During the month of January, three meetings dubbed “Civic Academies on Transit Reform” were held by Together Baton Rouge. An interfaith community group, with member organizations and churches representing 60,000 people, held three public meetings before deciding whether to endorse the bus system’s reform proposal, which includes a property tax. These three meetings took place Thursday, Jan. 19 at Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church, 9700 Scenic Highway; Tuesday, Jan. 24 at St. Paul Catholic Church, 3912 Gus Young Avenue; and Thursday, Jan. 26 at Shiloh Baptist Church, 185 Eddie Robinson Sr. Drive. Following the three meetings, delegate members of Together Baton Rouge voted on whether to endorse Capital Area Transit System’s reform plan, which includes a 10-year, 10.6-mill tax proposal for residents of Baton Rouge, Baker and Zachary. The tax is slated to be placed on the April 21 ballot. The Together Baton Rouge series of Civic Academies on Transit Reform was an incredible success. More than 700 people attended the civic academies events. If you want to host a transit civic academy at your organization or congregation.
