Description
Description | Spokane Transit Authority (STA) is considering a two-tenths of 1% sales tax renewal to fund its operations and a major Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project launching in 2030. The tax renewal would generate about $30 million annually, part of STA's $162.7 million operating revenue. The decision on whether to place the tax renewal on the August or November 2026 ballot has been deferred to April 29, 2026, with a May 1 deadline for filing the proposal. The timing is critical due to competition with another regional tax proposal for a new jail and crisis response centers. |
