San Diego County Road Repair, Transit,

Traffic Relief, Safety and Water Quality Measure



In November, voters countywide will be asked whether they support a ballot measure to invest in highway, transit, bike and pedestrian, open space, and local infrastructure projects. The San Diego County Road Repair, Transit, Traffic Relief, Safety and Water Quality measure will provide a dedicated source of local revenue that stays in San Diego County. The measure will repair roads, fix potholes, improve highways to relieve congestion, replace aging bridges, enhance transit and bikeway connectivity, and preserve open space to help reduce the risk of wildfires; these funds can’t be taken away by Sacramento. The mix of projects and programs to be funded by the proposed half-cent sales tax increase was prepared based on input from the public, resulting in a diverse plan that includes a variety of transportation system improvements.



Visit sandag.org/priorities to learn what projects are included, watch this video to find out how this measure can help build a better transportation system, and view an interactive map to learn where highway and transit projects could be completed near you.
