IMPLEMENTATION AND FINANCING PLAN <br />negotiated and implemented contractually between the airport and the rental car companies and are <br />collected under specific terms including use of the funds. CFC revenue is typically limited to funding rental <br />car facilities and operating costs at the airport, rental car related capital expense (debt service), and rental <br />car related operating and maintenance expenses. Between FY 2007 and FY 2010, Eugene Airport collected <br />CFCs at a rate of $2.00 per customer transaction per rental day. In FY 2011, the CFC rate increased to <br />$3.00 per customer transaction per rental day. As of January 2018, only $173,600 of the collected CFCs <br />6 <br />have been spent. <br /> State and Local Funding Sources <br />State funding to the Airport is available through the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA) Aviation <br />System Action Program (ASAP) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) ConnectOregon <br />program. EUG is a city owned airport and all local funding for airport infrastructure is provided from the <br />Eugene Airport Enterprise Fund through money generated by Airport operations, lands and its assets. <br />5.4.4.1 State and Local Funding Sources <br />ConnectOregon is an Oregon state multi-modal transportation (excluding highways) funding program <br />which began in 2005 when it was authorized by the Oregon state legislature. The program is a lottery- <br />backed bond initiative to invest in air, rail, marine, transit and bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure which aims <br />s strong, diverse, and efficient. The ConnectOregon program is <br />currently slated for review by the Oregon State Legislature under House Bill 2288 (ConnectOregon VII). <br />Assuming the bill is passed by the Oregon House of Representatives and the State Senate as written, the <br />recommended budget in this bill would provide $71.1 million in funding to state transportation projects <br />during the 2017-2019 biennium from lottery bond revenue. ConnectOregon projects are eligible for grants <br />that cover up to 70 percent of project costs. A minimum 30 percent cash match is required from the funds <br />recipient for the grant to be funded. Projects eligible for funding from state fuel taxes are not eligible (see <br />Section 3a, Article IX of the Oregon Constitution, the Highway Trust Fund) for ConnectOregon funding. <br />Another state funding opportunity provided by the Oregon Department of Aviation is the Critical Oregon <br />Airport Relief (COAR) Program. This program uses state aviation fuel taxes to fund approved airport <br />projects within the state. Grant applications for the COAR program are reviewed, scored according to a <br />prescribed formula, and ranked by the Aviation Review Committee. This committee considers the <br />following criteria when selecting transportation projects: <br />» Reduction in transportation costs for Oregon businesses or ability to improve access to jobs and <br />sources of labor. <br />» Project results in an economic benefit to the State of Oregon. <br />» Fulfills a c <br />improve utilization and efficiency of the system. <br />» Cost of proposed project can be borne by the grant applicant from any source other than <br />ConnectOregon. <br />» Construction readiness. <br />» Useful life expectant that offers maximum benefit to the state. <br /> <br />6 <br /> CFC money was spent on early design for rental car service facility. <br />EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 5-9 <br /> <br />
