Supporting Propositions 418 and 419 is an easy choice. Our roads need improvements, and these measures are an investment in our community’s future.
The first RTA was one of the most successful things our region has ever done. By taking a regional approach to transportation, we saw real results. Just look at downtown Tucson, and our Sun Link streetcar. Since it launched, the streetcar corridor has attracted billions in private investment, boosted local businesses, increased property value and given people more ways to get around.
That kind of success doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we plan ahead and invest wisely.
If these measures don’t pass, roads will continue to deteriorate, and important projects will be delayed for years.
The good news is this isn’t an additional tax increase. We’ll keep paying what we already pay, with a clear plan for how the money is used.
