Official Position

We support a dedicated transit fund sourced from a 0.5% transportation sales tax, with priority given to underserved communities lacking current transit access.

Rationale

Dedicated funding provides stability for long-term planning. Prioritizing underserved areas addresses equity concerns and provides the greatest marginal benefit for transit investment.
