Show Notes
Pima County voters have approved RTA Next, a 20-year, $2.67 billion transportation plan, with strong support across the board. Proposition 418, the plan, received over 60% approval, while Proposition 419, the funding source, got nearly 58% support. This means approximately $1.5 billion for roadways and $726 million for transit over the next two decades. The measures passed in all Tucson wards and surrounding towns, with higher turnout in some areas and lower in others. Older voters and those from wealthier neighborhoods drove the vote, with campaign cash playing a significant role in the approval process. The new tax will take effect April 1, 2023, paving the way for real road upgrades.
