3 | Transportation Proposal: Investment in Infrastructure is Critical
The Charlotte region is growing rapidly, with an estimated 157 new residents moving into the region every day. To stay ahead of other metro areas and maintain a high quality of life, investment in modern, efficient transportation infrastructure is critical. The proposed 1% sales tax over 30 years will generate transformative funding for roads, rail, and bus systems. This will allow our community to thrive in a competitive business environment. The funding share is: Roads – 40%
$138 million in the first year
$7.8 billion over 30 years
Rail – 40%
$138 million in the first year
$7.8 billion over 30 years
Bus & Micro transit – 20%
$69 million in the first year
$3.8 billion over 30 years
The transportation proposal brings powerful benefits that help create real opportunities in our community. Some include: greater access to jobs, stronger economic growth, and a better overall quality of life. This is important to NC REALTORS® PAC because transportation improvements directly affect the local real estate market. By supporting candidates who advocate for these initiatives, RPAC aligns with the interests of REALTORS® and property owners.
