Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5309, the purposes of this Agreement are to:
(a) provide Federal financial assistance to the Grantee in the form of this Full Funding Grant
and possible future awards of financial assistance as contemplated under this Agreement, not
to exceed the Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution for the Project, as is and
may be awarded under this Agreement and the laws codified at 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 for
purposes that are consistent with those statutes, implementing regulations, and other
applicable laws and regulations;
(b) describe the Project and set forth the mutual understandings, terms, conditions, rights and
obligations of the parties related to implementing the Project, the future management and
operation of the Project, and the manner in which Project real property and equipment will
be used;
(c) establish the Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution for the Project, and the
manner in which all future Federal funds for the Project, if any, will be awarded and
released to the Grantee;
(d) establish the Grantee's financial commitment to the Project including its obligation to fund
the Local Share, its obligation to Complete the Project with a specified amount of Federal
assistance, its obligation to achieve revenue operation of the Project by a specified date, its
obligation to pay all costs necessary to Complete the Project that are in excess of the
Estimated Net Project Cost, and its obligation to finance the future maintenance and
operational costs of the Project; and
(e) facilitate timely and efficient management of the Project.

SECTION 3. PREVIOUS FEDERAL DOCUMENTS AND GRANTS
(a) The Government's laws, policies and procedures require the completion of a project
development process and environmental review prior to the Award and Execution of this
Agreement. Prior Grants of Federal assistance awarded by the Government for this project
development process are described in Attachment 5 to this Agreement. These Grants, and
any other documents that are described in Attachment 5, including Letters of No Prejudice,
are incorporated by reference and made part of this Agreement, except for the terms and
conditions thereof specifically superseded by this Agreement. Further, in executing this
Agreement, the Grantee assures that the certifications and assurances made by the Grantee
or on behalf of the Grantee or by a third party, upon which the Government relied in these
prior actions, were made to the Government in good faith and to the best of the Grantee's
knowledge and belief, and that the Grantee has no present knowledge of facts or
circumstances substantially affecting the continued validity of these certifications and

