Metro Metro 2017 − 2026 Cip

METRO METRO METRO 2017 − 2026 CIP Metro Funding Project Description The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA/Metro) is a unique federal-state-local partnership formed to provide mass transit service to the Washington Metropolitan region. WMATA's Adopted FY 2017 - FY 2022 Capital Budget consists of $6.0 billion of critical system projects necessary to maintain the Metrobus, Metrorail, and Metroaccess systems over the next six years. The program focuses heavily on replacement / rehab of the system's aging rail infrastructure with minimal enhancement investments. Also included is the funding of an additional 220 7000-series railcars and associated rail power system upgrades. These additional railcars will be used to retire all 192 of the original 5000-series railcars, one of the most unreliable series in the current fleet. The remaining 28 railcars will be used for minimal capacity expansion along the red line. Funding for the WMATA capital program is from a combination of state, federal, regional and local sources. For Arlington, the total adopted six-year funding commitment is approximately $186 million, consisting of $106 million of annual subsidy payments, and $80 million of planned debt issuance by WMATA. Over ten-years, Arlington has programmed $280 million, with increased funding in the out-years primarily for service expansion projects. This fully funds Arlington's baseline funding of WMATA, and funds $55 million of planned debt issuance based on historical capital program execution rates. A combination of general obligation bonds, state grants and regional gas tax are used to fund Arlington's share of WMATA subsidy. A new multi-year capital funding agreement is currently being drafted among WMATA contributing jurisdictions to cover fiscal years 2018 -2023 and is anticipated to begin in the fall of 2016. Associated Master Plan: Critical Milestones: Advisory Commission: Comprehensive Master Transportation Plan (MTP) for Arlington Neighborhood(s): Project Justification Arlington County participates in funding of WMATA operating and capital needs as required and agreed to in the WMATA Compact. Annual capital commitments are determined by formula which sets forth the County's share of rail, bus, and other general capital improvements. Currently, the formula provides that Arlington County funds approximately 8.3% local jurisdictional capital costs. WMATA's multi-year capital improvement program (CIP) is the planning document that is adopted annually by contributing jurisdictions and reaffirms each locality's annual funding commitment for capital projects. More information on WMATA's CIP can be found at www.wmata.com. E-1 Changes from Prior CIP WMATA planned debt has increased an additional $544 million to a total of $984 million due to the exercising of two options contracts for 220 additional rail cars and associated power upgrades. Capital Costs during Ten Year Period (FY 2017 to FY 2026) (in $1,000s): $280,200 Costs include the County's share of debt service on $56 million in WMATA issued debt in Fiscal Years 2017-2021.

During the next 10 years, Arlington plans to invest $1.3 billion in a range of capital improvements that seek to enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of its residents, workers and visitors. The plan funds a broad range of complete street projects to enhance accessibility in the County’s neighborhoods, Metrorail station projects to improve accessibility and safety for users, efforts to maintain and reconstruct County bridges, improvements to street lights and signals, and enhancements to parking and the pedestrian and bicycle network. The CIP program reflects the goals and objectives set forth in Arlington's Master Transportation Plan and other County planning efforts. In response to the cancellation of the Columbia Pike-Crystal City streetcar program from the previous CIP, this proposed CIP includes investments to create a Premium Transit Network that will offer faster, more reliable and easier-to-use bus service connecting Columbia Pike, Pentagon City, Crystal City and Potomac Yard. Projects supporting this effort include street improvements such as dedicated bus lanes and transit signal priority, new transit stations, real-time bus arrival information, bus purchases and development of bus maintenance/parking facilities. Funding for the transportation CIP program comes from a balance of federal, state, regional and local sources. Two primary sources of local revenues for this program are the Transportation Capital Fund (TCF) Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Tax and Crystal City, Potomac Yard, Pentagon City Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The TCF is funded by an additional real estate tax on commercial and industrial properties for transportation initiatives; the rate is currently set at $0.125 per $100 of assessed value. The TIF uses a portion of incremental property tax revenue generated by new development and property appreciation in Crystal City, Potomac Yard and Pentagon City to fund infrastructure improvements in those areas. Arlington’s transportation CIP program also benefits from transportation funding legislation (House Bill 2313) enacted by the 2013 Virginia General Assembly. This legislation raises transportation revenues for Northern Virginia localities through a series of state-imposed regional taxes and fees. Revenues are collected by the state and distributed to the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA). Of these revenues, 70 percent (NVTA Regional) are retained by the NVTA to fund regional transportation projects through a competitive selection process. The remaining 30 percent (NVTA Local) is returned to the member localities, based on the amount of revenue generated by the taxes and fees within the locality, to be used for locally selected transportation projects. The CIP includes information on individual projects and an estimate of required funding. The CIP is structured to provide maximum flexibility, enabling the County to adapt project priorities to fluctuations in available state and federal dollars. The actual projects undertaken during this 10-year plan may vary in order to maximize state and federal reimbursements. E-3 Arlington, Virginia CRYSTAL CITY PLAN IMPROVEMENTS The Crystal City Sector Plan establishes an overall vision and planning framework for the Crystal City, Potomac Yard, Pentagon City neighborhoods to thrive following the economic dislocation caused by the federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) decisions. The plan envisions significant public infrastructure improvements in streets, transit, and public open spaces over the next 20 years that will benefit the area. The proposed FY 2017 – FY 2026 CIP includes an expenditure plan for these improvements that totals over $225 million in new and previously approved funding. In response to the cancellation of the Columbia Pike-Crystal City streetcar program from the previous CIP, this proposed CIP includes investments to create a Premium Transit Network (PrTN) that will offer faster, more reliable and easier-to-use bus service connecting Columbia Pike, Pentagon City, Crystal City and Potomac Yard. Projects supporting this effort include street improvements such as dedicated bus lanes and transit signal priority, new transit stations, real-time bus arrival information, bus purchases and development of bus maintenance/parking facilities.
