Pikes Peak
Rural Transportation Authority was formed when voters
in Colorado Springs, Manitou Springs, Green Mountain Falls
and El Paso County approved a one percent sales tax in November
of 2004 to address infrastructure and transit needs in the
region. The tax revenue is divided into three categories:
55% capital improvements, 35% maintenance, and 10% transit.