assurances that the Grantee has not formally conveyed to the Government prior to the
Government's Award of funding set forth in this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement does not discharge or rescind any of the terms, conditions, or obligations
established under the documents set forth in Attachment 5 unless specifically stated
otherwise herein. Further, the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement take
precedence over the provisions of all prior agreements related to the Project between the
Grantee and the Government and will be controlling for all actions related to the Project
taken after the Date of this Agreement, unless specifically stated otherwise herein.
(c) No amendments will be sought or approved to increase the amount of funds in the prior
Grants listed in Attachment 5 beyond the amounts described in this Agreement as available
to the Project.
SECTION 4. OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT
(a) The Government has no obligation to provide any financial assistance for the Project beyond
the Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution. If the total Federal funding
provided under Section 8 of this Agreement, "Limitations of Federal Funding
Commitment," is insufficient to undertake revenue service of the Project and the subsequent
activities necessary to Complete the Project, the Grantee agrees to Complete the Project and
accepts sole responsibility for the payment of any additional costs (overruns).
(b) If at any time during its efforts to Complete the Project the Grantee determines that the total
Project Cost will exceed the Baseline Cost Estimate, the Grantee must immediately notify
the Government of the amount of the difference and the reasons for the difference. Further,
the Grantee must provide the Government with a Recovery Plan that demonstrates the
Grantee is taking and will take every reasonable measure to eliminate [recover] the
difference between the total Project Cost and the Baseline Cost Estimate. Insofar as any
difference between the total Project Cost and the Baseline Cost Estimate cannot be
eliminated [recovered], the Grantee must secure and provide such additional resources as are
necessary to meet the additional costs and expeditiously complete the Project without further
financial assistance from the Federal capital New Starts program. Further, in its Recovery
Plan, the Grantee must identify the sources of funds it will draw upon to meet the additional
costs and cover the difference between the total Project Cost and the Baseline Cost Estimate.
SECTION 5. REVENUE SERVICE DATE AND LEVELS OF SERVICE
(a) The Grantee agrees and promises to achieve revenue operations of the Project on or before
December 31, 2022, the Revenue Service Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.
(b) The Revenue Service Date is a significant term of this Agreement. The Grantee's failure to
achieve the operational functions of the Project on or before the Revenue Service Date will
constitute a breach of this Agreement. Upon the Grantee's request, the Government may
determine at its sole discretion to waive a breach or an anticipatory breach of this Agreement
7
and to extend the Revenue Service Date if there is an unavoidable delay in achieving the
operational goals of the Project resulting from an event or circumstance beyond the control
of the Grantee, or if the Government determines that allowing the delay is in the best interest
of the Government and the success of the Project. Requests by the Grantee for waiver of a
breach or anticipatory breach of this Agreement and extension of the Revenue Service Date
for the reasons set forth herein shall be submitted promptly, with appropriate documentation,
to the Government. In the exercise of its discretion to waive the breach and extend the
Revenue Service Date, the Government will take into consideration the actions and
measures taken by the Grantee to ensure adherence to its promise to achieve the operational
goals of the Project on or before the scheduled Revenue Service Date.
(c) Delays in appropriations of funds from Congress shall not constitute a basis for extension of
the Revenue Service Date.
(d) The Government's consent to extend the Revenue Service Date pursuant to Paragraph (b) of
this Section 5 does not constitute a basis for additional Federal financial assistance beyond
the Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution.
(e) Set forth in Attachment 1 to this Agreement, "Scope of Project," are the hours of service and
headways the Grantee will maintain once the Project is opened to Revenue Service and for
no less than five (5) years thereafter. These specified Levels of Service are a significant
term of this Agreement. The Grantee's failure to achieve and maintain these Levels of
Service at the Revenue Service Date and for five (5) years thereafter will constitute a breach
of this Agreement. Upon the Grantee's request, the Government may determine in its sole
discretion to waive a breach of the Grantee's obligation to maintain these specified Levels of
Service for events or circumstances beyond the control of the Grantee, or if the Government
determines that a waiver is in the interests of the United States. In the exercise of its
discretion whether to waive a breach of the specified Levels of Service, the Government will
take into consideration the actions and measures taken by the Grantee to achieve and
maintain the operational goals of the Project and the Grantee's entire public transportation
system for at least five (5) years beyond the opening of the Project to Revenue Service.
SECTION 6. NET PROJECT COST
(a) This Grant is to assist in the payment of actual eligible costs within the scope of the Project
under this Agreement, minus any amount that can reasonably be financed from revenues of
the Grantee, the Net Project Cost. If the funds awarded under this grant exceed the amount
necessary to finance the Federal share, those excess funds are not available to the Grantee
for payment of costs beyond the scope of this Project supported by this Grant.
(b) In accordance with the FTA Master Agreement, a refund or reduction of the Grantee's Local
Share of the Net Project Cost requires a refund to the Government of a proportional amount
of the Federal financial assistance provided under this Agreement.
(c) The portion of the Net Project Cost that may be financed by the Government with capital
New Starts funds may not exceed the amount of the Maximum Federal New Starts Financial
Contribution for this Project as stated in Section 8 of this Agreement, "Limitations of the
Federal Funding Commitment."

