Body
BACKGROUND
The State of Texas received Regional Toll Revenue (RTR) Funds from the North Texas Tollway Authority as surplus revenue from the SH 121 toll project. Pursuant to Transportation Code, 228.006, the State of Texas shall authorize the use of surplus revenue from a toll project for transportation projects, highway projects, or air quality projects within the TxDOT district in which any part of the toll project is located. The North Central Texas Council of Governments’ (NCTCOG) Regional Transportation Council (RTC) was designated by the Texas Transportation Commission on October 26, 2006, to select and oversee projects to be financed using RTR Funds.
The City of Dallas desires to enter into an Advance Funding Agreement with TxDOT to accept RTR Funds from the SH 121 Subaccount for the construction of intersection improvements, including pedestrian crosswalks and reconstruction of existing traffic signals, on Frankford Road at Campbell Road (“Project”).
The RTC selected the Project to be funded from the SH 121 Subaccount, and the Texas Transportation Commission provided concurrence and authorization for the expenditure of funds from the SH 121 Subaccount by Minute Order No. 116824, dated October 31, 2024.
The City of Dallas is the lead agency to administer construction of the Project. The total estimated cost for construction is $500,000.00, which includes $400,000.00 in State participation and $100,000.00 in local participation. The City will also be responsible for any cost overruns.
