  26. TED Program Goals • To address both economic and transportation system objectives of the state • To create and preserve “head-of-household” jobs • To leverage private and local investment in public infrastructure improvements • To promote collaborative and innovative partnerships among public and private sector stakeholders

  27. TED Program History • Two solicitations so far: (2010 and 2012) • Selected 24 projects – of 70 applications • Provided $59 million in TED grants • Leveraged over $100 million in other public and private financing • Supported an estimated 10,000 permanent, well-paying jobs

  28. State Road Construction Change Requests • $338 million in total spending in FY 2014-15 • $263 million of federal funds from new federal authorization, MAP- 21 • No net fiscal impact – reflects both additional federal revenue and expenditures • $75 million in additional state funds in FY 2014 • One-time appropriation from existing Trunk Highway Fund balance

  31. Operations and Maintenance Increase • $5 million annual increase to operations and maintenance budget activity, or 2%. • To help offset inflation in commodities like salt, sand, bituminous and gasoline. • Inflation has been over 3% per year since 2005, and that trend is projected to continue.

  32. Economic Recovery Funds • Extends authority to spend existing or new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds to the end of FY 2016 • Currently anticipate $1 million of additional Trunk Highway Funds and $1 million of Federal Funds related to passenger rail activities

Regional Development Commission (RDC) State Planning Grants Increase • $600,000 is currently appropriated annually to RDCs, from Program Planning and Delivery budget activity • Since 1997, each RDC has received $50,000 annually • Change item would increase these grants to $900,000 annually, or $75,000 per RDC (50% increase) • In recent years, RDCs have assumed additional responsibilities in supporting multimodal and interdisciplinary planning at the regional and state levels • $50,000 in 1997 is equal to roughly $72,000 in 2012 due to inflation

  36. Grade Crossing Safety Account • Remaining balance in account is transferred to Trunk Highway Fund at the end of each biennium. Currently this is done annually. • ARMER Maintenance (via DPS) • Increases the maintenance budget for ARMER by $600,000 in FY 2014, and by $1,000,000 in FY 2015 and beyond • Would cover increased level of service through software subscription agreement with Motorola
