| TID as a state and national model | ||||
| Limited state and federal funding mandated the search for alternatives for building
and improving roads. In response to increasing demands for such alternatives,
the Transportation Improvement District Program was authorized by the Ohio
General Assembly in June 1993 from legislation sponsored by former State
Rep. Mike Fox. Butler County's TID was formed by the Butler County Commissioners
in January of the following year.
Originally established as a demonstration project to test the TID concept, our TID was the first in Ohio. It exceeded expectations, and state law was changed in 1995 to allow all counties in Ohio to establish their own TIDs. As a pioneer in this better approach to road building, the Butler County TID is also a national model. We were the first organization in the United States to receive funds from Ohio's State Infrastructure Bank (SIB). The newly created SIB system, now in place across the county, provides loans for local transportation projects. | What's a TID? | |||
