How about using any bike purchase tax to fund a employees for the Fairfax County bike program? We’ve fought to not have budget cuts include bike programs/employees so here is a way to pay for itself. Co Springs raised 125k so if you do the math…..Fairfax could raise 250k. That would fund two people and ongoing could purchase bike counters etc. I don’t think it should be used to build infrastructure….let the other taxes pay for that just like roads/sidewalks/trails etc. It’s far easier to keep funds if you can show sustainability and the source of funds is constant etc…. Think dog license…..do those funds support dog catcher and the animal shelter?
