The majority of the funding for the Cotton Belt will be provided by DART through the issuance of $908 million of long term debt, the nature of which may be a federal loan or conventional long term tax-exempt debt. In addition, DART has committed an additional $20 million in current funds to the project. Other funding sources for the local share include contributions in aid of construction from local developers and the cities of Addison, Richardson, and Plano.

BACKGROUND—EAST/WEST EQUITY
In February 2010, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) passed a policy to track Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) funding approvals that do not follow current formula allocations (Policy 10-03).
To this end, staff has inventoried TxDOT project commitments, starting January 1, 2010, that are not formula allocated.
The intention is to track east/west equity over time, allowing the RTC to take corrective actions if necessary.

FUTURE EAST-WEST EQUITY TRACKING
Staff proposes to consolidate the tracking effort into one report.
Previous surface transportation bills will become line items once they are replaced with a new funding bill
Quarterly updates on the East-West equity balance will continue
