SUMMARY:Traffic Relief Zoom Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our Local Transportation System is failing.\n\nIts performance\, resiliency and reliability no longer meet the needs of Kootenai County.\n\n \nGuest speaker\, Glenn Miles\, Executive Director\, Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization (KMPO)\, will discuss how the Local Option Vehicle Registration Fee came about and why it is on this year's ballot.\n\nYou must register to receive Zoom link. You will be emailed link prior to the meeting.\n\n\n\nThe last major investment in Kootenai County roadways took place in the early 1970s. Since then\, population growth in the County has increased by 340%!! We are driving on and relying on an outdated legacy transportation system of 800+ miles.\nSolution: VOTE YES for Traffic Relief on the November Ballot\nThe Local Option Vehicle Registration Fee Question will be on the November ballot. It proposes an annual $50 fee for vehicles under 8\,000 lbs. and $25 for motorcycles for the next 20 years.\n\nThe New Fee Will Provide over $200 Million\n\nfor LOCAL Transportation Upgrades\nBased on 2019 vehicle data\, the annual revenue from the $50 registration fee would be approximately $7.3 million. Assuming a 2% annual increase between 2021 and 2041\, that amount rises to approximately $11.4 million annually. This money will provide over $200 million toward implementing 12 specifically designated local transportation projects.\n\n98.5% of the Local Option Vehicle Registration Fees\n\nWill Stay in Kootenai County\n\nWe Need to Take Action Now. The Future is Already Here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEndorsed By: The Coeur d'Alene Regional Chamber of Commerce\, Post Falls Chamber of Commerce\, Parkwood Business Properties\, North Idaho Building & Contractors Association\,\n\nThe Coeur d'Alene Area Economic Development Corp./Jobs Plus\,\n\nThe Coeur d'Alene Association of REALTORS\, Young Construction Group.
