Committee backs revised fixed-guideway revenue forecast and proposal to commit transportation share to COG for Wolfpack/Bobcat Way

Jul 13, 2026

Staff reported higher-than-expected fixed-guideway revenue estimates and proposed committing 70% of the transportation portion for the next three years to COG to accelerate the Wolfpack Way/Bobcat Way project, with committee members seeking written earmark conditions.

County staff told the Appropriations Committee that fixed-guideway sales-tax revenue projections changed from earlier estimates and that 2026 revenues will be materially different than originally forecast. Staff cited prior collections of "$1,680,000" in 2025 and described a revised 2026 revenue picture that supports increasing the county's fixed guideway estimate and correcting the intended split between public safety and transportation.
