        C. No locality imposing the tax pursuant to this section shall cease to impose such tax so long as the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (i) is engaged in a transportation project within the boundaries of the locality, (ii) has entered into a binding commitment to begin a transportation project within the boundaries of the locality, or (iii) has issued bonds or incurred other evidence of debt that has not been satisfied or paid in full and that relates to a transportation project undertaken by the Authority within the boundaries of the locality.
