St. Louis County voters passed Proposition A, a half-cent sales tax (equaling approximately $80 million per year) to fund the operation and expansion of mass transit (bus, light rail, para transit) in the county. Sierra Club ran a vigorous campaign to educate and mobilize our 2,600 St. Louis County members. The campaign included phone calls and mail distribution to members persuading them to vote for Proposition A, web advertising, press releases, group meetings, and participation in regular Transit Alliance meetings.
