FUNDING THE SYSTEM

13


FUNDING SOURCES

• Annual Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Formula Funds

• State provides the non-federal share for most rail and bus capital improvements

• Annual State Bond Authorization

• Special Authorizations

• Other funding sources (e.g., FRA, ARRA)

14

ARRA – Economic Stimulus(Total for Bus and Rail Transit =

$152M)BUS• Statewide Bus Replacement Procurement

Program (purchase includes up to 106 Hybrid buses) - $70M

• Norwalk Transit District Pulse Point Safety and Security Improvements - $1.5M

• Windham Transit District Bus Storage Canopies - $270K

• Statewide Park and Ride Lot Improvements - $2M

• Bus Engine Repowering - Greater Bridgeport Transit - $2.8M

15

ARRA – Economic Stimulus(Total for Bus and Rail Transit =

$152M)RAIL• Danbury Branch Signalization and

Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) - $31M• New Haven Yard Component Change-Out

(CCO) Maintenance Shop for new M8 rail cars - $30M

• New Haven Line (NHL) Station Improvements - $10M

• Branford Station Parking Lot - $5M

16

• Annual Public Transportation Capital Program

$140 M to $160 M per fiscal year

» State: $40M Bonding

» Federal: Grown to $100 MM in Formula Funds

» Federal Discretionary Varies Year-to-Year

• An additional $1.2 Billion is programmed over the next 10 years - based on forecasted availability, not needs

• Additional federal funding likely to be limited

• Use of CMAQ funds (”flexing”)
