Transit Bill passes House Finance Committee

The North Carolina House Finance Committee voted to approve the the Congestion Relief/Intermodal Transport Fund bill (HB 148) by a vote of 19-6. The bill now goes to the full House of Representatives for debate and a vote. This will probably occur on Tuesday, April 21.

This bill will allow certain counties to adopt a 1/2 cent sales tax to support mass transit.
