7 Morgan County Transportation Survey Spring 2011 (118 responses) Other counties in the region, like Davis County and Weber County, use a small percentage of sales tax to fund public transportation. Typically, a community starts at a one-quarter cent tax (0.25%), which would equate to $0.25 on a $100 purchase. Would you support a sales tax increase, such as the one described, to fund public transportation in Morgan County?
