(1) A governmental unit, for the
purpose of aiding and cooperating in the financing, construction, operation, or
maintenance of any regional transportation system, has the power:

(a) To sell, lease, loan, donate, grant, convey, assign, transfer, and otherwise
dispose to the authority any real or personal property or interests therein;

(b) To enter into agreements with any person for the joint financing,
construction, operation, or maintenance of any regional transportation system.
Upon compliance with applicable constitutional or charter limitations, the
governmental unit may agree to make payments, without limitation as to amount
except as set forth in the agreement, from revenues received from one or more
fiscal years, to the authority or any person to defray the costs of the financing,
construction, operation, or maintenance of a regional transportation system.

(c) To transfer or assign to the authority any contracts that may have been
awarded by the governmental unit for construction, operation, or maintenance of
any regional transportation system.

(2) To assist in the financing, construction, operation, or maintenance of a
regional transportation system, any county, municipality, or special district that is a
member of a combination or of a transportation planning organization exercising
the powers of an authority as authorized by section 43-4-622 may, by contract,
pledge to the authority all or a portion of the revenues it receives from the highway
users tax fund or from any other legally available funds. The authority shall apply
revenues that it receives pursuant to the pledge to the financing, construction,
operation, or maintenance of any regional transportation system. The authority may
refuse to accept any revenues that would cause a member of the combination or of
the transportation planning organization to exceed its allowable fiscal year
spending under section 20 of article X of the state constitution and that could
result in a refund of excess revenues under said section 20.
