Why don't we spend the money on something else?
If Austin doesn't get this federal money, it will be used to build light rail systems in other cities. Austin's light rail system will require no new taxes, either. Capital Metro will pay for its share of the system from the existing one-cent sales tax it already collects. Capital Metro also is committed to spending more than $100 million dollars of its tax receipts for enhanced and express bus service, road improvements, carpool/HOV lanes, and incident (wreck) management on area highways. Need more information? Take a look at the issues and the facts about light rail.    Light Rail Now! presented a dramatic display of one key benefit of light rail... the ability to move large numbers of people quickly in a small amount of space. in reality, light rail could carry even more than the photos represent--up to 420 passengers on a three-car train. |
