SB 6774: Transp benefit districts

Concerning transportation benefit districts.

Summary

  • Provides an optional, alternative governance structure for transportation benefit districts (TBD) that include territory within more than one jurisdiction, by allowing such TBDs to be governed by the governing body of a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) if the TBD and the MPO have identical boundaries.
  • Clarifies that a TBD may propose to fund transportation improvements that are consistent with any existing relevant state, regional, or local transportation plan, instead of all relevant transportation plans.
  • Temporarily authorizes certain public transportation benefit areas (PTBA) to establish a transportation benefit district (TBD) within the full boundaries of the PTBA, and provides that any TBD established by a PTBA may not collect TBD fees or taxes after June 30, 2015 and must cease to exist by July 31, 2015.
  • Makes technical changes to the TBD statute to remove expired language.
