  • Very high historic and projected debt service coverage combined with

conservative financial management

– Large population base, economic diversity and above average wealth levels reinforce the highest credit quality – Lowest sales tax volatility among California self-help counties – Recovering sales tax base, increasing 7.8% from FY11 to FY12 and 6.2% from FY12 to FY13

  • Bondholder legal provisions further protect credit quality

– Gross pledge of tax revenues – independent of operations and capital program – Trustee intercept and monthly principal & interest set-asides – Allocation to ordinance uses and need to operate system restrict future borrowing

  • Strong management

– Successful management of Prop A and Prop C over two decades – Proven ability to deliver capital program – Long Range Transportation Plan remains intact despite sales tax adjustments

  • Mandate from community and voters to improve regional transportation

– 67% yes vote on Measure R (November 2008) – Metro is a key element in regional economy and growth
