$943,600 of the FY 2019 revenue change is due to the decrease in increment from 30% to 25%; $643,260 is driven by the 0.9% decrease in assessed value within the Crystal City TIF district for CY 2018

• TIF revenues are paired with other internal and external funding sources to deliver the capital program

bonds to support capital costs.• Has served as a basis for leveraging state, regional and federal transportation funds

for major capital projects.• Vacancy rates impact revenues, resulting in tax fluctuations.• $25M projected in FY 2019

2. NVTA Local (30% local allocation from HB 2313)• 30 percent of revenues are returned to localities for eligible, locally selected

transportation projects.• Available for new construction, capital improvements that reduce congestion, and

public transportation purposes.• Has served as a basis for leveraging state, regional and federal transportation funds

for major capital projects.• $12M projected in FY 2019 (subject to change based on state action)

Key Budget Considerations – Funding Risks• General Assembly/Governor developing plan for Virginia’s dedicated funding for WMATA:

• General Assembly conference committee bill redirects the regional Transient Occupancy Tax and Grantor’s Tax to WMATA, reducing the amount of NVTA funding available

• Current proposed language requires NVTC localities to provide an increment of $27.12M to WMATA (Arlington’s share would be roughly $8M over and above existing commitments)

• DRPT “fiscal cliff” unresolved at this time (affects FY 2020 and future planned state transit grant revenues)

• GO Bond capacity is limited by existing commitments to Metro and Arlington Public Schools

• Paygo funding is limited

Key Budget Considerations – Funding Risks

• The transportation CIP will have to be scaled and prioritized depending on the outcome of external funding decisions.

• This may also affect future transit expansion as outlined in the County Board adopted 10-year TDP, which is funded from dedicated transportation sources.
