BikeAthens submitted a letter to the Mayor and Commission in support of bike/ped/transit projects within the latest TSPLOST list for our region. We'll also do that for the local county list coming next. Here's the TSPLOST timeline from a recent AJC article:
"A regional sales tax for transportation is expected to raise $7.2 billion over 10 years. Of that, $1 billion goes back to the counties and cities where it was raised for local transportation projects of their choosing. The regional roundtable is choosing projects of regional significance for the other $6.1 billion.
By Aug. 15: According to the state law that set up the transportation referendum, the five-member committee of local elected officials who are working on the draft must vote to approve a complete $6.1 billion draft list of transit, road and pedestrian projects. This group is the roundtable’s executive committee.
By Oct. 15: The regional roundtable of 21 local elected officials will approve the final project list for the referendum.
July 31, 2012, unless rescheduled by the Legislature: People in the 10-county region will vote on the project list and a 1 percent sales tax"
