Abstract:A funding crisis exists for financing much needed transportation infrastructure projects across the nation and ; Texas is no exception. Texas has responded to the crisis by passing several bills allowing innovative ; financing and alternative options for project financing. Among these is Senate Bill 1266 (SB1266), which is ; a landmark legislation and was passed in 2007 as part of the 80th Legislature to provide the legal backdrop ; for the creation of the Transportation Reinvestment Zone (TRZ) to facilitate value capture of the tax ; increment from a future transportation project. This research aimed to provide various mechanisms to ; augment the implementation and understanding of SB1266 provisions across the state of Texas including but ; not limited to documenting the current understanding and knowledge of the legislative provisions, ; compilation of actual implementation case examples, development of standardized methods for screening, ; TRZ development and revenue assessments, and also presents the results of a workshop held to augment the ; understanding of TRZ for highway projects. An additional section of this research explores the implications ; of SB1266 for transit finance and discusses this aspect within the larger context for innovative finance of all ; transit infrastructure both those on the state highway systems and off. Finally, specific recommendations to ; the legal framework are made in the light of specific objectives of the research both for highways and transit ; in regard to the use of increment based finance.
