News » Fox Cities leaders call for RTA
Mar. 12, 2010
Fox Valley representatives joined leaders from around the state in Madison yesterday, to support regional transit authorities.
Following a rally that called on state lawmakers to let local governments create regional transit authorities, Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna addressed the Assembly transportation committee. He spoke in favor of letting Fox Cities communities combine to create an RTA that would help to fund Valley Transit.
The new entity would have the authority to create a sales tax of up to a half-cent, but Hanna says voters would have to approve it.
Hanna says Valley Transit will likely face a $1 million cut in federal funding following the 2010 census, because the population will exceed a certain limit. He says the RTA could help to offset the loss.
Sen. Mike Ellis of Neenah and Rep. Penny Bernard Schaber of Appleton also spoke in favor of the Fox Cities RTA. |
