This project involves the potential extension and increase of the 0.2% sales tax that funds Lawrence Transit's operations. The sales tax is critical for maintaining current transit services and funding the city's downtown bus station project. The city plans to put a ballot question for a sales tax increase to 0.3% in November 2026, with a possible second chance in 2027 if the first attempt fails.

Description
Description | This project involves the potential extension and increase of the 0.2% sales tax that funds Lawrence Transit's operations. The sales tax is critical for maintaining current transit services and funding the city's downtown bus station project. The city plans to put a ballot question for a sales tax increase to 0.3% in November 2026, with a possible second chance in 2027 if the first attempt fails. The increase aims to build up savings to prepare for future years when expenses are expected to outpace revenues due to inflation and reduced federal funding. |
