Washington, D.C. (November 9, 2023) – Voters around the country on Tuesday approved 4 out of 5 state and local measures supporting public transportation on the ballot, continuing a strong record of success.

Similar to other off-year elections, this year saw a small number of measures on the ballot, but a continued high level of approval from voters eager to express their support for more transit. This continues a years-long trend: over 85% of ballot measures to fund public transit have passed in the last 5 years.