(d) The Grantee acknowledges that Federal funds may be used only to reimburse eligible
expenses for the Project. Should FTA determine that Federal funds have been used to
reimburse any expenses that were ineligible for Federal reimbursement, FTA will direct the
Grantee either to reimburse FTA with local funds not already committed to the Project or to
reduce the total project costs by the amounts found to have been ineligible.
SECTION 7. ESTIMATED NET PROJECT COST
(a) The Government's determination to provide financial assistance for the Project is based, in
significant part, upon the Grantee's estimated costs as set forth in the "Baseline Cost
Estimate," Attachment 3 to this Agreement. The Estimated Net Project Cost reported in
Attachment 3 is $2,407,030,286. -
(b) The Estimated Net Project Cost financed with the Execution of this Agreement is limited by
the amount of the Maximum FTA Amount Awarded. The amount of the Estimated Net
Project Cost and the amount of the Maximum FTA Amount Awarded are stated in the first
page of this Agreement. The amount reimbursable by the Government is limited to the
lesser of either the amount of the Maximum FTA Amount Awarded or the maximum
percentage of FTA participation permitted by Federal law and regulations. Additional funds
will not be provided until a Grant amendment awarding additional funds and amending this
Full Funding Grant Agreement is executed.
SECTION 8. LIMITATIONS OF THE FEDERAL FUNDING COMMITMENT
(a) With its Award set forth in this Agreement, the Government obligates $200,000,000 for a
total award of $203,000,000 in Federal capital New Starts financial assistance for the
Project. The sources of this Federal financial assistance are set forth in the "Project
Budget," Attachment 3A. These funds are in addition to all previous Federal financial
commitments to the development of the Project as set forth in the schedule of "Prior Grants
and Related Documents," Attachment 5 of this Agreement.
(b) (1) With its Award set forth in this Agreement, the Government acknowledges its intent to
provide Federal capital New Starts financial assistance for the Project in addition to the
amount set forth in Paragraph (a) of this Section 8. The amount of additional capital New
Starts funds the Government may provide will not exceed $697,000,000. The anticipated
sources of Federal financial assistance in this amount are listed in Attachment 6 to this
Agreement, "Schedule of Federal Funds for the Project." Additional funds obligated
pursuant to this Paragraph will be subject to all the terms, conditions and obligations
established by this Agreement. Accordingly, it is expected that the award of additional
funds will be processed through amendments to this Agreement.
(2) The award by the Government of additional Federal capital New Starts financial
assistance to the Project under Paragraph (b)( 1) of this Section 8 is subject to the following
limitations:
(A) the availability of appropriated funds, and
(B) the Grantee's continued performance under the terms arid conditions of this
Agreement.
(c) The Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution for this Project under the capital
New Starts category of funds is limited to $900,000,000 which is the sum of the amounts set
forth in Paragraphs (a) and (b)(l) of this Section.
SECTION 9. FEDERAL FUNDING-OTHER SOURCES
The Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution specified in Section 8(c) of this
Agreement does not include funds other than from the capital New Starts program under
49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. Should such other Federal funds be provided for the Project in addition to
the Federal capital New Starts funds set forth in Attachment 6 of this Agreement, the limitation
on the Federal funding commitment set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement shall not apply to
those funds. Accordingly, such additional funds shall be excluded from the calculation of
Maximum Federal New Starts Financial Contribution. Funds awarded pursuant to this Section
will be subject to all other terms, conditions and obligations set forth in the Agreement.
SECTION 10. LOCAL FINANCIAL COMMITMENT-CAPITAL COSTS
(a) As a condition of the Government's Award of this Full Funding Grant, the Grantee has
developed and adopted a Financial Plan for financing all Project Costs necessary to
complete the Project. In addition to the amount of Federal funds requested, the Financial
Plan includes a statement identifying the State, local and private sources of funding and the
amount of funds available for and committed to the Project from each such source. This
Financial Plan, as accepted by the Government, with the supporting documentation,
including formal funding agreements and commitments, is hereby incorporated by reference
and made part of this Agreement.
(b) The Grantee hereby commits and certifies that it will provide funds in an amount sufficient,
together with the Federal contribution (acknowledging the limitations as set forth in this
Agreement), to assure timely and full payment of the Project Costs as necessary to complete
