A. The responsible public entity may take any action to obtain federal, state,
or local assistance for a qualifying transportation facility that serves the

Assembly. The responsible public entity may determine that it serves the public
purpose of this chapter for all or any portion of the costs of a qualifying
transportation facility to be paid, directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of
a grant or loan made by the federal, state, or local government or any agency or
instrumentality thereof.

B. The responsible public entity may agree to make grants or loans for the
development and/or operation of the qualifying transportation facility from
amounts received from the federal, state, or local government or any agency or
instrumentality thereof.

C. Nothing in this chapter or in an interim or comprehensive agreement entered
into pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed to enlarge, diminish, or affect
the authority, if any, otherwise possessed by the responsible public entity to
take action that would impact the debt capacity of the Commonwealth or the
affected localities or public entities.
