The East Baton Rouge Parish transit system is facing a crisis, with a $2.1 million deficit in 2012 and the risk of shutting down. A Blue Ribbon Commission proposed comprehensive reforms, including a dedicated funding source, and an election will be held on April 21st to decide this issue. Currently, traffic congestion in Baton Rouge is much worse than average cities due to the outdated transit system, but dedicated funding could help modernize routes and reduce congestion like other cities have done.
The East Baton Rouge Parish transit system faces a funding crisis, with a projected $2.1 million deficit in 2012 that could force it to shut down. A Blue Ribbon Commission proposed comprehensive transit reform to address this, including dedicated funding, improved service, and governance changes. If voters approve the tax on April 21, it would provide $18.4 million annually for expanded routes, decreased wait times, new transfer centers, and improved accessibility including for paratransit services. Baker and Zachary would see new express routes and connectivity if the reform passes.

This document summarizes a web design interview. The interviewee is a senior designer whose responsibilities include creating web layouts, graphics, logos, and print materials as well as front-end development using CSS, HTML, PHP, and JavaScript. Current trends in the industry include responsive design and incorporating social media. The interviewee recommends gaining experience through internships and developing a passion for design to succeed in this field.
The document provides an analogy comparing the structure of a human body to the structure of web pages. It states that HTML provides the skeleton-like structure and tags that act as placeholders for content, similar to how a human body has an internal structure and organs. CSS is then compared to makeup, allowing adjustments to attributes like color, height, and size. Finally, JavaScript is likened to the human nervous system, enabling actions, reactions, and computations on web pages just as the nervous system facilitates activities in the human body.
This document discusses how urban areas that encourage alternatives to driving by having compact, mixed-use development and diverse transportation options see residents drive fewer miles per day and spend less on transportation. It analyzes data showing metropolitan areas with lower vehicle miles traveled per person tend to have households that spend a smaller percentage of their income on transportation. Estimates are given for the potential cost savings or "green dividend" three cities could see from modest reductions in driving.

The document outlines the mandate and work plan of the East Baton Rouge Parish Food Access Policy Commission. The commission was launched on February 14, 2013 at Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Church. Its mandate is to examine the causes of food deserts in the parish, determine best practices for attracting food retailers, and develop policy recommendations. The commission has 16 members representing various organizations. It will analyze the problem of low food access over three phases from February to August 2013, focusing on causes, best practices, and developing solutions tailored to East Baton Rouge Parish.

The document summarizes information from a presentation on Louisiana's state budget challenges. It notes that Louisiana has high rates of poverty and low incomes compared to other states. The state relies heavily on one-time budget fixes and has underfunded education and health care as a result of budget cuts. The budget has a structural deficit because revenues have not kept up with needs, and the tax system is overly reliant on sales taxes and contains many exemptions that reduce revenues. Reform of tax exemptions and a more balanced revenue approach are needed to address the budget problems.

The East Baton Rouge Parish transit system is facing a crisis, with a $2.1 million deficit in 2012 and the risk of shutting down. A Blue Ribbon Commission proposed comprehensive reforms, including a dedicated funding source, which will be voted on in an April 21st election. Compared to other cities, Baton Rouge's per capita funding for transit is very low, and it relies heavily on rider fares instead of other funding sources used elsewhere. A dedicated property tax of 10.6 mills is proposed, which would cost the average homeowner $14-16 per month depending on the municipality.
