Baton Rouge Area Chamber Releases Public Policy Commentary On CATS Performance And Future Goals

Press release from the Baton Rouge Area Chamber:

October 12, 2021

The commentary compares CATS’ performance against a slate of promises made in 2011, and highlights the priorities and goals the agency will pursue with a renewal of its millage.

Despite a spate of management and oversight challenges early in the current millage cycle, CATS has regained its footing in the past several years and has either achieved the performance goal or substantially closed service gaps identified as part of its 2011 plan.

BRAC notes that CATS currently posts monthly performance measures on some of its goals on its website, and recommends that all metrics in the strategic plan be tracked and published online and aggregated annually for public release.

BRAC will announce its position on the CATS renewal in the coming week.
