19 Challenges Along The Way Very complex funding plan involving multiple funding partners and multiple agreements Transfer of Dulles Toll Road from Virginia to Operation by MWAA Legal separation among Aviation and Dulles Corridor Activities Establishing the Dulles Toll Road as a stand alone credit for debt issuance Early Rail alignment and cost decisions among funding partners were ultimately settled with US Secretary of Transportation involvement Multiple legal challenges 2007 to present 19

20 Why it Works Dulles Toll Road as a Metrorail Funding Partner The Dulles Toll Road is seamlessly integrated within a major commuter transportation corridor consisting of the Toll Road itself, the Metrorail extension, the Dulles Access Highway, and Dulles International Airport Toll road revenues are put to use within the Dulles Corridor and with no profit or Return on Equity motives The Dulles Toll Road s participation in the plan of finance for Metrorail enjoys broad political support at all levels of government 20
