Half Cent Sales Tax Support
The transportation system continues to age, and funding is
inadequate to meet the demand for maintenance and expansion.
The Federal and State governments have encouraged local
agencies to contribute toward solving their own
transportation problems. Counties that have a local funding
mechanism are given project priority over counties that lack
such funding.
The Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) has
developed a Traffic Reduction and Growth Management Ordinance
and Expenditure Plan. The Traffic Plan is based on a half
cent sales tax that is anticipated to generate an estimated
$25 Million per year. A majority (60 percent or $15 Million)
would be spent as matching funds for State and Federal grants
that will construct regional projects. The remainder (40%
or $10 Million) would be spent for local streets and transit.
Details of potential projects and the funding split are
listed in the Traffic Ordinance which was previously
provided to the Council.
The VCTC will consider taking the necessary steps on June 8,
1990 to place the Traffic Ordinance before the voters in
November. To assure passage of this crucial plan that has
been developed through extensive public involvement, it is
important to indicate the City's approval. A transmittal