the Project.
(c) The Grantee hereby commits and certifies that the Local Share portion of its financing
commitment will be provided from funding sources other than: Federal funds (except as may
otherwise be authorized by Federal statute); receipts from the use of Project facilities or
equipment (except as may otherwise be authorized by Federal statute); or revenues of the
Project public transit system in which such facilities or equipment are used.
(d) Given the Estimated Net Project Cost, as set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement, the
Grantee's financial commitment to the Net Project Cost is estimated to total $1,471,030,286.
This amount constitutes the Local Share needed to match the Maximum Federal New Starts
Financial Contribution for the Project and Other Federal Sources. In the event that the
actual Federal financial contribution for the Project is reduced or is increased or the funding
10
percentage as set forth in this Agreement is changed, the portion of the Grantee's financial
contribution for the Project that is identified as Local Share shall be adjusted accordingly.
(e) The Grantee agrees to notify the Government of any change in circumstances or
commitments that adversely affects the Grantee's plan to fund the Project Costs necessary to
complete the Project as set forth in the Financial Plan. In its notification, the Grantee shall
advise the Government of what actions it has taken or plans to take to ensure adequate
funding resources and shall reaffirm its commitment to the Government as set forth in
Paragraph (b) of this Section 10.
SECTION 11. AUTHORIZATION TO ADVANCE PROJECT WITHOUT PREJUDICE
The Grantee may incur costs or expend local funds for all phases of the Project as is reasonably
necessary to advance the Project prior to an award of Federal funding assistance without
prejudice to possible future Federal participation in or reimbursement of the Project Costs to the
extent that such costs are incurred in accordance with all applicable Federal requirements and
this Agreement. It is understood that the authority conferred on the Grantee to advance the
Project without prejudice does not constitute a legal commitment by the Government to obligate
and award Federal funds.
SECTION 12. LOCAL FINANCIAL COMMITMENT-OPERATING AND
MAINTENANCE COSTS
(a) As a condition of the Government's Award of funding set forth in this Agreement, the
Grantee has developed and adopted a Financial Plan to finance the future operation and
maintenance of the Project that also takes into consideration the Grantee's continuing
financial responsibilities to operate, maintain and reinvest in its existing transit system. This
Financial Plan, as accepted by the Government, and the supporting documentation,
including specific funding commitments, evidencing stable and dependable funding sources
are an essential part of the Grantee's Application and are made part of this Agreement by
incorporation of the Application.
(b) With the Execution of this Agreement, the Grantee assures that it has stable and dependable
funding sources, sufficient in amount and in degree of commitment, to operate and maintain
its entire public transportation system at an adequate and efficient level of service, including
the future operation and maintenance of the Project without additional Federal assistance
beyond the amounts set forth in the Financial Plan. The foregoing assurance does not
preclude the Grantee from altering service through contracts with private providers of public
transportation services.
(c) The Grantee will notify the Government of any change in circumstances or commitments
that adversely affects the Grantee's plan to fund the maintenance and operating costs of the
Project as set forth in the Financial Plan. In its notification, the Grantee will advise the
Government of actions it has taken or plans to take to ensure adequate funding resources and
will reaffirm to the Government its assurance as set forth in Paragraph (b) of this Section.
11
SECTION 13. BASELINE COST ESTIMATE
(a) In its Application, the Grantee submitted to the Government a Baseline Cost Estimate for the
activities constituting the Project. The Baseline Cost Estimate is accepted by the
Government and is Attachment 3 of this Agreement. The Baseline Cost Estimate is derived
from cost estimates of the individual third -party contracts and force account work that, in
sum, constitute the Project; it reflects appropriate escalation and Project schedule dates.
(b) The Government intends to use the Baseline Cost Estimate to monitor the Grantee's
compliance with certain terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Baseline Cost
Estimate established in Attachment 3 serves as the measure of cost estimates as of the Date
of this Agreement, and will not be amended or modified during the implementation of the
Project.
(c) The Grantee will submit cost reports on the implementation of the Project as required by this
Agreement and in a format consistent with the units set forth in the Baseline Cost Estimate

