Abstract:

The initial results are set forth of a study that was designed to assist local decision makers in indentifying the full range of transit financing techniques, more systematically assessing the pros and cons of each local case, and choosing among alternative courses of action. The report reviews innovative financing techniques, many of which entail joint development and the related notion of value capture, evaluates the financing potential, institutional feasibility, and apparent promise for widespread application in the transit field. The innovative financing techniques are grouped into 3 categories: land, taxes, assessments and charges; and public land acquisition. It appears that combination on innovative financing techniques could defray about 5 to 15 percent of the capital cost associated with certain fixed guideway facilities. The possible payoffs from innovative techniques include: broadening the financial base for transit establishing an equitable allocation of costs; and enhancing the cost, effective of transit involvement.
