Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution opposing ballot initiative 175, saying the measure would reduce state transit funding and impede local transportation goals.
The Carbondale Board of Trustees on May 2 voted to adopt a resolution opposing state ballot initiative 175, which staff warned could reduce transit funding across Colorado.
Town staff said local and regional transit agencies have already adopted similar positions and that the initiative would constrain local budget choices related to transportation. "It will cut funding for transit throughout the state," staff stated during the discussion.
Trustee Chris moved the resolution noting the potential impact on Carbondale's transportation goals and local multimodal work; the motion passed unanimously.
The resolution will be added to the town's record and distributed per the town's communications protocols.
