Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
Proposed FY2017 Budget
Chapter 4
subsidy allocations to Metrobus, Metrorail, and MetroAccess projects to determine an overall
blended allocation rate by jurisdiction for CIP contributions. The table displaying the
allocation of state and local contributions contains anticipated jurisdictional contributions for
each of the six years, by type of funding. The following table shows anticipated quarterly
contributions by jurisdiction for FY2017, compared to FY2016.
1. State and Local Match to Federal Formula Programs
A total of $428.4 million of state and local funds will be needed to match federal
formula program grants, $71.4 million of which is planned for investment during
FY2017.
2. State Match to Federal PRIIA Program
The FY2017-2022 proposed CIP financial plan assumes the PRIIA legislation will be
extended beyond FY2020 and that the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland, and
the Commonwealth of Virginia will contribute $148.5 million per year to match Federal
PRIIA, consistent with the jurisdictional commitment to fund the safety, state of good
repair, and preventive maintenance needs of the Metro system. A total of $891 million
is forecasted to be billed to jurisdictions in FY2017-2022, and an additional $21.5
million, from prior years, is forecasted to be spent in FY2017.
3. System Performance
A proposed total of $811.2 million from state and local system performance funding
will support the FY2017-2022 CIP, with $118.1 million programmed for investment
during FY2017. System performance funding is contributed by the jurisdictions to
advance additional capital investments beyond those funded by federal grants and
match.
4. Other Fund Sources
The proposed CIP includes investments to advance projects that are funded through
competitively awarded discretionary grants, congestion mitigation and air quality
funding that is passed to Metro through a local jurisdictional agreement, and other
funding sources with dedicated uses such as insurance proceeds and land revenues.
These fund sources total approximately $44.4 million in FY2017-2022.
5. Financing/Debt Strategy
The proposed FY2017-2022 CIP financial plan includes a total of $1,178.3 million of
planned long-term debt, $287.7 million of which is planned for use in FY2017. In
accordance with the agreement made in the Capital Funding Agreement (CFA), Metro
will identify the portion of future allocated contributions for debt service payments in
future proposed budgets and Metro will notify the jurisdictions at least 120 days in
advance of any long-term debt issuance.
