What is “Dedicated” Funding for Transit?► A reliable source of annual revenues that provides

support to transit operations and/ or debt service on financed capital costs.

► Not necessarily “new” or “increased” funding, but the expansion of existing transit service will necessitate new revenue.

► Revenues are established on the front-end to be dedicated for transit and its use is not subject to the discretion of the local governing body as is the case with general fund contributions.

► Can be implemented through a variety of ways
