Dear Mr. Lee:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, (D.C. Official Code§ 47-363 et seq.), I am
submitting a request to reprogram FY 2026 Capital Pay go funds in the amount of $600,000.00
from the DDOT capital budget to the DDOT operating budget. The funds are needed because the
activity for which funding was allocated in the FY 2025 budget has been deemed ineligible
for capital funding. The funds will be reprogrammed as outlined on the attached attributes
sheet and additional details are contained in the agency's submission.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to the Chief Financial Officer's
favorable review.

The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001

Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Full Year
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L. No. 119-4,
the Office of the Chief Financial Officer has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram Pay-As-You-
Go (PAYGO) Capital funds budget authority and allotment in the amount of $600,000 from the District
Department of Transportation (DDOT) to DDOT’s operating budget.

This reprogramming will fund developing the Downtown Transportation Plan that has been deemed
ineligible for capital funding. An initial amount of $400,000 was transferred in Fiscal Year 2025. This
reprogramming request covers the remaining $600,000 needed in the current fiscal year (FY 2026) to
complete the funding for the plan.

Paygo Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the project below, through the PA0 Reverse Paygo
project number 100958:

AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
KA0/KA0 101319 DOWNTOWN
PLAN
TRANSPORTATION
$ 600,000.00
TOTAL $ 600,000.00

Paygo Capital budget will be reprogrammed to the DDOT operating budget as shown below:

AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
KA0/KA0 000000 No Project $ 600,000.00
TOTAL $ 600,000.00

The Honorable Phil Mendelson
FY 2025 Request to Reprogram $1,150,161
Page 2

The funds are available to reprogram from the Downtown Transportation Plan Project because the
Paygo funding was loaded to the DDOT budget to cover these activities. However, the activities are
not eligible for capital budget and should be paid for out of the operating budget. This reprogramming
will ensure that funds are expended from the appropriate budget.

Per the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Support Act of 2023, Section 6043, all DDOT reprogrammings must
be submitted to Council for resolution until evidence of an executed contract per § 50921.21(c)(1) is
transmitted to the Council and Chair of the Committee with oversight over DDOT.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an adverse
impact on the DDOT’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to this
reprogramming request.

If you have any questions, please contact Joshua Agbebakun via MS Teams.

Sincerely,

Glen Lee

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Sharon Kershbaum, Director, DDOT
Calvin Skinner, Agency Fiscal Officer, DDOT
DATE: October 1, 2025
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Request to Reprogram $600,000.00 in Paygo Capital Funds from
the Downtown Transportation Plan project to DDOT’s operating budget
T
he District Department of Transportation (DDOT) requests to reprogram $600,000.00 from the
Downtown Transportation Plan capital project (101319) to DDOT’s operating budget.
Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed in DDOT’s operating budget because development of the Downtown
Transportation Plan, which was funded in the approved FY 2025 budget, has been deemed
ineligible for capital funding. DDOT has executed an MOU with DMPED to transfer the full $1
million in approved funds for this activity—$400,000 in FY 2025 and $600,000 in FY 2026, in
accordance with the executed MOU.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or
mark-up sheets?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See attached attributes sheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available in the project because they were added to DDOT’s capital budget for the
stated purpose as part of the FY 2025 budget formulation process.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?

2

The District will not be able to carry out the Downtown Transportation Plan to identify
transportation improvements needed to support the revitalization of downtown.

What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming.
Should you have any questions, please contact Ben Hampton, Resource Allocation Officer, at
ben.hampton@dc.gov or 771-233-4955.
