I hope that they use the money to buy vehicles fueled by CNG (Compressed natural gas) which is up to 4 times cheaper then Diesel and creates less pollution.

I’m so happy that the Faster Program that causes me to pay higher taxes for registering my vehicle now are going to use those tax dollars to provide new buses for Colorado Springs. Weren’t these funds supposed to go to fixing bad bridges and roads at a quicker pace? I guess all the highways and roads are in great shape? I can’t believe our legislators lied to us once again. Or maybe it’s the public service employees who administer these tax dollars that don’t understand how the funds are supposed to be spent. Now instead of “old” empty buses driving around the Springs, we’ll have new empty buses driving around the Spring and instead of new roads and bridges our elected officials will figure out a new taxing scheme to get more money to give away unnecessarily. Yeah.

It’s nice to see that the additional taxes we were charged for licensing our vehicles that was supposed to go to road and bridge improvement is now being spent to drive empty buses around Colorado Springs. Yeah.
