The future predictions for growth in the Sacramento Region and the land-use changes included in the Blueprint will require improved transit services. As we develop the TMP and all of its various components, one aspect will be critical to our success�Finding the Funding. Increased levels of funding will be needed both to build and to operate the expanded transit system. We have already started reviewing how transit services are provided at the moment, and working on an analysis of how we can pay for our future transit needs. As part of this process, our consultants have put together a series of discussion papers that describe:

• Regional Transit�s planning and funding sources and processes
• A review of Regional Transit�s (known) future funding sources

We have also set up a National Finance Panel with experts from around the country who will help with advice on a complete range of funding sources and mechanisms. We will also be working with our local partners in the Sacramento Region to identify opportunities to combine resources to deliver the TMP.
