摘要

当选民被要求向自己征税以增加公共交通的资金时，大多数情况下答案是肯定的。根据交通卓越中心(CFTE)编制的统计数据，每十次公交公投中通常有七次通过。但这个数字被密歇根州佩里等地大量例行的交通税更新投票夸大了。当投票的是高调、高金额、高风险的交通投资时，成功就不那么确定了。2018年，纳什维尔发生了一场最引人注目、赌注最高的竞选活动。

Technology Won’t Kill the Bus—Unless We Let It

When voters are asked to tax themselves to increase funding for public transit, most of the time the answer is yes. According to statistics compiled by the Center for Transportation Excellence (CFTE), transit referenda generally pass seven out of every ten times. But this number is inflated by a large number of routine transit tax renewal votes in places such as Perry, Michigan. When the vote is for high-profile, high-dollar, high-stakes transit investments, success is less assured. In 2018, one of the highest-profile, highest-stakes campaigns took place in Nashville.
