Key Assumptions & Conclusion
31
Key Financial Assumptions:
Conclusion:
• No increase in sales tax rate (remains 8.25%) and no property tax increase• Net Sales Tax Revenues available to METRO are based on the annual growth rates (FY2019 – FY2040)
formulated by Dr. Robert W. Gilmer, University of Houston – C.T. Bauer College of Business as of June 2018• General Mobility Program continues through 2040• Bus and Light Rail infrastructure projects are financed using 45% debt/55% grant funds• Bus system enhancements and optimization projects are financed using debt and local funds• Forecasted expenditures include operating and maintenance costs for all METRONext projects• METRO’s Board approved cash reserve requirements (25% of operating expenses plus $10MM) are met
Under the above financial constraints, approximately 3 -8 percent of the $35 billion in METRONextVision Projects can be completed during the FY2019 through FY2040 period.
