Massey, X1001 Resolution No. 2002-RO148 xklv�L&7�16 f,YI—IW'r-4z31z Z am sure that you are aware that The City of Lubbock/Citibus has been awarded a Section 5309 Discretionary Ean ark in the amount of $1,000,000. This earmark will be used for Phase H of the Texas Tech University Park and Rude Lot. The City of Lubbock/ Citibus would like to request toll credits to match the amount awarded in the earmark. Last year the City of Lubbock/Citibus'received a Section 5309 Discretionary Earmark in the amount of $990,315, and TxDOT graci6usly awarded toll credits to match. These fonds were used for Phase I of the Texas Tech park and Ride Lot. The funds awarded this year still will not complete the project, however the fields will be used to complete as much of the project as possible. The City of Lubbock/Citibus plans to request another earmark next year. Any funds awarded will be used to Complete the park and ride lot and purchase expansion buses. I appreciate your help with this matter and I look forward to seeing you in Austin on January 171h. Sincerely, lcz� John L.
