It highlights a net position of $79,753,145, with total assets exceeding liabilities, although it also notes a negative unrestricted net position of $42,269,010 due to long-term obligations. The Authority's operating revenues decreased significantly by 58% due to fare-free events, while operating expenses increased by 4%. The report outlines various capital projects, including the expansion of facilities and the installation of a solar array, and emphasizes the Authority's commitment to safety and cleanliness through enhanced protocols and new vehicle acquisitions.

Additionally, the bill introduces new legal language regarding the recognition of deferred outflows and inflows related to Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) and incorporates updates to the schedules of changes in net pension liabilities. Notable changes include an increase in the discount rate for the OPEB plan from 4.21% to 4.81% effective June 30, 2025, and the cessation of prescription drug coverage for retirees enrolled in Medicare starting August 1, 2026. The bill also specifies that proceeds from asset dispositions must either be refunded to the grantor agency or used for acquiring new capital items, ensuring transparency and accountability in the Authority's financial management.
