Please rank how strongly you agree or disagree with the following statements about transit in Morgan County.
Morgan County Transportation Survey Spring 2011 (118 responses)
Other counties in the region, like Davis County and Weber County, use a small percentage of sales tax to fund public transportation. Typically, a community starts at a one-quarter cent tax (0.25%), which would equate to $0.25 on a $100 purchase. Would you support a sales tax increase, such as the one described, to fund public transportation in Morgan County?
