Public Policy Position

TRANSPORTATION

The League of Women Voters of Virginia supports regionally balanced transportation systems which efficiently and economically meet regional needs without adversely affecting planned growth of the environment.

The League supports:

  • Regional organizations that set policy for a multi -modal public transportation program, that plan, coordinate, and are the designated recipients of federal and state funds, that operate or contract for services, and that could have taxing power.

  • A mixture of public (federal, state and local) and private funding for public transportation.

  • Increased local participation with some public funds utilized to encourage private support and the use of innovative financing methods, such as tax incentives to encourage private sector participation.

  • The use of a variety of incentives to increase the use of public transportation. (1996)
