Observations Phase 1 & 2 Advantages CTIB can fund its share of Phase 1 & Phase 2 Acceleration Funding partners capital shares are addressed Enhances reg. balance Funds for counties for transportation priorities, e.g. –Corridor planning –Local 10% –Roads & bridges Disadvantages Phase 3 is not addressed Requires legislative action May require action by County Boards Requires tax increase State share of net operating subsidy is not addressed Page 22
