Proposed <strong>FY2017</strong> Budget<br />

Chapter 3<br />

Operating Budget by Mode: Metrorail<br />

Sources of Funds<br />

In the <strong>FY2017</strong> Proposed Budget, as with Metrobus, Metrorail revenues include both system<br />

revenue (primarily passenger fares and parking fees, as well as advertising and lease revenues) and<br />

subsidy from Metro’s jurisdictional partners.<br />

Passenger revenues, including fares and passes, are projected at $702.9 million. This represents a<br />

decrease of $45.2 million from the FY2016 budget. The decrease in fare and passenger revenues<br />

is tied to a projected ridership reduction of 8.4 million passenger trips.<br />

Parking revenue at Metrorail garages will contribute $46.1 million in revenue. This amount is $2.9<br />

million lower than the FY2016 budget due to declining ridership.<br />

Advertising revenue attributed to Metrorail is projected to generate $7.8 million in <strong>FY2017</strong>. This<br />

amount is $1.0 million higher than the FY2016 budget.<br />

Other Revenue, which includes Joint Development, Fiber Optics, and other miscellaneous revenue<br />

sources, is projected to contribute $34.4 million in <strong>FY2017</strong>. This is a decrease of $22.0 million<br />

from FY2016 primarily due to the one-time usage of Transit Infrastructure Investment Fund<br />

(TIIF).<br />
