Key Takeaways

  • •The board can decide to borrow money (by selling bonds) to pay for transit projects.
  • •This money can be used to build or buy things like buses, train tracks, or stations.
  • •The borrowing is only for special transit areas, not the whole city or county.
  • •The board can do this anytime after they create the special transit area.

Example
