Planners and leaders ready to sell Rail North Texas to voters
By GORDON DICKSON IRVING — After years of disagreement, North Texas planners, lawmakers and major employers are growing optimistic that they can find a way to pay for a 250-mile commuter rail system.On Friday, they took a step toward introducing the idea to voters."The only way we’re going to get the authority we need is when the citizens stand up and say, 'We want rail,’ " Fort Worth City Councilman Jungus Jordan, chairman of a transit subcommittee, told about 300 people at a Rail North Texas meeting in Irving.Officials from cities, counties and transit agencies spent about an hour explaining the need for rail, as well as the work done in the past six months with Texas Instruments and other powerful companies that had opposed the plan.In a nod to those businesses, planners have abandoned a proposal to raise the state’s 8.25 percent sales-tax cap and are instead proposing that Metroplex counties be given a "menu" of taxes and fees to choose from — possibly including vehicle registration fees more than double today’s rate.That menu would first have to pass muster with lawmakers, who have previously rejected the idea but now seem willing to compromise."This is a much better approach, giving us a chance to look at the alternatives and see the impact on taxpayers," said state Rep. Linda Harper-Brown, R-Irving. "But it’s always the details. If you’re talking about a $100 increase in the vehicle registration fee, forget it. But $5 to $10? Maybe. We’ll see."If Harper-Brown and her colleagues can be persuaded during the 2009 legislative session to allow a local-option referendum, voters would be asked to approve increases in taxes and/or fees in their county, for county-specific transportation improvements.In Tarrant County, the emphasis would be on commuter rail, but other counties would have the option of using some funds on roads.But it could be a hard sell, particularly in areas that don’t stand to benefit immediately. R.G. Smith of Keller told the committee that higher registration fees would be "sticking something down the working people’s throat."Others argued that technological improvements to cars might improve the region’s air pollution, making commuter rail unnecessary."It’s likely that by 2011 we’re going to see a lot of electric automobiles on the road," said Dave McElwee, president of the Tarrant Alliance for Responsible Government. "Ridership will go down."But Michael Morris, transportation director for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, said 3 million new residents will move to the region by 2030, bringing the population to 9.5 million.Dallas Area Rapid Transit trains are already at capacity, he said, and voters in Grapevine and Denton County recently approved transportation tax increases."This isn’t 1983 anymore, when there was doubt whether anyone would take rail," Morris said. "At some point, people start voting with their feet." Rail North Texas Learn more about the Rail North Texas plan at www.nctcog.org/rnt.
