Discussion Item: Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (NAIPTA) Annual update presentation

In 2000, the City of Flagstaff voters approved a transportation tax that has four separate components one of which is transit.  The transit portion of the transportation tax was originally approved for 10 years, expiring in 2010 but was renewed in 2008 until 2020.  The transit portion of the transportation tax generates approximately $4.2 in annual revenues.  The tax was approved in five separate areas as follows:

Continue Mountain Line Bus Service - $0.00175
Purchase hybrid buses -                         0.00020
Mountain Link line -                                 0.00020
Expand service area                               0.00040
More frequent service                             0.00040
Total                                                      $0.00295  

This translates into 29.5 cents sales tax for every $100 spent.

NAIPTA is presenting to supply both programmatic and statistical information on service provision.
