🚌 Introducing Transit Planning Tuesdays! This month, TARC launches TARC 2025: Moving Forward Together, our initiative to shape Louisville’s transit future with your input. Join us every Tuesday as we explore public transit planning. This week, we're delving into financial constraints. TARC is facing historic financial challenges and a looming deficit. Action must be taken now to ensure the system’s long-term sustainability. Throughout the TARC 2025 project, we will work directly with the community to develop strategies for an updated TARC transit network that will better meet the region’s needs and priorities within the reality of the funding TARC expects to receive over the next 5-10 years. Challenges include: ➡️ Limited local funding: Jefferson County's occupational tax unchanged in 50 years, failing to keep pace with development and paratransit costs. ➡️ Minimal state support compared to peers. ➡️ Nationwide financial strain post-COVID-19: lower ridership, fare revenues, and competitive wage pressures. ➡️ End of federal emergency transit funding. Together, let's shape sustainable public transportation in Louisville. Learn more about TARC 2025 at www.ridetarc.org/tarc2025/

This month, TARC formally launches TARC 2025, a planning process and community conversation to determine what TARC will look like in the coming years. TARC 2025 is a network redesign project that will solicit direct input from the community to create an updated TARC transit network that can better meet the community’s goals and priorities—within the reality of the funding that TARC can expect over the next 5 to 10 years. This effort is one of the core TARC approaches to proactively address its looming fiscal cliff and maintain a reliable and effective regional transit system. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eik6YSEe
