Governor Abbott s directive to the Texas Transportation Commission The State of Texas is spurring economic development and creating jobs by making an historic investment to build more roads and improve our infrastructure. That's why today I am directing the Texas Transportation Commission to create a focused initiative to identify and address the state's most congested chokepoints and work with transportation planners to get new roads built swiftly and effectively. Governor Greg Abbott, September 23, 2015 On Sept. 24, 2015, Chairman Lewis appointed Commissioner Bugg to lead the Texas Transportation Commission s Congestion Relief Initiative. 3

Texas Transportation Commission response to the voter mandate TexasClearLanes.com is a statewide strategic plan to provide congestion relief focused on Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. Why these five major metro areas?: Only metro areas in Texas with populations currently over 1 million. Represent more than 65 percent of the Texas population. According to State Demographer Dr. Lloyd Potter, 86 percent of Texans live in counties along I-35 and to the east. Home to 97 of Texas Top 100 most congested roadway segments based on the Sept. 1, 2016, Texas A&M Transportation Institute list: Austin: 14 roadways segments Dallas: 24 roadways segments Fort Worth: 6 roadways segments Houston: 45 roadways segments San Antonio: 8 roadways segments In addition to TexasClearLanes, the TxDOT congestion relief initiative includes a statewide congestion relief focus on connectivity and strategic freight/trade corridors outside of the five major metropolitan areas. According to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, 93 percent of Texans rely on a personal auto as primary means of transportation. 97 percent of state highway funds are constitutionally dedicated for use on roads. 4

Texas Transportation Commission response to the voter mandate (2016 UTP February Update) Internal taskforce of key TxDOT administration and district staff conduct on-going monthly meetings to review Texas Clear Lanes projects, timelines and funding requirements. The Commission listened to the needs and priorities of local stakeholders in these five metro areas. This effort led to the initial funding under TexasClearLanes $1.3 billion to the five metro areas allocated as follows: Metro Area Austin Dallas Fort Worth Houston San Antonio Distribution 12.2% 28.0% 12.6% 34.1% 13.0% Funding ($ Millions) 158.6 364.0 163.8 443.3 170.3 100% $1.3 billion 5

FY 2017 UTP congestion relief funding Statewide congestion funding for 10 years is $28.9B including the following to each of the five major metros: Metro Area Funding (billions) Austin $2.6 Dallas $6.7 Fort Worth $3.2 Houston $8.5 San Antonio $2.8 Total for 5 metros $23.7 * Figures may not add due to rounding 6

What is a Major Project A major project is one that is approved by the Commission and meets one or more of the following criteria: The project has a total estimated cost of $500 million or more. There is a high level of public or legislative interest in the project. The project includes significant local or private-entity funding. The project is unusually complex. The project satisfies a time-sensitive critical need of the department related to safety, system connectivity, a hurricane evacuation route, reconstruction of a large infrastructure facility, or other similar need.

Chairman Bugg comments on toll policies at 2016 September Commission Meeting: Governor Abbott very clearly stated in his state of the state last January that he wanted to increase funding for transportation without raising taxes, tolls, fees and debt. Those new funding streams are not at play in this consideration. Those funding streams that Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature worked together to provide for transportation funding were Prop 1, Prop 7 and ending of diversions. That money is segregated and being used in the projects for congestion relief around the state, particularly the TexasClearLanes project. That money is being put in non-tolled projects. When a local community comes to this Commission and states that they want to add capacity and they know the funds are not available, they want to support a managed lanes concept and the funds that Governor Abbott and the Texas Legislature, worked so hard to provide are not being used; then I think this Commission needs to consider the local community s support for a managed lane project. 16

Potential Major Project Prioritization Consider committing $2B of the $3.7B unallocated Category 12 Strategic Priority balances to help fill funding gaps Incorporate Design-Build project delivery strategy to help prioritize and deliver major projects Flex the UTP Categories within the 10 year window and work to complete funding gaps 26

Key Elements of Recommended Approach to Fund Gap Optimize use of applicable current UTP funding categories including the TexasClearLanes on non-tolled projects Prioritize projects based on combination of Key Performance Measure scoring, funding from non-traditional sources (i.e. loans - TIFIA, managed lanes and toll revenue, system financing, etc.), anticipated readiness, and other factors. Optimize use of alternative project delivery (Design-Build) with deferred priced components Position our Major Projects to take advantage of potential future fund sources Future UTP updates will allow for opportunities to apply additional funding 27
