Open Houses to Discuss Impacts of C-TRAN’s Proposition 1

For immediate release: September 21, 2004

Vancouver, WA: C-TRAN is hosting a series of public open houses to discuss the facts related to C-TRAN’s Proposition 1 on the November 2, 2004, ballot. From September 25 through October 23, 2004, the open houses will be the public’s chance to meet C-TRAN staff and discuss the impacts of the ballot measure. “It’s important that we provide the public with as much factual information as possible so they’re able to make an informed decision about their public transportation system this November,” said Lynne Griffith, Executive Director/CEO for C-TRAN.
The proposition asks for a sales tax increase of three tenths of one percent, or three pennies on every $10 purchase. The increase would maintain current levels of public transit service as well as connect communities within Clark County with innovative service. If rejected, C-TRAN will need to reduce service in order to achieve a balanced budget by January 2006.
