Major transportation projects do not happen in a vacuum. Public support is needed or they are destined to fail.
Adam Probolsky spoke with Tom Stone of The Transportation Podcast from Traffic Technology International (TTi) about how public opinion research features prominently in the process of getting projects approved. He also talks about behavioral change and toll roads.
Listen in to the episode.
We included Proposition 6 on our latest statewide poll. We conducted this poll and present these results for public interest purposes. We had no client on this measure.
Proposition 6 is on track to fail in November.
Our latest polling shows 48% of voters oppose the measure when presented with the title they will read on their ballots.
Fewer than 60% of Republican voters support the gas tax repeal.
It is important to point out the obvious, that the ballot title does not say, “repeal the gas tax” which is how the opposition is presenting their message. As the voter contact campaign kicks into gear, we expect changes in the numbers.
