Map of the Month: Transpo on the Ballot

To gear up for Election Day, the NYU Rudin Center looked at transportation ballot measures throughout the United States. We created this handy map to help you explore initiatives across the nation (click on highlighted areas for details). Below the map: our first in a series of Ballot Highlights featuring the Kansas City Streetcar Initiative.

Ballot Highlight: Kansas City Streetcar
This November, voters in Kansas City will decide whether to approve an increase in sales taxes to support the expansion, maintenance and operation of a citywide light rail transit system. Currently, the Kansas City Streetcar's Operating Budget is supported by a sales tax, a special assessment on real estate and a supplemental assessment on surface pay parking lots within the Downtown Streetcar Transportation Development District.
