This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission Revenue Bond Act.

The Legislature finds that alternative methods of financing provided in this chapter are needed to finance the cost of acquiring, constructing, and developing facilities for transit systems in the County of Los Angeles and that these methods will increase economic opportunities, contribute to economic development, be in the public interest and serve a public purpose, and promote the health, safety, and welfare of citizens within the County of Los Angeles.
