The Feds are still paying nothing for Phase II. Phase II doesn't meet Fed requirements for "cost/benefit" which are absurdly defined as cost per passenger mile. The $23M the State is paying for Phase II is bumped up by the $150M from the LaHood deal. Also, as part of that deal Fairfax's portion increases because they are building the Rt. 28 station & garage. Basically, all the other percentages remain the same.

The current total for Fairfax (including Rt 28) is $900-965M (of which 80% will be financed through special tax districts) and for Loudoun is $260M. The current total cost of Phase II is $2.7B (the slides, which are dated, show $2.5B)
