11. Current NCDOT Position  “Study is outdated” What’s changed in the last 18 months?  “Average toll more like $2” 10-15 million toll trips per year? Every M/W/C in LKN takes 100 toll trips/year  “Aggressive model- one of many simulations” Information sent in response to “Base Case Financial Model” FOIA request  “Only numbers that matter are Cintra’s” Will not be made public until AFTER contract is signed  General lanes will only become re-congested again NCDOT’s impact study looked at first 6 months of 50 year contract

15. Status  “Commercial Close” Signed June 26, 2014  “Financial Close” Q4 2014 Time Is Short

16. How can this be stopped?  At the direction of the Governor  Vote of the NCGA HB 1274  Or…

22. Local Politicians Follow Suit  Cornelius Mayor Lynette Rinker: “It was just reiterated unequivocally by our legislative leaders that this (HOT lanes) is our one shot to get this done. This is it. That was underscored with bold type and exclamation points.” - Davidson New.net, April 1, 2013  Davidson Mayor John Woods: “We are under the direction of the state. The town of Davidson doesn't manage I-77, nor does the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County or Iredell County.” -Huntersville Herald, Jan 31, 2013
