Tax Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRAN) Program

Will your district need a TRAN? 

  • Per the State Treasurer’s Office, districts are “expected to receive only about 70% of their State apportionment payments for 2020-21 with deferrals starting in February 2021 and continuing through June 2021. The apportionment deferrals are expected to continue for 2021-22.”
  • Districts without significant cash reserves will likely need to look at issuing a TRAN.

The League’s Pooled TRAN
The League has assembled a team of experts from Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, and Morgan Stanley with over 70 years of combined experience working with California Community Colleges to meet their financing needs.
