INFORMATION:
The City's outreach is focused entirely on education and does not advocate a position on the propositions. The City is working closely with the Northern Arizona Intergovernmental Public Transportation Authority (NAIPTA) to combine our educational outreach efforts as much as possible. This joint coordination is an effective strategy which will enhance and streamline presentations and outreach.
