Sales Tax Revenue



Capital Metro Sales Tax Revenue
1990 vs 1996

Analysis by Stephen Bayer, former Cap Metro Board Chair

Cap Metro has radically increased its sales tax revenue
since the "free fare" days to pay for a slightly declining ridership.


  1990 1996
  Transit Boardings 21.9 21.2
  Sales Tax Revenue 38.6 82.8


Values are in millions.
Total boardings exclude UT Shuttle and AISD school bus ridership.
