The document discusses the formation of a coalition to advocate for improved public transit in Baton Rouge. It summarizes the coalition's recommendations, which include establishing a dedicated funding source through a 10-year, 10.6 mill property tax that would generate $18 million annually. The tax would be used to overhaul the bus system, expanding routes, increasing frequency, and building transit hubs. Improved transit is presented as key to addressing traffic congestion and access to opportunities. Charts show Baton Rouge lags peer cities in per capita transit funding and relies more heavily on fares.
