No.20803 05/31/2019 IM Exhibit "B" Jr Texas Department of Transportation 125 EAST 11TH STREET,AUSTIN,TEXAS 78701-2483 1512.463.8588 I WWW.TXDOT.GOV March 26, 2019 Ivan Mitchell Transit Manager Port Arthur Transit City of Port Arthur 344 Procter Street Port Arthur, TX 77640 Dear Mr. Mitchell: The Public Transportation Program managed by the Public Transportation Division (PTN) of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was allocated 15,000,000 Transportation Development Credits(TDC)for distribution to eligible projects by the Texas Transportation Commission (commission) in Minute Order 115291 for state fiscal year 2019. This letter awards 295,730 TDC to the City of Port Arthur for the Port Arthur urbanized area as match for security,facility enhancements, preventive maintenance, and software. The project will be funded with FY2018 federal Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Program funds as identified in TDC application TDC-2016-PORT ARTHUR-00227. In making this award the PTN Division has considered the potential of the projects to expand the availability of funding for public transportation projects and finds that the project meets the established goals set forth in Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, §5.102 to support public transit and maximize the use of available federal funds, particularly in situations in which federal funds otherwise would be unused because of the inability to provide the non-federal share. Upon execution of the Federal Transit Administration grant agreement, the agency must inform TxDOT - PTN of the Federal Award Identification Number(FAIN). This number will be entered as part of the TDC agreement. A TDC agreement must be in place in order for the TDC to be applied to an FTA grant.
