A dedicated regional sales tax is the most common funding
mechanism among metro regions similar to the Twin Cities.

Paul
0.25% of

An analysis of tax rates indicates that
the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region
uses this revenue source at a much
lower rate than the majority of peer
regions. Most of our peer cities have
levied 3 to 4 times the rate applied in
the Twin Cities.
The 0.25% sales tax rate in the Twin
Cities raises nearly $100 million
annually, and is used to fund the
expansion and operation of the metroarea transitways (i.e. light rail, com-
muter rail, bus rapid transit). In order
to continue these programs and
improve the Twin Cities regular and
commuter bus system, additional tax
revenue will be needed.
The Minneapolis-Saint Paul region has
a number of revenue sources for
transit. The largest source is the
statewide motor vehicle sales tax
(MVST), whose extreme volatility is
demonstrated in the transit budget
shortfalls of the past several years.
Transit funding is also provided
through state general fund appropria-
tions, a small amount of regional and
county property taxes, and fares.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Itasca Project has a key goal to advance a comprehensive and aligned
transportation system. As a stakeholder in regional discussions around proposalsfor transit investment, Itascas transportation task force sought to understand whatis the expected economic return on regional transit investments?
Itasca commissioned Cambridge Systematics to assess the expected return fromthe regions proposed transit system. Working with a technical advisory committeeof regional experts, the project team quantified and monetized how the regionaltransit build-out would impact travel times, travel time reliability, vehicle operatingcost, safety, emissions, shippers and logistics costs, and road pavement condition.
Itascas transportation task force posed three questions:
1) A built-out regional transit system would require substantial investment.What would be the return on that investment?
Answer:Between $6.6 and $10.1 billion in total direct benefits, on a$4.4 billion investment (benefits accrued 2030 2045).
2) Investments can be made more or less quickly. Would accelerating the build-out change the return on investment?
Answer: The total direct benefits would increase to between $10.8 16.5 billion, on a $5.3 billion investment (benefits accrued 2023 2045).
3) Many communities with developing transit systems experience more growthnear transit stations. Would such expectations for regional growth changethe return on investment?
Answer: More community growth near transit stations would increase netbenefits by another $2 4 billion (2030 - 2045).
In addition to quantified and monetized impacts, the analysis quantified but did notmonetize other regional impacts, such as regional accessibility to jobs. The analysisfound that a regional transit system would enable local employers to access anadditional 500,000 employees.
Finally, the project team sought the views of human resources and facilitiesexecutives at regional employers, with respect to the role of a built-out transitsystem in accessing and attracting employees.
Together, the results show that investment in a built-out regional transit systemwould create substantial value for the region.

Dear Minnesota State Legislators,
Quality Bicycle Products is the nations largest supplier of bicycle parts andaccessories. Headquartered in Bloomington, MN, and with additional facilities inOdgen, UT and Harrisburg, PA, QBP employs about 700 people. A great majorityof our employees either ride bicycles or depend on a daily multi-modaltransit/bicycle commute to reach our facility.
Because of our commitment to using bicycling and transit, and our ability to utilizethese choices in the south Minneapolis/Bloomington area, weve actually seen a
4.4% decrease in per member per month healthcare costs, during a time whennationally per member per month costs have increased by nearly 25%. In otherwords, our employees are not only saving money due to choices in how theycommute to work, theyre also healthier, which translates into decreasing QBPhealthcare costs.
In the future, we believe those cities who respond to the needs of residents andbusiness owners by providing choices in transportation, and in accommodatingbicycling, walking, and transit will benefit in terms of recruiting the best andbrightest to live and work in their communities.
Therefore, QBP is a strong supporter of HF 1044 and SF 927 and we urge our statelegislators to pass this legislation for the benefit of all Minnesotans.
Sincerely,
Gary SjoquistAdvocacy Director
