RTD should be encouraged to consider the inequitability of paying for its 
operations and capital improvements using sales taxes, which are highly 
regressive. Since less than 6 percent of low-income people in the Denver urban 
area rode transit to work in 2019, 94 percent of low-income people are paying 
regressive taxes for transit rides they aren't taking.
