involves an on-board and intercept survey of light rail and bus passengers on the region-wide transit system. The output of the survey is used to calibrate the regional travel model maintained by MAG as well as providing valuable passenger information to the agency as it undertakes optimization of service and capital planning. The O&D Survey results will be published in FY16. Transit Standards and Performance Measures The development of Transit Service Standards and Performance Measures allows Valley Metro to work collaboratively with member agencies to refine regional service and capital facilities and fleet standards and relevant performance measures. These standards and performance measures will serve as the basis for Valley Metro s evolution to an improved performance-based transit network. Developing Regional Standards for Facilities and fleet will be the focal point in FY16. Overall Agency Administration Information Systems Improvements Agency Staff Overview Implementation of I.T. long range plan to ensure systems reliably meet growing data volume and security challenges. Continuation of network equipment life cycle updates and upgrades to achieve 24-7 operations with zero down time. Advancing staff development to meet rapid rate of technology change in both network and business applications. Continuing vigilance to meet PCI data security standards including active penetration testing and ongoing remediation for technology hardware, software and user interface. Valley Metro RPTA and VMR budgets are developed with a unified staff plan; with department managers planning the level of effort required to meet the bus and rail activities. For FY16, there are 312 employees budgeted in the integrated agency; with 129 FTE s budgeted to RPTA activities and 183 budgeted to VMR activities. Staffing levels are reviewed on an annual basis with zero-base analysis of level of effort requirements to fulfill work requirements in the five year period commencing with the beginning of the new fiscal year (July 1). Salary and Fringe Benefit compensation levels are measured against comparable regional agencies, member cities and peer transit agencies located in the Western USA. 5

Compensation and fringe benefit assumptions for FY 16 include: Total compensation budget based on 3% increase. For staff salary changes, merit increases are based on employee performance; division level control to manage total salary and fringe costs within budget. Agency health care costs will increase. Program design adjustments to hold total agency fringe benefit cost increases to within 3% of FY 15 levels.

Sources of Funds Note 1 Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) FY16 Prelim Operating & Capital Budget Overview Explanation Public Transportation Funds from the Maricopa County Transportation Excise Tax are forecasted to grow by 5%. Forecast is provided by ADOT. Adequate reserves are in place should collections fall short of ADOT forecast projections. 2 Service levels operated by Valley Metro have remained stable since the unification of fixed route bus services in the east valley commencing operation July 1, 2013. Transit service agreements primarily reflect contractual rate increases from service providers. 3 4 5 6 Federal Grants overall are down by $4.7M from $38.4M to $33.6M. Primary cause for change is reduction to CMAQ capital funding due to restructuring of Scottsdale/Rural Road corridor. Contributions from Valley Metro Rail for staff are higher in FY 15 due to new positions to support an additional 3.1 miles of service (Central Mesa Extension) beginning in October 2015. Revenues from vehicle disposals result in an increase by $0.3M in FY16. Vanpool farebox revenue is anticipated to increase by $0.2M in FY16. Carryforwards & reserves are down by $42.0M due to decreased amount of bond fund balance spending needed in FY16 for LRT capital construction activity for Northwest Extension and Central Mesa Extension. 8

Uses of Funds by Category Note 7 8 Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) FY16 Prelim Operating & Capital Budget Overview Explanation Decrease in PTF Lead Agency Disbursements is primarily due to a major decrease in construction activity for light rail projects, offset by increases in ADA disbursements and lead agency disbursements for regional bus fleet. Fixed route bus service levels operated by Valley Metro have remained stable since the unification in the East Valley commencing operation July 1, 2013. Transit service contracts primarily reflect contractual rate increases from fixed route service providers. Paratransit service levels are forecasted to increase by 10% and contract rates are scheduled to increase by 3%. 9 10 11 12 13 Capital Outlay was reduced by $4.6M due to reductions in land acquisition and improvements of $14.0M related to the Scottsdale/Rural Road Link project offset by increases in regional fleet and equipment purchases of $9.4M. Overall staff cost in FY16 $26.3M is 9% of total budget. Salary and Fringe increase $1.4M, broken down as follows: base salary and fringe increase $0.7M, new positions $0.7M. Reductions to consulting contracts are primarily due to decreasing services resulting from the wrap up of the passenger Origins and Destination study conducted in 2015. Other administrative cost increases include employee development and training expenditures to improve agency performance and increasing data and telecommunication costs. Lead Agency Bond Disbursements are down by $31.0M from $56.0 to $25.0M due to decreased LRT capital construction activity on the Northwest Extension in Phoenix and Central Mesa Extension. 9

