Fiscal Priorities Committee SMART Plan Financial Report Executive Summary The 2020 Fiscal Year (State Fiscal Year July 2019 through June 2020) has been a year of action and progress for the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) on the SMART Plan. North Corridor October 2019 – Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for North Corridor updated based on further analysis by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) – adopted by TPO. April 2020 – Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) presented updates on technology options for North Corridor that are accepted by the TPO Board. Subsequently, the County issued a procurement process for the North Corridor that should receive proposals in 2021. Beach Corridor January 2020 – Recommended Locally Preferred Alternative for Beach Corridor presented by DTPW – adopted by the TPO. County received one proposal in March 2020 for the Trunkline of the Beach Corridor that is under evaluation as of June 2020. East-West Corridor April 2020 – Recommended Locally Preferred Alternative for East-West Corridor presented by DTPW – TPO requested additional follow up analysis by DTPW. Fiscal Priorities Committee The SMART Finance Plan has incorporated all of these changes into the model. Model updates are provided periodically to the Fiscal Priorities Committee to assist in evaluating the SMART Plan corridors for financial feasibility. On July 10, 2020 the Fiscal Priorities Committee and other partners as appropriate to update and called a special meeting to conduct a SMART Plan validate the assumptions. financial discussion. The PowerPoint presentation for this discussion is included in the appendix of Major finance plan updates were completed this this report. The report that follows documents the fiscal year as described in Chapter 5. These Fiscal Priorities Committee discussions during included: Carry over from the 2018-19 period Fiscal Year 2019-20 including the committee added to revenues; Updated Miami-Dade County meeting on July 10, 2020. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Forecast; Revised North Corridor Costs; Beach The key assumptions for the Finance Plan for the Corridor LPA; North Corridor DTPW Alternatives SMART Plan are outlined in Chapters 2 (SMART and Preliminary East-West Corridor options; and Plan Funding Allocation and Assumptions), 4 Fiscal Priorities Committee requested an updated (SMART Plan Corridors Presented to TPO and on the funding for all corridors. Under Analysis) and 5 (Finance Plan Updates During Fiscal Year 2019-20). The combined TPO and Consultant Team partner on discussing all the major assumptions and gain input from the County I Based on the data and assumptions outlined in this report, it is feasible to deliver the SMART Plan as presented. This includes the following SMART Plan corridors: South Corridor – Bus Rapid Transit for South Transitway North Corridor – Elevated Rubber Tire Rapid Transit along 27 Avenue Beach Corridor – Elevated Rubber Tire Transit for the Trunkline from downtown to Miami Beach along MacArthur Causeway East-West Corridor – Bus Rapid Transit for the western segment: Tamiami Station to the Turnpike to SR-836 to downtown and Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) Kendall Corridor – Bus Rapid Transit east and west of Florida’s Turnpike along Kendall Drive These results are based on the current assumptions and revenues. Changes can and will occur on a periodic basis related to funding, costs, schedules, and related major assumptions. For example, the Finance Plan could experience challenges such as: Local funding allocated for the SMART Plan is reduced due to impacts of COVID-19 which is likely to occur. The amounts are not yet known as the pandemic remains active as of June 2020. Partnership funding from the Federal or state governments are less than anticipated. Cost of the corridors are higher than currently estimated for one or more corridors. Please note the Finance Plan assumes an extra 15% contingency for capital costs and 12.5% for operating costs. The addition of the Northeast Corridor at the levels proposed by Brightline would exceed the available remaining funding in the Finance Plan. Advancing corridors to much earlier beginning dates would be cost prohibitive. Finance cost to advance capital costs become cost prohibitive or unavailable. The TPO staff and Consultant Team will continually update the Finance Plan for the SMART Plan as new data and assumptions are provided for timely decision-making by the TPO and its partners.

TWO MAJOR ACTIVITIES MOVING THE SMART PLAN FORWARD To ensure the community is included in the planning and visioning process to select the best technology and highest, best land uses along each corridor, there are two separate major activities occurring for each corridor as follows: Land Use Project Scenario & Development Visioning and Environment Planning (PD&E) Studies Headed by the Headed by the Miami- Miami-Dade TPO Dade County Department of Transportation & Public Works (DTPW) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six 1 1 817 MIRAMAR PKWY 95 R E D R O A D NW 215 ST Aventura 75 Miami NW 205 ST R Gardens NW 199 S T FLORIDA‘S TURNPIKE NW 192 ST DO NW 186 S T I NW 186 S T MIAMI GARDENS DR NW 183 S T N W 8 7 A V E TOLL NW 167 ST BLVD 821 826 ES PALMETTO EXPY SUNNY ISL c Miami Lakes N E 6 A V E GRA E HWY TIGN TH CORR NW 138 S Y E OKEECHOBEE RD T 924 XPY DIXI NW 135 ST W A1A NEW SERVICE OPENINGS, R W 68 ST BROAD CSWY 96 ST 27 E 65 ST NO 4 1 C OLLINS AVE N W 5 7 A V E 95 N W 4 2 A V E N W 3 2 A V E N W 2 2 A V E N W 2 7 NA W V E 1 7 A V E CONSTRUCTION DATES, & NW 106 ST P A L M A V E W 49 ST TS 301 WN N W 6 7 A V E BISCAYNE BLVD PROJECT MILESTONES f1 71 ST NORTHEAST CORRIDOR NW 79 ST NW 74 ST JOHN F.