Maryland National Capital Purple Line
Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, Maryland
Scope of the Project
The Maryland National Capital Purple Line (the Project) is a 16.2-mile east-west light rail transit (LRT)
line that will extend from the Bethesda Metrorail Station in Montgomery County to the New Carroliton
Metrorail Station in Prince George's County. The Project will connect both branches of the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrorail Red Line at Bethesda and
Silver Spring, the Green Line at College Park, and the Orange Line at New Carroliton. It will also
connect to all three Maryland Area Rail Commuter (MARC) lines, local and regional bus systems, and
Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. The Project will serve not only existing residential neighborhoods,
employment and education centers, and attractions, but also a number of areas that would benefit from
economic development and investment. The Project will provide opportunities for transit-oriented
development and support transit-oriented revitalization plans in locations including Silver Spring,
Takoma Park, Langley Park, the University of Maryland, College Park, Riverdale Park, Glenridge, and
New Carrollton.
The Project will be primarily at grade, operating in exclusive or dedicated lanes or right-of-way for 15
miles. In three sections on Wayne Avenue, Paint Branch Parkway, and Ellin Road it will operate in
mixed traffic for total length of 1.2 miles. It has one short tunnel of 0.36 miles in length under Plymouth
Street in East Silver Spring. It will also travel on three short separate aerial structures and eight bridges
for 0.46 miles in total over Connecticut Avenue, Rock Creek, Silver Spring Transit Center, Sligo
Creek, University Boulevard, Northwest Branch of the Anacostia River, Kenilworth Avenue,
Riverdale Road and other locations. The Project will be given traffic signal priority or pre-emption at
most intersections.
The Project includes the construction of 21 stations: 16 are at grade, 3 are elevated, and 2 are below
grade. No stations will feature new parking facilities, though the Project will connect to WMATA
Metrorail stations with existing parking. The Project includes two yard and shop facilities and two
operations control centers.
The Project includes the purchase of 25 multiple -section 136-foot long articulated light rail vehicles
(LRVs). The vehicles will be electrically powered through the use of an overhead wire catenary system
and a 1,500 volt traction power supply system. Fare collection will be off-board and will utilize a
"proof of payment" system.
The project scope includes right-of-way; preliminary and final design; environmental mitigation;
community relations; safety and security certification; start-up, training and testing for revenue service.
The project scope also includes train control and signals, traffic controls, communications, traction
power supply and distribution, and fare collection systems and equipment.
The hours of operation will be from 5:00 a.m. to midnight on weekdays, and 7:00 a.m. to midnight on
weekends. The planned peak period headway in the opening year (2022) is 7.5 minutes; while off-peak
and weekend headways of 10 to 15 minutes are planned. The forecasted daily ridership using current
year inputs of population and employment is 41,000 daily linked trips. The estimated daily ridership
in 2035 is 56,100 linked trips with planned peak period headway of 6 minutes.
The Revenue Service Date for the Project is December 31, 2022.

