12 created to read:
13 339.284 Transportation concurrency incentives.--The
14 Legislature finds that allowing private-sector entities to
15 finance, construct, and improve public transportation
16 facilities can provide significant benefits to the citizens of
17 this state by facilitating transportation of the general
18 public without the need for additional public tax revenues. In
19 order to encourage the more efficient and proactive provision
20 of transportation improvements by the private sector, if a
21 developer or property owner voluntarily contributes
22 right-of-way and physically constructs or expands a state
23 transportation facility or segment and such construction or
24 expansion improves traffic flow, capacity, or safety, the
25 voluntary contribution may be applied as a credit for that
26 property owner or developer against any future transportation
27 concurrency requirements pursuant to chapter 163, provided
28 such contributions and credits are set forth in a legally
29 binding agreement executed by the property owner or developer,
30 the local government within whose jurisdiction the facility is
31 located, and the department. If the developer or property

1 owner voluntarily contributes right-of-way and physically
2 constructs or expands a local government transportation
3 facility or segment and such construction or expansion meets

7 government collector and arterial system may be applied as a
8 credit against any future transportation concurrency
