5 POLICY BRIEF Most Regions use Sales Tax to Support Transit A dedicated regional sales tax is the most common funding mechanism among metro regions similar to the Twin Cities. Metro Region San Francisco Sales Tax Dedicated to Transit 1.05% of 8.5% Atlanta 1% of 8% Transit for Livable Communities A non-profit organization, TLC works to transform Minnesota s transportation system to strengthen community, improve health and opportunity for all people, foster a sound economy, and protect our natural resources. 626 Selby Avenue Saint Paul, MN An analysis of tax rates indicates that the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region uses this revenue source at a much lower rate than the majority of peer regions. Most of our peer cities have levied 3 to 4 times the rate applied in the Twin Cities. The 0.25% sales tax rate in the Twin Cities raises nearly $100 million annually, and is used to fund the expansion and operation of the metro area transitways (i.e. light rail, commuter rail, bus rapid transit). In order to continue these programs and improve the Twin Cities regular and commuter bus system, additional tax revenue will be needed. Boston 1% of 6.25% Cleveland 1% of 7.75% Dallas 1% of 8.25% Denver 1% of 7.62% Houston 1% of 8.25% Seattle 0.9% of 9.5% San Jose 0.875% of 8.375% tlc@tlcminnesota.org Oct 26, 2012 The Minneapolis-Saint Paul region has a number of revenue sources for transit. The largest source is the statewide motor vehicle sales tax (MVST), whose extreme volatility is demonstrated in the transit budget shortfalls of the past several years. Transit funding is also provided through state general fund appropriations, a small amount of regional and county property taxes, and fares. Saint Louis Salt Lake City Phoenix San Diego Mpls - Saint Paul 0.75% of 8.491% % of 6.85% 0.566% of 9.3% 0.42% of 7.75% 0.25% of 7.75% For Sources, see reverse

9 Regional Transit System Return on Investment Assessment November 30, 2012
10 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Itasca Project has a key goal to advance a comprehensive and aligned transportation system. As a stakeholder in regional discussions around proposals for transit investment, Itasca s transportation task force sought to understand what is the expected economic return on regional transit investments? Itasca commissioned Cambridge Systematics to assess the expected return from the region s proposed transit system. Working with a technical advisory committee of regional experts, the project team quantified and monetized how the regional transit build-out would impact travel times, travel time reliability, vehicle operating cost, safety, emissions, shippers and logistics costs, and road pavement condition. Itasca s transportation task force posed three questions: 1) A built-out regional transit system would require substantial investment. What would be the return on that investment? Answer: Between $6.6 and $10.1 billion in direct benefits, on a $4.4 billion investment (benefits accrued ). 2) Investments can be made more or less quickly. Would accelerating the buildout change the return on investment? Answer: The direct benefits would increase to between $ billion, on a $5.3 billion investment (benefits accrued ). 3) Many communities with developing transit systems experience more growth near transit stations. Would such expectations for regional growth change the return on investment? Answer: More community growth near transit stations would increase net benefits by another $2 4 billion ( ). In addition to quantified and monetized impacts, the analysis quantified but did not monetize other regional impacts, such as regional accessibility to jobs. The analysis found that a regional transit system would enable local employers to access an additional 500,000 employees. Finally, the project team sought the views of human resources and facilities executives at regional employers, with respect to the role of a built-out transit system in accessing and attracting employees. Together, the results show that investment in a built-out regional transit system would create substantial value for the region.

13 3/19/13 Dear Minnesota State Legislators, Quality Bicycle Products is the nation s largest supplier of bicycle parts and accessories. Headquartered in Bloomington, MN, and with additional facilities in Odgen, UT and Harrisburg, PA, QBP employs about 700 people. A great majority of our employees either ride bicycles or depend on a daily multi-modal transit/bicycle commute to reach our facility. Because of our commitment to using bicycling and transit, and our ability to utilize these choices in the south Minneapolis/Bloomington area, we ve actually seen a 4.4% decrease in per member per month healthcare costs, during a time when nationally per member per month costs have increased by nearly 25%. In other words, our employees are not only saving money due to choices in how they commute to work, they re also healthier, which translates into decreasing QBP healthcare costs. In the future, we believe those cities who respond to the needs of residents and business owners by providing choices in transportation, and in accommodating bicycling, walking, and transit will benefit in terms of recruiting the best and brightest to live and work in their communities. Therefore, QBP is a strong supporter of HF 1044 and SF 927 and we urge our state legislators to pass this legislation for the benefit of all Minnesotans. Sincerely, Gary Sjoquist Advocacy Director p f West 105th Street Bloomington, MN
