| 摘要： | This publication is a follow-up study to MTI publication 00-01, Why Campaigns for Local Transportation Funding Initiatives Success or Fail: An Analysis of Four Communities and National Data. The earlier publication was case studies of four local ballot tax measures for transportation packages. The current study, Factors Influencing Voting Results of Local Transportation Funding Initiatives with a Substantial Rail Transit Component: Case Studies of Ballot Measures in Eleven Communities, uses the same case study methodology as the prior study, and is expanded to 11 communities from the past four years. Some of the important conclusions identified by the study are as follows: (1) The combination of an energetic and credible opposition and a questionable reputation of the transit agency or transit system make it extremely difficult for a ballot measure to be successful; (2) When a community has no prior rail transit system, a comprehensive rail-only package is unlikely to be successful; (3) Without $1 million or more to spend on a combination of direct mail and television advertising it is difficult for proponents to be successful; (4) Developing a consensus transportation package depends on the specific details of the package and it is very difficult to generalize about the needed detail; and (5) Under certain circumstances, voters do not appear to place significant importance on the existence or length of the expiration data of the tax used to fund the transportation package. |
