Some of those constituents take public transit, and they have been asking when they can see permanent gas tax funding, not the existing ten cents, of which five cents goes to the municipality. We've always been asking for an extra cent, but it used to be that one or two cents was designated, not per capita but by transit ridership. That actually generates far more stable funding for public transit, and it is now gone, which is unfortunate.
