Austin City Council and the Mayor telling you that they’re getting the federal government to foot 45% of the bill sounds like that shady uncle trying to sell you vitamins
NO ON PROP A.
@TransitForATX ATX spends nearly 2x per capita than any other city in Texas. What do we have to show for it? We have the worst homelessness situation, the highest cost of living, all while having the lowest population density out of the major Texas cities. Let’s not give more money to waste.
@TransitForATX Here’s why Project Connect deserves a NO vote on Prop A:
-will take DECADES to build
-25% PERMANENT city tax hike (this is only the down payment)!!
-will increase gentrification
-will raise cost of living for everyone
-maintenance and ops not included in this initial hike!
@CapMetroATX Here are the facts:
-it will take DECADES to build
-25% PERMANENT city tax hike (this is only the down payment)!!
-will increase gentrification
-will raise cost of living for everyone
-maintenance and ops not included in this initial hike!
@CapMetroATX@lwvATX Project Connect:
-will take DECADES to build
-25% PERMANENT city tax hike (this is only the down payment)!!
-will increase gentrification
-will raise cost of living for everyone
-maintenance and ops not included in this initial hike!
Don’t believe the lies on affordability. Displacing poorer families is wrong. Voting for tax increase during a pandemic and economic crisis that will raise rents is wrong.
Think about the mom-and-pops that have had to shut down, are we going to spend $7.1B making real estate developers and CapMetro's cronies rich when so many have been affected by the shutdowns and a flailing economy?
If you're still heading to the polls, and you're undecided on Prop A,
I ask that you consider your fellow neighbor who lost her job during COVID who now struggles to support her family and can barely make rent.
Are you going to vote for higher rents when so many are struggling?
@JSM_ATX Not anywhere close! The pro-Prop A campaigns have a substantially bigger warchest, backed by CapMetro's cronies, and CapMetro isn't hesitating to promote Project Connect with their millions under the guise of "education."
crazy how our city spends nearly twice per capita than any other city in texas, we have the worst homelessness situation, the highest cost of living, and some people still wanna give our elected officials more

Get the facts on #ProjectConnect. On the ballot as Prop A, Project Connect is a transit plan designed to provide more transportation choices for the Austin area.
