Introduction to the GANs and CTF Credits

Massachusetts’ Federal Highway Grant Anticipation Notes (GANs) are issued for the Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP)

− $940 million (which amount includes net premium) issued to date with $1.108 billion authorized

Massachusetts’ Commonwealth Transportation Fund (CTF) Revenue Bonds are issued under two programs:

− Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) - $1.770 billion (which amount includes net premium) issued to date with $1.876 billion

authorized

− Rail Enhancement Program (REP) - $729 million (which amount includes net premium) issued to date with $6.7 billion authorized

Accelerated Bridge Program

  • Pursuant to the Accelerated Bridge Program Act, the Commonwealth commenced a program to finance the accelerated capital

improvement of bridges and related infrastructure.

  • Intended to provide financing for the design, construction, reconstruction and repair or improvements to bridges and approaches.
  • Since the ABP commenced, 268 structures have been replaced, renovated or preserved. Of the 200 projects that have received

notices to proceed since the program began, 76% of the projects are trending on budget and 68% are on track to be completed by their original contract completion dates. The Program exceeded its primary goal of reducing the number of structurally deficient bridges to below 450 by the program target date of September 30, 2016. Rail Enhancement Program

  • Authorized by Chapter 79 of the Acts of 2014 to provide for the issuance of either general obligation or special obligation bonds to

fund capital expenditures of MassDOT for the benefit of the MBTA and for other rail improvements in the Commonwealth

  • Intended to provide financing for certain significant rail improvement projects in the Commonwealth outside the MBTA’s regular

capital program

  • MassDOT expects to fund portions of the following seven major REP projects with bond proceeds

Key Credit Strengths: Commonwealth Transportation Fund

Key CTF Credit Points Diverse and Stable State-wide Revenue Stream

  • Pledged revenues include fuel and non-fuel sources with Motor Fuels Tax and Registry Fees
  • Statewide taxes and fees, on large and diverse regional economy
  • Revenue collections are strong with diversity in timing
  • The Commonwealth increased the annual CTF Pledged Revenues base by over $120 million per year in

conjunction with authorizing the CTF Rail Enhancement Bonds Appropriation

  • Payment of CTF Bonds from CTF Pledged Funds requires legislative appropriation annually
  • However, if no appropriation is made for debt service, funds in the CTF may not be utilized for any other purpose

Debt Service Coverage After 2017 Series A Issue*

  • Strong debt service coverage of approximately 8.1x based on actual FY2017 CTF revenues of $1.349 billion

Additional Bonds Test

  • Pledged Funds for any 12 consecutive months during the last 18 months must be at least 4.0x future MADS,

including all parity bonds Commonwealth Rate Covenants

  • Trust Agreement does not allow the Commonwealth to change the rate of the Registry Fees or the Motor Fuels

Tax unless Net Pledged Revenues exceed 4.0x MADS coverage after the changes

  • NO Pledged Funds may be applied to “any other use” until appropriation has been made sufficient to pay

principal and interest

  • Article 78 – State Constitution requires all revenue from vehicle, fuel and motor vehicle license and registration

fees be used for transportation purposes only Debt Service Fund

  • Advance monthly set asides for payment of principal and semi-annual interest on a 1/10th and 1/5th basis,

respectively

Key Credit Strengths: Federal Highway Grant Anticipation Notes

Key GANs Credit Points “Double Barrel” Pledge

  • The Commonwealth has enjoyed a long history of stable funding from the Federal-Aid Highway Program
  • Use of Federal Highway Reimbursements to pay GANs Debt Service does not require a state appropriation
  • The Commonwealth received approximately $600 million in federal highway reimbursements in FY2017
  • Annual reimbursements are expected to average $653 million through FY2020
  • In addition, net CTF Pledged Funds are available for annual debt service. These net revenues have averaged

$1.1 billion annually for the past 5 years Debt Service Coverage After 2017 Series A Issue*

  • Strong debt service coverage of 16.2x to 21.0x, incorporating Federal Highway Reimbursements and Net CTF

pledged funds through FY2027. Additional Bonds Test

  • Two Pronged Test from a Dual Revenue Pledge – Two Independent Sources Provide Combined 4.0x ABT
  • 1. Amount of Federal Highway Reimbursements during any 12 consecutive months out of an 18 month period

(with the last full month proceeding the date of issuance of the Additional Notes) must not be less than 1.5x MADS in the current or any future FY; AND

  • 2. Amount of Net CTF Pledged Funds received during same 12 consecutive months must not be less than

