                               Today’s Discussion
Fairfax County’s economic health depends on an efficient transportation
system. The County strives to improve mobility for all those who live, work,
travel or do business in Fairfax County, but funding for transportation has
become increasingly limited.


The County has identified several potential new sources
of revenue that could be used to fund transportation                    needs,
and is seeking feedback on these and any                       other viable
funding options.

Please share your opinions by completing the
Transportation Funding survey online or in person                        by by
by 4:30 p.m. October 12, 2012.

           How Transportation is Funded in
                  Fairfax County
   Transportation is funded by a variety of federal, state, regional, local,
   and private sources.

   Roads (construction and maintenance) are owned and maintained by the state,
   and funded by private, state and federal sources. The County has funded
   some road improvements, such as Fairfax County Parkway, since the 1980s.
   Transit Services (Metro, Connector, VRE) are operated by local and regional
   agencies. Operating costs are funded by state, regional, private and local
   sources including farebox revenues. Capital costs are funded by state and
   local sources.
   Bike and Pedestrian facilities are included in major roadway projects. Stand-
   alone projects (not included in roadway projects) are typically built by the
   County and funded by private, local, state and federal sources.

           Funding for Fairfax County (cont.)
                                    The Federal Outlook

       •     All federal formula funds have been programmed and allocated
             through FY 2018.

       •     Federal transportation funds for capital projects have been capped for
             the next two years with limited prospects for
             new or additional revenues beyond that.

       •     The federal government has increased
             funding available for transportation loans.
             However, a funding source is required to
             repay those loans.

         Funding for Fairfax County (cont.)
                                The Local Outlook

   •     The County has a Commercial & Industrial tax for transportation that
         is currently $0.11 per $100 of assessed value. There is limited
         flexibility in this revenue source beyond FY 2014, because of existing
         commitments.

   •     The County already spends approximately $280 million annually from
         local sources on transportation (general tax revenues, special tax
         revenues, proffers, bonds, etc.)

                               The Funding Problem
     To meet the existing and projected needs of Fairfax County, new
     sources of revenue must be found or expectations and the number of
     projects must be reduced even further.

County of Fairfax, Virginia


                  Impacts of Reduced Funding
   Virginia has been ranked #1 or #2 for Best States for Business the past
   several years. In 2012, Virginia slipped to #3; and also fell from #10 to
   #33 in quality of transportation and infrastructure.1
   Maintaining quality transportation and infrastructure (Dulles Rail,
   Express Lanes) has helped attract more businesses to Virginia, even
   during the recession, especially in Northern Virginia.
   Failure to improve transportation will lead
   to longer commutes, reduced productivity,
   fewer jobs as businesses move out of the
   county, a weakened economy and more
   air pollution.

County of Fairfax, Virginia


                          County Projects Needed
•    The County has identified several capital and
     operating projects to add new road capacity
     to the transportation network during the next
     10 years.

•    These projects provide for new capacity and
     do not address ongoing maintenance needs.
     They are not funded in any existing or ongoing transportation plans and will
     require new sources of revenue if they are to be completed.

•    These projects are in addition to projects that are
     already in progress (see list of ongoing, Funded Projects).

                Maintenance of County Roads
•   Fairfax County roads are owned and maintained by the state
•   Mowing, curbs, potholes, storm drains, plowing snow, and repaving the
    roads are all the responsibility of the state. These types of maintenance and
    repair are not addressed in the County’s project list which focuses on
    providing new capacity (such as turn lanes, road widening, new walkways
    and trails, new transit service).
•   Additional road maintenance and repair are not funded in any existing or
    ongoing County transportation plans. New sources of revenue will be
    required for increased maintenance.
•   The cost to improve maintenance of secondary
    roads is approximately $60 million per year in
    Fairfax County. This money is not included in
    the $300 million cost for the County’s existing
    transportation needs.

 •     The County’s list of improvements needed               Types of Projects
       includes these types of projects:
                                                        1)   Spot/Corridor Projects
                                                        2)   Bus Capital
 •     Improvements to interstate facilities and        3)   Bus Operating
       major new Metrorail expansions have been         4)   Interchanges
       specifically excluded, because they are          5)   Road Widening
       beyond the County’s capacity to fund
                                                        6)   Road Extensions

                                                        7)   Bicycle and Pedestrian

 •     In addition, highway maintenance costs have
       been excluded, since road maintenance is a state responsibility.

 •     Your feedback on these assumptions is requested in the survey.

                   Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA)
  •     The Board of Supervisors tasked the Department of Transportation with creating a
        benefit cost analysis tool to analyze a future selection of transportation projects for
        the County

  •     FCDOT, working with a consultant, has produced a working tool that can be used
        to analyze projects, based on congestion reduction, air quality improvements, and
        safety, etc.

  •     The BCA tool compares road and transit projects based on an over-all benefit/cost
        ratio.

  •     Road projects include only construction costs

  •     Transit project costs include capital and operating cost, but are also offset by fare
        collections.

  •     The Bicycle and Pedestrian projects can not be quantified in the same manor as
        highway and transit projects and are only compared against other bike/pedestrian
        projects.

             Finding New Sources of Funding
 Additional local revenue sources could:

 •     Proactively address immediate infrastructure and operating needs
 •     Provide more options including transit, ridesharing, bicycling, walking
 •     Develop a safer, more efficient transportation network that connects
       people and places
 •     Ensure that transportation improvements are made despite funding
       challenges at the state and federal level



 Raising revenues within the County assures that the money stays
 in the County and goes directly to Fairfax County projects.

  1. Our Board of Supervisors wants to solve our transportation problems here at home instead of relying on Richmond to do it for us. Typically, funding for transportation initiatives comes from the State and sometimes the Federal government – not the County. But the State has not budgeted enough money statewide to meet our transportation needs here in Fairfax County. To be clear – the County is getting its fair share of the transportation funding pie as compared to the rest of the State, but the overall pie simply isn’t big enough.

  5. The Board of Supervisors is proposing that we take control of our own destiny by raising the funds we need for the transportation projects in the County that we know are necessary. In doing so, we can reduce road congestion, provide better bus service, and make it easier to walk or ride a bike from place to place. By finding new ways to solve our own transportation problems, we can better manage our County’s future.
