This dedicated funding source was established in 1974 and, although sales taxes have risen with the population growth, doesn't provide the funding that we need for expansion today.

Increased headways mean more buses and more operators.
Expansion of light rail service, including Sunday and Holiday service. Expansion of the light rail system, including spurs to West Valley, West Jordan, Draper and possibly even into Davis County. All of this expansion means more union members working in operations, maintenance, parts, rail service, flex-trans, and other areas. This in turn means more regular runs, better shifts for those on the property now, more chance for training and advancement and more job opportunities. Overall, better funding means greater opportunities for improvements in wages, hours and working conditions.
