Note:

 

FTA formula funds (5307, 5337 and 5339) are based on estimated apportionments for FFY23-27. FFY23 includes carryforward funds.

 

TIP programs and projects are based on the draft FY24-28 CIP and planned federal obligations as of Apr-23. Adjustments will be made to federal projects and budgets as the FY24-28 CIP is finalized.

The Activity Line Item (ALI) codes are preliminary only and generally reflect the bulk of the TIP program. Within a program there may be several different ALI codes used.

 

RRIF loan funding for the PTC/ATC/Fiber Resiliency project is based on the currently planned drawdown schedule and is subject to change.

 

RRIF/TIFIA financing program funding is an initial estimate and will be refined as projects are identified and loans are finalized with the Build America Bureau.

Note:

 

This table compares the proposed FFY23-27 TIP Amendment to the most recent FFY23-27 TIP that was presented to the MPO in October 2022.

 

FTA Formula Funding - Funding is slightly lower to reflect current estimates of BIL (FFY23-26) and Post-BIL (FFY27) formula fund apportionments. For 5337 funds, FFY23 has been increased because the MBTA received a discretionary award for Symphony Station which frees up formula funds for other projects. Annual changes at the TIP Program level reflect currently anticipated project readiness and projected FFY23-27 spending, as well as some project shifts between 5307/ 5337/ 5339 funding since October 2022.

 

Other Federal Funding - The FFY23 changes are the result of three new discretionary awards since October 2022 that are being added to the TIP (e.g., Symphony Station, Hingham Ferry Dock and Newton Commuter Rail Stations). In addition, the Lynnway Corridor project is now expected to be delivered by MassDOT. The FFY24-25 changes are the result of adjustments in MPO funding for Columbus Ave, Forest Hills, Jackson Square and Rail Transformation. The FFY26-27 changes are the result of additional planned RRIF/TIFIA loan financing in these years.