ADA lead agency disbursements increase by $2.6M and regional vanpool, customer service, and contingency up by $0.5M. 15 16 Reductions to Planning and Development are primarily due to decreasing consulting services related to the wrap up of the passenger Origins and Destination study. Non-Departmental expenses are up by $1.6M primarily due to Valley Metro Rail staffing to support the additional 3 miles of rail operations commencing in October 2015. All Valley Metro Rail staff are employees of the RPTA whose costs are fully funded by Valley Metro Rail Inc. revenue sources. 17 Valley Metro Rail capital activities down $45.2M due to decreased lead agency disbursements to support LRT capital construction. 10

Summary of the Preliminary Five Year Operating Forecast and Capital Program FY 2016 - FY 2020 The Regional Public Transportation Authority (RPTA) has the primary responsibility of implementing the operating and capital components of the transit element identified in the 20-year Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The operating component includes the expansion of regional fixed route services, high-capacity transit alternatives, vanpools and paratransit services throughout the region. The capital component of the transit element of the RTP includes fleet replacement and expansion as well as the development of new park-and-rides, transit centers, passenger facilities, and maintenance and operations facilities over the life of the plan. Construction of the light rail RTP components has been designated to VMR by the RPTA and expenditures are shown as Rail Capital Funding in the Operating Forecast. For the Five-Year Operating Forecast, the Operations revenues and expenditures are based on current costs, as used for the development of the preliminary FY16 Operating budget, with an annual inflation escalation of three percent (3%) for the remaining four years. Other assumptions in the Five-Year Operating Forecast are as follows: The Public Transportation Fund grows by approximately 4.5% annually Fares grow by 2% annually; with a fare increase assumed in FY17 Paratransit ridership drives an 8.6% increase in number of trips delivered Planning, Administration, and Regional Services costs have been inflated two percent (2%) for the last four (4) years of the forecast The proposed service changes within the five-year time period that have been incorporated into the plan as proposed by the Transit Life Cycle Program are as follows: FY 2016: Enhance service on Route 72, Scottsdale/Rural Road Reduced service on the Main Street and Arizona LINKs due to the LRT extension FY 2017: No service changes FY 2018: Begin Route 104 Saturday service in Chandler FY 2019: Begin PTF funding of Route 50 in Scottsdale For FY 2020: Begin PTF funding of the Avondale portion of Routes 562 and 563

Today s Action It is recommended that the BFS forward to the Board of Directors approval of the Valley Metro RPTA Proposed Fiscal Year 2016 Budget (July 1, 2015 thru June 30, 2016) and acceptance of the Five-Year Operating Forecast Capital Program (FY 2016 thru 2020). 12

DATE AGENDA ITEM 4 May 11, 2015 SUBJECT Transit Life Cycle Program (TLCP) Update PURPOSE To present the draft 2015 TLCP Update for information. The item will cover both the bus and rail programs within the TLCP. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION/CONSIDERATION The TLCP was developed in 2005 to provide guidance for the implementation of the transit component of the Regional Transportation Plan. The TLCP includes guiding principles, policies, procedures and financial forecasts to ensure that the program can be balanced. The most recent update to the TLCP was in June 2014. Since that time, the official forecast has projected a slight decrease in revenues for the Transportation Excise Tax. In addition, the preliminary Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) has identified some service and/or funding changes that are recommended to be incorporated into the TLCP. Bus Program Capital Program Since the 2014 TLCP update, there have been some minor adjustments to the fleet and facilities programs related to timing and federal funding. The SRTP has identified 11 buses that are required for expansion, which are included in the TLCP. In addition, some updates to the replacement schedules for regional fleet have been included. Operating Program One of the agency goals is to expand services through effective planning, design, and construction of rail and bus projects through the Regional Transportation Plan. To that end, Valley Metro developed Transit Standards and Performance Measures (TSPM) which provide guidance for future service expansion to meet this goal while adhering to JE policies. Valley Metro planning staff developed the SRTP to guide the implementation of new service improvements, including those funded with PTF. The SRTP used principles developed from the TSPM to guide recommendations. The SRTP includes some recommendations for changes in TLCP funded service. The proposed changes to TLCP funded service are listed below along with the estimated annualized cost impact. All of the changes are proposed for FY2016 unless noted otherwise. VALLEY METRO 101 N 1ST AVE STE 1300 PHOENIX AZ 85003 602-262-7433