Maryland -National Capital Purple Line
Schedule of Federal Funds
Section 3005 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation ("FAST") Act (Pub. L. 114-94; Dec.
4, 2015) authorizes FTA to award Federal Capital Investment Grant program (New Starts) funds
for design and construction of the Maryland National Capital Purple Line (the Project). In
accordance with Federal transit law at 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 and FTA Circular 5200.1A, Full
Funding Grant Agreements Guidance (December 5, 2002), by the execution ofthis Agreement the
Government is limiting its commitment to provide New Starts funding for the Project to those
funds that have been or may be appropriated during the term of the FAST Act and subsequent
authorizations. The Government and the Grantee recognize, however, that the period of time
necessary to complete the Project will extend beyond the FAST Act, as evidenced by Attachment
4 of this Agreement (Baseline Schedule).
Currently, the Government and the Grantee anticipate that the New Starts funds will be provided
for the Project as follows:

Measures to Mitigate Environmental Impacts
The environmental record for the Project consists of the following documents:
Alternatives Analysis/Draft Environmental Impact Statement (September 30, 2008)
Final Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Section 4(F) Evaluation (August 2013)
Record of Decision (March 19, 2014)
Inclusion of the Project in the Maryland DOT FY 20 15-2020 Statewide Transportation

15, 2014).
The mitigation measures and other Project features that reduce adverse impacts, to which FTA and
MTA, in conjunction with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) committed in the
environmental record, may not be eliminated from the Project, except by FTA's written consent
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. These mitigation measures include, but are
not limited to, commitments to perform further consultation with any agency on environmental
and related matters.
A matrix of environmental commitments has been developed and submitted to FTA as part of the
Master Permitting Plan and Schedule and will be used to document the specific actions taken and
timing necessary to meet the commitments to environmental mitigation as outlined in the Record
of Decision (ROD). The Master Permitting Plan and Schedule and the Matrix are monitored and
will be updated periodically by MTA and FTA with specific progress made on implementation
and incorporation of the mitigation strategies into the design andlor planned construction. The
matrix of environmental commitments and its periodic revisions to add the measures resulting
from required consultations, permit approvals, and FTA -approved changes and to update the
implementation status of the measures are incorporated herein by reference.

Attachment 8
Completion of a Before -and -After Study
The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will assemble information and conduct analyses to
determine the actual outcomes of the Purple Line (the Project), evaluate the accuracy of the
predicted outcomes prepared during the planning and development of the Project, and identify any
lessons learned regarding the preparation of those predictions. MTA will assemble the information
and conduct the analyses in accordance with the Before-and -After Study Plan prepared by MTA
and approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Specifically, the plan addresses the
following requirements:
Information
MTA will assemble information on five key characteristics of the Project and its associated transit
services:
Project scope: The physical components ofthe Project, including environmental mitigation
and other related elements;
Capital cost: The total Project capital costs in constant dollars, formatted in FTA' s Standard
Cost Categories, and annual expenditures in year -of-expenditure dollars;
Transit service levels: The service characteristics on the Project, feeder buses, and other
affected transit services in the corridor;
Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs: O&M costs for the Project and the change in
O&M costs for other transit services in the corridor; and
Ridership: Trips on the Project and the change in total transit trips in the corridor.
Milestones
MTA will assemble predictions ofProject outcomes at three milestones during development ofthe
Project and will collect data at two milestones during its implementation. At each milestone, MTA
will archive the assembled information, data, and documentation and provide to FTA a copy of
the archive. The milestones and associated information requirements are:
Entry into Preliminary Engineering: The predicted outcomes on all five Project
characteristics provided by MTA in support of its request to advance the Project;
Entry into Engineering: The predicted outcomes on all five Project characteristics
provided by MTA in support of its request to advance the Project, plus an
analysis of the accuracy of predictions at the previous milestone and compared to
predictions at this milestone;
Full Funding Grant Agreement: The predicted outcomes on all five Project
characteristics provided by MTA in support of its request, plus an analysis of the
accuracy of predictions at the previous milestone compared to predictions at this
milestone;

FFGA Attachments
Actual Conditions before Project Implementation: Data collected on existing

transit services, O&M costs, and transit ridership immediately prior to any
significant changes in transit services levels caused by either the construction or
the opening of the Project; and
Actual Conditions after Project Opening: Data collected on the actual physical
scope and capital costs of the Project when it is completed and on transit service
levels, O&M costs and ridership two years of the start of service.
Final Report
Within 36 months after Project opening, MTA will complete a final report that for each Project
outcome (1) documents the actual outcome of the project, (2) evaluates the accuracy of the
predicted outcomes that were prepared during planning and development of the Project, and (3)
identifies any lessons learned about the preparation of those predictions that may be useful for
future projects. The body of the final report will be 15-20 pages that highlight findings,
conclusions, and lessons learned. Appendices to the final report will provide details supporting the
findings and conclusions.
Coordination with FTA

MTA will maintain communication with FTA and its contractors on progress in implementing the
Before -and-After Study Plan and provide opportunities for early review and comment on designs
for data collection and on draft products. MTA must obtain approval in advance of any changes in
the scope or schedule for the study as defined in the Study Plan approved by FTA.
