Funding Breakdown
Financial projections indicate that using current sales tax funding would be feasible to fund an additional $100 million in transportation needs over 5 years. LYNX will use $45 million or 45% for enhanced operational frequency and bus shelters. The LYNX enhanced operational costs will be cash funded using sales tax.
LYNX has the opportunity to leverage local funds with state, federal and other sources to help fund some of the investments on the capital side.
