AI Summary
This bill amends the Local Mass Transit District Act to expand the powers of local mass transit district boards of trustees by allowing them to engage in transit-oriented and trail-oriented developments. These developments can include residential, commercial, mixed-use, governmental, or institutional facilities located near transit stations, bus stops, transit hubs, or trails. Specifically, the bill permits transit district boards to initiate such developments, partner with public and private entities, acquire and own property, design and construct facilities, use district funds, and secure financing through borrowing, bonds, grants, and agreements. This legislation aims to provide local transit districts with greater flexibility to develop and improve infrastructure and community spaces around public transit and trail systems, potentially enhancing transportation accessibility, urban development, and community connectivity.
