Light rail planning and a proposed sales tax extension vote coming in Maricopa County; tax election in Tucson; and other statewide changes challenge a State Legislature with new agendas and priorities. Nationally, TEA 21 has been extended and is being reshaped by Congress. The 2003 AzTA Legislative Conference will examine the outlook for transit at the federal, state, and local level.
