🚨 Charlotte, the time is NOW. 🚊 A new bill has been introduced that would give us the power to vote on a 1% sales tax increase to fund transit—our shot at better connectivity, less congestion, and supporting our region that has been experiencing major growth. But first, we need to get it through the General Assembly. With this funding, we can advance the Red & Silver Lines, expand the Gold Line, complete our Better Bus initiatives, and finally bring bus rapid transit to Charlotte. A stronger transit network means more access, opportunities, and solidifies a connected future for our region. We can’t afford delays. https://lnkd.in/emiGmxTu
