8 8 What we heard at the workshops  The funding tool was helpful in understanding the needs of the project.  Property taxes have an indirect connection to users of the new facilities and may not be the best tool to pay for the majority of the project. (Marine Drive – OK)  Vehicle registration fee and a gas tax are broadly accepted tools to pay for transportation investments.  Gas tax feels more invisible than other taxes, but may not be a good long term revenue source as efficiency increases and VMT levels out.  How much should residents of West Salem pay ? (Should they take on a larger portion of the cost? Will they be unfairly burdened?)

9 9 What we heard at the workshops  Interest in expanding taxing district beyond Marion and Polk County (e.g., Yamhill County).  Openness to tolling, but concerns over political viability, traffic impacts due to diversion, revenue accuracy/stability, collection costs and fairness to West Salem.  Increasing awareness that no single source of revenue will by itself fund the project.  Evening workshop attendance included a majority who did not support moving forward with this project, or believed the cost was not affordable.
