10. Voters Thoughts on New RevenuesAre there any other good options?

11. Voters Thoughts on New RevenuesIf new revenue was dedicated to maintaining, improving and repairing Colorado’s roads, highways, bridges and transit system Equivalent to .5% sales tax Equivalent to .7% sales tax Equivalent to 1% sales tax

12. Voters Thoughts on Transit When asked to say what they thought was the best way to improve transportation in Colorado, over 60% statewide pointed to transit. Among the words they chose to use were, in priority order: • Light rail • Mass transit • Rail • Bus • Trains • FasTracks New transportation finance mechanism won’t pass without transit

13. MPACT64 Priorities • Funding Priorities • Multimodal improvements • System preservation & annual maintenance • Safety • New capacity – managed lanes • Revenue Strategies • Statewide funding first • Then address regional needs • Or — both at once

14. MPACT64 Straw ManPotential Funding Strategy Currently Under Consideration/Discussion • Statewide Sales Tax Increase • Transportation Lockbox • No access for “off the top” diversions (State Patrol, Ports of Entry, etc.) • No access for legislative diversion to general fund expenditure • .7% sales tax • 15 year sunset • Distribution between HUTF and Transit at 67% and 33% • Transit distribution to transit agencies and interregional transit projects • HUTF distribution 60% to State, 22% to counties, 18% to municipalities • Distribution to municipalities optional by region of the state: • Non-metro by HUTF formulas? • Metro/urban by population? • State and regional project list • Discussion of alternate strategies is ongoing

15. Possible Distribution Scenario Distribution assuming .7% sales tax dedicated to transportation — with 33% for transit and 67% to the HUTF Typical HUTF split — 60% to the State — 22% to the Counties — 18% to the municipalities
