Comments:

The City of Boca Raton's funding agreement with SFRTA recently ended. Under this agreement, SFRTA helped pay for the shuttle service. Developer contributions pay for a portion of operations.

The City is currently studying potential mechanisms for funding its shuttle system, including updating and expanding its developer contribution fee policies with a taxing district to make sure that all developments in the fee area financially contribute to the shuttle service.
