transit

Backers said it was necessary to help build low-income housing, expand roads and transit, renovate parks and construct other public infrastructure.

I have a theory: Downtown L.A. ranks near the top of a lot of walkability rankings because it’s just expected that a dense urban core that serves as a major transit hub would, by default, be a great place for people to live their best car-free lives.

The public transit system has had a serious makeover and is getting even more upgrades to cover more areas in the future.

The new threshold would apply to local measures impacting low-income housing, road and transit expansions, parks and wildfire resilience.

In Georgia, the penny tax increases are on the ballot in Cobb and Gwinnett counties, which make up Atlanta’s prosperous northern suburbs, and would commit more than $20 billion to bus rapid transit and other transportation infrastructure if approved.