2.5x MADS in the current or any future FY CTF’s Rate Covenants

  • Trust Agreement does not allow the Commonwealth to change the rate of the Registry Fees or the Motor Fuels

Tax unless Net Pledged Revenues exceed 4.0x MADS coverage after the changes

  • NO Pledged Funds may be applied to “any other use” until appropriation has been made sufficient to pay

principal and interest

  • Article 78 – State Constitution requires all revenue from vehicle, fuel and motor vehicle license and registration

fees be used for transportation purposes only Debt Service Fund

  • Advance annual set aside for payment of principal and semi-annual interest

Historic Stability of CTF Pledged Funds

 The table below demonstrates the strength, consistency, and reliability of CTF revenues totaling

  • ver $1 billion annually since FY2006.

 Diversity of CTF Pledged Funds mitigates the effect of potential declines in gasoline consumption.

________ SOURCE: Fiscal Years 2006-2016, Office of the Comptroller of the Commonwealth, audited, and fiscal 2017, Department of Revenue (“Pledged Motor Fuels Tax”) and MassDOT (“Registry Fees”), unaudited 1. Includes all Pledged Motor Fuels Tax collected by the Commonwealth pursuant to Chapters 64A, 64E and 64F of the Massachusetts General Laws and credited to various budgeted funds, except Aviation Fuel. 2. Equal to 20.9685¢ per gallon of the 21¢ per gallon Gas Tax imposed under Chapter 64A prior to July 31, 2013, and equal to 23.964¢ per gallon of the 24¢ per gallon Gas Tax imposed under Chapter 64A after July 31, 2013; prior to the Transportation Reform Act and the establishment of the Commonwealth Transportation Fund effective FY2010, the Gas Tax imposed under Chapter 64A was credited to the Highway Fund (84.85%), the General Fund (15.0%) and to the Inland Fisheries and Game Fund (0.15%). 3. Chapter 64E: Special Fuels Tax levied on each of specials fuels (24 cents) and liquefied gas sold or used in the Commonwealth. Chapter 64F: Motor Carrier Tax levied on each gallon of gasoline and special fuels acquired outside and used within the Commonwealth. Chapters 64E and Chapter 64F: 100% of the 24-cent tax is included as CTF Pledged Funds. 4. Certain prior years have been adjusted to reflect reclassification of RMV revenues. Registry Fees received by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles pursuant to Section 33 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws. Does not include amounts allocable to the cost of production of license plates, which in fiscal year 2017 was approximately $4.2 million. 5. FY2011 and FY2012 do not include $1 million and $2 million, respectively, of the Registry Fees which represented civil motor infraction fees collected in such fiscal years and transferred to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund in FY2013.

Gas Tax Collection Procedures

  • Gas Tax returns must be filed with the Commonwealth’s Department of Revenue by the 20th day of each

month by each distributor

  • Distributors are those who: (i) produce, refine, manufacture or compound gasoline; (ii) operate a port
  • r pipeline terminal; and (iii) import or export gasoline
  • Simultaneously with the filing of the return, each distributor is required to pay Department of Revenue the

Gas Tax on each taxable gallon of gasoline sold by that distributor during the month covered by the filing

  • Purchasers of gasoline pay the Gas Tax to a distributor when they purchase gasoline, resulting in a

very high collection rate

  • In FY2017, there were approximately 93 Distributors and 440 special fuels suppliers who filed tax returns

with the Commissioner of Revenue

  • In FY2016, approximately 59.1% of the total annual Gas Tax collections came from ten largest payers of

the Gas Tax, and approximately 40.9% of the total annual Special Fuels Tax collections came from ten largest payers of the Special Fuels Tax

  • In both FY2017 and 2018, the top ten Gas Tax payers are expected to pay approximately 58% to 63% of

the total annual Gas Tax collections, and the top ten Special Fuels Tax payers are expected to pay approximately 40% to 42% of the total annual Special Fuels Tax collections

Registry Fees Collection Mechanics

 Section 33 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws, as amended, authorizes the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to collect various fees (i.e., Registry Fees)

1) License

— Driver’s license — Identification cards — Professional driving schools — Reinstatement fees

2) Registration

— Motor vehicle registration fees

according to types of license plates

3) Registry Information

— Title fees — Inspection fees — Court records fees — Citation-related fees

Registry Fee Categories

  • Collected at Registry branch locations via a telephone center or on-line
  • Certain third parties (i.e., Southern New England AAA offices) may

also collect fees on behalf of the Registry and are required to keep such revenues segregated from other sources of revenue

