Capital Metro is in the early stages of planning its FY 2011 budget and wants the public’s feedback on how it should spend agency money (including your tax dollars, the 1% sales tax it collects from businesses within the Cap Met service area). It will do so at a series of workshops in early June; press release from the agency follows:

What are your transportation priorities? Capital Metro wants to know. As we develop the budget for the 2011 fiscal year, we invite you to participate in one of our interactive workshop-style meetings. We want to hear your thoughts and ideas on how Capital Metro moves forward.
