Funding
Principles
10
Virginia should consider a funding approach that utilizes:
• A combination of revenue sources to spread the impact or a single statewide source that is predictable and sustainable
• Revenue sources that ramp up gradually to address future gaps and needs
• A combination of statewide and regional sources with the majority of support coming from statewide sources
• An approach for regional funds directed to prioritized needs within that region
• A floor on regional taxes
• Excess Priority Transportation Fund revenues (after debt service) dedicated to transit capital as this source becomes available

on capital, including
$ 440 million
on state of good repair investment
$600 million in tax revenues to
