Value Capture - a fair way to fund transportation

While everyone benefits from a better transportation system, those who own property near the new train station benefit the most. 

Value capture seeks to use part of that windfall as a funding source for the transportation infrastructure.  One approach is a Special Assessment District, where those who own land near the new station pay additional taxes, which in turn pay off the bond that was issued to build the station.
