§ 100124 Vta Insurance Authority

This law lets the VTA buy insurance to cover damage to its system, loss of money, and to require insurance when it issues bonds.

Key Takeaways

  • •The VTA can get insurance for any accident or destruction of its system.
  • •The VTA can also insure against loss of revenue from any cause.
  • •When the VTA issues bonds, it can require insurance coverage and pay the premiums as part of the bond process.

Example

A VTA train hits a fallen tree and the train is badly damaged.

Because of this law, the VTA can have an insurance policy that pays for the repair costs, so the agency doesn’t have to spend its own cash to fix the train.