  • Methods of payment include cash, checks, electronic checks, money
  • rders, credit card and debit card
  • Security measures in connection with fee collection are established by

MassDOT

  • Internal Audit Department periodically audits branches and

employees for compliance with payment handling policies and procedures

  • Administrative sanctions are implemented when appropriate (i.e.,

retraining, termination)

  • Registry Fees are swept daily by Massachusetts Treasury, credited

to the appropriate accounts and recorded by the Comptroller of the Commonwealth into the Commonwealth’s accounting system Registry Fee Collection Mechanics

Passage of the FAST Act of 2015

  • In December 2015, Congress enacted a five year $305 billion federal transportation bill and extended

the Highway Trust Fund through September 30, 2020

  • The bi-partisan FAST (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation) Act is the longest reauthorization of

federal highway transportation authorized by Congress since 2005

− Ends an era of stop-gap bills since the last multi-year bill expired in 2009 − Provides state and local government (and investors) greater certainty about long-term funding

for surface transportation

  • Eliminates the uncertainty of future federal highway aid programs
  • Lowers the risk of federal highway payment interruption or reduction
  • Extends five of the six excise taxes that support the Highway Trust Fund through September 30, 2022

and the heavy vehicle use tax through September 30, 2023

  • Replaces interim short-term federal highway funding authorizations
  • Increases overall funding through federal fiscal year 2020

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Credit Strength of the FHWA Funding for GANs

  • The Commonwealth has enjoyed a long history of stable funding from the Federal-Aid Highway

Program (the “Program”)

− Even during the 2013 federal government shutdown, Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”)

reimbursements flowed weekly to Massachusetts without interruption

  • The Commonwealth believes that the Program plays a critical role in preserving the national highway

system and the chronic funding shortfalls facing transportation will ensure its continued support and reauthorization

− Since such assistance was established by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, the Program has

been reauthorized numerous times in various forms at generally increasing funding levels

− Actual payments to states have continued without interruption since 1956

  • The current authorization for the Program, as extended by the FAST Act of 2015, provides for funding

through September 30, 2020

− The FAST Act maintains the majority of the previous Act (MAP-21) apportionment process − The FAST Act, over the life of the legislation, increases overall highway funding by 15% and transit

funding by 18%

16

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Double-Barrel Pledge for GANs

  • As a Special Tax credit, the GANs represent a unique high quality transportation credit

− The debt service set-aside (one-year in advance) provides bondholders with a security feature that

is the equivalent of a fully funded MADS Debt Service Reserve Fund

− Two-pronged ABT requires an aggregate 4.0x MADS coverage − Projected debt service coverage on the 2017A GANs financing ranges from 16.2x to 21.0x through

FY2027 (consisting of Federal Highway Reimbursements and Net CTF Pledged Funds)

  • The GANs have two strong and independent revenue streams with an extremely low joint default

probability

− The GANs have a senior lien on federal reimbursements; with projected debt service coverage on

the 2017A GANs of 5.5x to 7.0x

− The GANs are further secured by a pledge of over $1.1 billion in current annual Net CTF Pledged

2017 CTF and GANs Structuring and Credit Summary*

 Debt service coverage including expected future issuances of CTF Bonds is estimated to be approximately 6.0x  ABT of 4.0x  Large, diverse revenue stream with over $1.378 billion annually for debt service  History of strong CTF Pledged Fund performance  Revenue covenant to restrict ability to alter Motor Fuel Taxes and Registry Fees  Constitutional provision requires that transportation revenues be spent only on transportation purposes  Monthly funding of debt service on a 1/5th and 1/10th basis for semi-annual interest and principal, respectively

2017A CTF Credit Highlights

*Preliminary, subject to change

 Commonwealth’s CTF and GANs credits are among the strongest transportation credits in the US  Both credits were created to provide investors with significant debt service coverage and legal protections  The strong credit features inherent in both bond programs, justify the Aa1/AAA and Aa2/AAA category ratings (from Moodys/S&P) for the CTF bonds and GANs, respectively, reflecting the low risk to investors

29

 Two-pronged ABT providing 4.0x MADS coverage  History of success in obligating Federal funds  No appropriation of Federal Highway Reimbursements is necessary  Debt service deposited with trustee one year in advance of payment  Double barreled security provided by Federal Highway Reimbursements and Net CTF Pledged Funds  Projected debt service coverage on all future issuance of GANs (assuming all future issuances of CTF Bonds) is

estimated to be no less than 15.1x (assuming both Federal Highway Reimbursements and Net CTF Pledged Funds)
