Washington Metropolitan Area Transit AuthorityBoard Action/Information SummaryActionInformationMEAD Number:202306Resolution:YesNoTITLE:Capital Improvement Program OverviewPRESENTATION SUMMARY:Staff will provide an overview of the capital improvement program featuring accomplishmentsfrom FY2021, upcoming FY2022 projects, and a review of upcoming major project outages.The presentation also includes an update on the maintenance backlog and an overview ofbaseline state of good repair needs.PURPOSE:To communicate progress and achievements of the Capital Improvement Program and toprovide insight on how safety, state of good repair, and resiliency projects are scheduled tomove forward in the both the near and long term.DESCRIPTION:Please see the attachment for a list of major vendors associated with the Metro CapitalImprovement Program.With the help of Dedicated Funding backed debt, Federal Passenger Rail InfrastructureImprovement Act (PRIIA) Funding, and local government contributions, Metro has embarkedon an aggressive rehabilitation program to improve state of good repair, safety, and reliabilityacross all modes of service. Progress is being made, and there is both more to do and ongoing effort required to maintain a safe, reliable, and efficient system.Key Highlights: FY2021 capital programs and projects invested over 1.8B in safety, state of goodrepair, and resiliency projects. FY2022 capital programs and projects are on-pace to invest approximately 2 billionacross all components of the Metro System. Fiscal 2023 through 2028 Capital Improvement Program is planning investmentsbetween 11 and 13 billion in safety, state of good repair, and resiliency programs andprojects.Background and History:In 2018, the Compact Signatories – the State of Maryland, the District of Columbia, andthe Commonwealth of Virginia – passed legislation creating a cumulative 500M in134 of 165

annual dedicated funding for Metro. This funding stream provided Metro the ability toissue the debt needed to fund overdue capital needs. These needs, the ‘backlog’ ofprojects previously unfunded, were impacting safety and reliability of Metro’s services.Today, the backlog has been reduced, and is shrinking rather than growing.Metro projects a backlog of approximately 3.2B after implementing projects andprograms planned for FY2022 through FY2027. Work on reducing the backlog is inaddition to investing approximately 1.2B per year to maintain assets and preventaccumulation of additional unfunded needs.In the Fall, Metro will present the Board with a FY2023 Capital Budget and a Six-YearCIP. Metro anticipates continued Jurisdictional funding, including up to 3% increases inJurisdictional Capital Contributions, and continuation of state and Federal PRIIA fundingthrough the planning period. In addition to these baseline assumptions, Metroanticipates leveraging Dedicated-Funding backed debt to address additional fundingneeds and continue to address previously unfunded needs in the CIP in the near term.Discussion:The programs and projects funded in FY2022 focus on safety and state of good repairanticipated to enhance system safety, reliability, and convenience for customers.As Metro prepares the FY2023 Capital Budget and Six-Year Capital ImprovementProgram (CIP) for consideration by the Board this fall, the focus remains the provision ofsafe, reliable, and affordable transit. To achieve this goal, Metro’s CIP invests in safety,state of good repair, and resiliency projects across all Metro operations anddepartments: Rail; Bus/Paratransit; and Operations and Business Support.CIP investments promote reliability, improve asset performance, and increase theoverall safety of WMATA’s infrastructure. Examples include, but are not limited to,maintaining average fleet age in bus, paratransit, and rail fleets; improving reliability ofelevators and escalators; modernizing bus garages, rail overhaul facilities, andadministrative offices; and providing a more comfortable, safer ride to customers. Somecapital investments reduce future operating costs by updating equipment to moreefficient models, reducing energy consumption, or changing to a less impactful fuel.Since Fiscal Year 2019, Metro has issued Dedicated-Funding backed debt each year toproviding funding to address previously unmet needs. Of the 500M of dedicatedfunding provided each year, approximately 470M is available for use as debt servicedue to restrictions placed on the use of the remaining funds. The current funding plan,as approved by the Board in April 2021, fully leverages the dedicated funding as asource for debt service by approximately FY2027. Metro staff will continue to workcollaboratively and cooperatively with internal and external stakeholders in developingthe FY2023 to 2028 CIP in an effort to balance the availability of dedicated funding as asource for debt service, the need to address previously unfunded needs, and the abilityto deliver quality, on-time projects and programs.Near Term Projects Updates Design & Procurement135 of 165
