TRANSPORT FUNDS * USA - New County Gas Tax Could Fund ECAT Buses
North Escambia,near Pensacola,FL,USA -TheNorthEscambia.com -January 14, 2009: -- The Escambia County Commission is considering a gasoline tax to keep ECAT transit buses on the road, but one commissioner is against the idea because ECAT provides fewer services in North Escambia... The county contributes $7.6 million toward ECAT’s annual budget. A 3 cent gas tax would provide an estimated $3.1 million of that figure, and it would cost the average county citizen $15 per year, according to study the ECAT Citizen Advisory Committee... A large portion of the tax gas burden would fall on people that do not live in Escambia County, according to Commissioner Gene Valentino. He estimated that 40 to 60 percent of the $3.1 million would come from people buying gas as they were passing through Escambia County...Labels: transport funds
