A scheduled adjustment has passed since this rate took effect

This fee escalates annually. The rate on file is effective 1 Jul 2025, and at least one adjustment has fallen due since. The current amount is probably different, and for an indexed fee almost certainly higher. The next change after that is expected 1 Jan 2027.

The figure is published as held rather than projected forward, because a number computed from an index is not a number quoted from an adopted schedule. It is flagged so you can check the agency's current schedule before relying on it.

The record

Why it exists

“The purpose of the transit fee component of the Capital Facilities Fee Program is to fund the transit facility improvements and vehicle acquisition necessary to serve new residential and nonresidential development in the City. New development in the City will increase transit ridership and therefore, the need for additional transit facilities and vehicles.”
