When Should We Expect Funding?
Funds were to be made available on:
March 3, 2009After which the clock starts ticking for…
Use It or Lose It Short Term Mid Term - Long Term
State
120 days to obligate at least 50%.
One year to obligate the balance.
March 3, 2010
MPOs
No short term obligation provision.
100% of funds to be obligated within one year of enactment.
March 3, 2010
Transit
180 days to obligate 50%.
100% of funds to be obligated within one year of enactment.
March 3, 2010
Expectations to begin ‘work’ quickly. Projects obligated
within 1 year and completed within 3 years.
Use It or Lose It
Any portion of the apportioned funds, including MPO/Sub-allocated funds that are not obligated
within one year, will be withdrawn and redistributed to other states. These funds are
then available until September 30, 2010 for obligation

Proposed Project Funding Scenarios
Scenario #1A & #1B - $104.6 Million:• Option A calculates a minimum agency allocation
and then adds population to the minimum agency allocation.
• Option B provides jurisdictions with a minimum agency allocation and calculates population distribution after the minimum agency allocations are provided.
Decision on which Option – A or B, and the minimum agency allocation.
Important Factors for Scenario #1A or #1B
1. Jurisdictions would have to identify specific projects for the use of the Economic Recovery funds – possible quick deadline.
2. The normal federal requirements still hold; this is a reimbursement program and all federal clearances are required.
3. It is suggested that projects that have an 'A' or a 'B' status for TIP and NEPA are used.
4. Projects that would require a lengthy NEPA/environmental review process, 'C' projects, are not good candidates for these funds.
5. The projects will have to be identified and agreed to prior to amending the TIP.
Proposed Project Funding Scenarios
Scenario #2 – Prop. 400 Highway Projects• 7 Projects = $43.1 million - remaining
Highway ADOT projects approved in priority order by Regional Council, which are not funded by the ADOT/State Portion.
• 3 projects = $160.5 million - non-prioritized Prop. 400 projects
If Scenario #2 is recommended, decision on which projects to fund with ARRA funds.

Proposed Project Funding Scenarios
Scenario #4 – Prop. 400 Highway, Street, and Transit
• 7 Highway Prioritized Projects = $43.1 million
• 3 Highway Non- Prioritized Projects = $160.5 million
• 4 ALCP Projects = $50 million ready-to-go• 4 ALCP Project = $138 million possibly-could-
go• Transit Projects = ? – Still under development
If Scenario #4 is recommended, decision on which projects to fund with ARRA funds
Proposed Project Funding Scenarios
Scenario #5 – Projects that are ready to go• $85 - $121 Million• The amount needed to fund projects in the TIP Status
A and NEPA Status A list is $84 million.• Adding the STP-TEA projects, raises the needed
funding amount to $95 million• Then adding projects in the TIP Status A and NEPA
Status B list increases the funding need to $121 million.
If Scenario #5 is chosen, projects would have to be selected to be funded as the number of
candidate projects is higher than the MAG sub-allocated amount
Questions & Discussion
On the Agenda for: possible action to recommend a scenario for
projects/allocations of the MAG Sub-Allocation Portion of the ARRA
Proposed Project Funding Scenarios
Next Steps1. Continue working with Valley Metro
2. Targeting February 25th Regional Council for:• TIP amendment & Conformity Consultation– Highway
3. Targeting the March – April Committees (TRC, Management, TPC, RC)• TIP amendment & Conformity Consultation MAG Sub-
allocation projects & Transit
4. Due to timeframe – possible additional Committee meetings, and possible change of meeting dates & times
5. April – joint meeting with ADOT Local Governments, MAG Member Agencies, and FHWA
