Funding
Principles
10
Virginia should consider a funding approach that utilizes:
• A combination of revenue sources to spread the impact or a single statewide source that is predictable and sustainable
• Revenue sources that ramp up gradually to address future gaps and needs
• A combination of statewide and regional sources with the majority of support coming from statewide sources
• An approach for regional funds directed to prioritized needs within that region
• A floor on regional taxes
• Excess Priority Transportation Fund revenues (after debt service) dedicated to transit capital as this source becomes available

Structure for Capital Program Allocation
Transit Capital Spending by Virginia transit
agencies generates
$150 million in productivity costs
Each year, Virginia transit agencies spend:
$630 million
on capital, including
$ 440 million
on state of good repair investment
$600 million in tax revenues to
the Commonwealth from Metro and VRE
(NVTC, 2018)
13
2018- Bus Administration and Construction facility costs $40m with a $4m local match
2020- Without transit capital revenue replacement, same facility costs $40m with a $32m local match
$28m additional local money needed
