WEEKEND AMERICA :: November 1st, 2008
The Bus Stop: Overview
As the 2008 election approaches, St. Louis public transit advocates are making a last push to convince voters to pass Proposition M. It would increase sales taxes by half a cent - about $55 per family per year - to ease a budget crunch. If it doesn't pass, officials say they'll have to slash service. According to the American Public Transit Association, about a third of the country's transit agencies say they'll need to cut service to balance their budgets. The crisis is especially bad in smaller cities: Eugene, Ore., for example, as well as Milwaukee, Wis., and Providence, R.I. Blueprint America -- with Weekend America on public radio -- correspondent Rick Karr takes travels to St. Louis to visit the people who're likely to suffer the most if transit officials do end up cutting service.