Service changes Increased frequency on Route 50 Weekdays, Scottsdale $248,000 Increased frequency on Route 61 Sunday, Mesa $149,400 Increased frequency on Route 72 Weekdays, Scottsdale and $904,900 Tempe Extend two morning trips on Route 156, Gilbert $25,000 One additional round trip on Route 542 $79,900 Eliminate LINK service between Sycamore and Country Club ($307,600) when Central Mesa Light Rail opens Defer Scottsdale/Rural LINK beyond 2026 ($1,100,000) Sub-total Service Changes ($ 400) Funding changes Fund existing service on Route 81, Scottsdale and Tempe $1,843,900 Fund existing service on Route 562, Avondale $22,800 Fund existing service on Route 563, Avondale $81,100 Fund existing service on Route 30, Tempe beginning in FY2020 $696,400 Sub-total Funding Changes $2,644,200 The annualized impact for proposed service changes in FY2016 is nearly zero. The impact of funding changes is $1,947,800 in FY2016, with an additional $696,400 beginning in FY2020. The budget impact in FY2016 will be will be on the revenues, as there will be less city funding and more PTF for service. The funding changes will take effect on July 1, 2015. Since the 2014 TLCP update, costs for operations, including ADA reimbursements are up 2.4 percent. These costs assume continuation of the unified contract for service in the East Valley. The fund balance at the end of the program is anticipated to be about $35.2 million, down from $81.1 million in the 2014 update. The ending fund balance is down primarily due to changes in TLCP funded service recommended in the SRTP and the decrease in revenues from the latest ADOT forecast. The following table summarizes the changes in fund balance. Beginning fund balance $81.1 million Revenue Forecast -$22.0 Net cost of SRTP changes -$20.7 Other changes -$3.2 Ending fund balance $35.2 The TLCP Guiding Principles require that jurisdictional equity be maintained for the bus program. The policy allows that each sub-region can be within 2.5 percent above or below their policy allocation. In the current model, all of the sub-regions are within this policy allowance. Additionally, the policy allows that regardless of sub-regional percentages, no jurisdiction can be under-allocated by $7.5 million or more. In the current model one jurisdiction, Mesa, meets that condition. 2

Rail/High Capacity Transit Program The baseline rail model has some significant changes from the adopted 2014 TLCP Update. The South Central corridor has been amended into the Regional Transportation Plan with a completion date of 2034. Therefore it has been added to the TLCP, although no capital costs are programmed through the TLCP sunset. 2015 TLCP Open Year 2014 TLCP Open Year Central Mesa 2015 2015 Northwest Phase I 2016 2016 Tempe Streetcar 2018 2018 Gilbert Road 2018 2018 Capitol/I-10 West 2023 2023 West Phoenix/Central Glendale 2026 2026 Northwest Phase II 2026 2026 Northeast Phoenix 2034 2034 South Central 2034 NA Some changes in project costs have been included to reflect recent changes in alignments for two corridors. Additionally, it is recommended that eight expansion light rail vehicles be included in the TLCP. Below is a summary of the major changes. OMC Expansion - The build out of the current facility is estimated to cost $32 million, which is a reduction of $28 million from the approved TLCP. Assuming a 50 percent PTF share for the project, the savings equal $14 million. Tempe Streetcar - The cost of the project increased by $40 million as a result of the alignment change. The Small Starts request will be increased by $17 million to the maximum allowable of $75 million. The remaining funding shortfall of $23 million is tentatively assumed to be provided by local funds. Northwest Phase II - The estimated cost for this new alignment is $295 million, which is an increase of $119 million. Assuming that FTA will fund 40 percent of the project results in an additional $43 million in federal funds. The cost increase to the City of Phoenix for the local construction is $41 million. The cost increase for the regional elements is $35 million, which is tentatively assumed to be provided by local funds. Light Rail Vehicle Expansion - In anticipation of a future need, 8 regionally funded expansion vehicles are recommended to be included in the TLCP. It is estimated that the unit cost for the LRVs is $5 million. For the TLCP model, federal participation is assumed at 50 percent of the project cost. The regional impact of purchasing 8 LRVs would be $20 million. 4

Inflation rates assumed in the ADOT Forecast are in the range of 2.2% to 2.4% for the remainder of the program. Year of expenditure costs calculated in the rail model assume a slightly higher rate of 2.7% to 2.9% over the long term. Currently, the rail program baseline financial model is balanced, with a surplus of $23 million remaining. The rail program currently anticipates additional financings. An additional issue in FY17 is anticipated and expected to generate up to $62 million. In addition, in FY23 short term financing is needed to cover cash flow. The final financing needs are driven by the construction of three projects simultaneously and will likely change as those projects advance. COST AND BUDGET The TLCP model as presented includes funding for some services that are not in the preliminary budget. If the TLCP is adopted as presented, with the additional services and funding, the changes will be included in a mid-year budget adjustment and contracts and IGA schedules with affected cities will be amended. There will be little change to expenditures and an increase of PTF used for service of $1.95 million, with a corresponding decrease in transit service reimbursements.
