U.S. citizens will have the opportunity to determine the future of local transportation.
Elections in the United States are rapidly approaching. On November 5, citizens in several of the largest cities in the country will have the opportunity to determine the future of local transportation through their ballots. Among the cities voting are the following:
Columbus, Ohio
In the Columbus area, voters will face a proposal to increase the local sales tax from 7.5% to 8%. The revenue generated, estimated at approximately $480 million annually over 25 years, would be allocated to improve transportation options, including five high-speed bus lines and dedicated transit lanes. Currently, only 0.5% of the tax is dedicated to transportation, and with the approval of this measure, it would double to 1%.
Nashville, Tennessee
In Nashville, voters will consider a $3.1 billion initiative to fund transportation improvements. The proposal includes a half-cent increase in the sales tax, as well as revenue from transit system fares and federal grants. Named “Choose How You Move,” the plan envisions 54 miles of enhanced corridors and a 24/7 transit system. Mayor Freddie O’Connell emphasized the importance of this local funding to access federal funds.
San Diego, California
In San Diego, voters will decide on a one-cent increase in the local sales tax, raising approximately $400 million annually. This increase would fund transit projects and street maintenance, with 62% of the revenue allocated to transportation operations. The campaign in favor of this measure is called “Let’s Go San Diego.”
Seattle, Washington
In Seattle, citizens will vote on renewing a $1.55 billion transportation tax that would replace the “Move Seattle” tax, set to expire at the end of the year. This new levy will focus on infrastructure maintenance, with $403 million earmarked for street improvements and $221 million for bridge repairs. Additionally, safety measures will be implemented, and transit connections will be enhanced.
The decisions made by voters on November 5 will not only impact transportation in these cities but will also reflect their priorities regarding mobility, sustainability, and quality of life. By delving into these initiatives, citizens can pave the way for a more connected and efficient future in their communities.
