In plain language
Measure A would continue Riverside County's existing voter-approved transportation sales tax, without raising the tax rate. A YES vote keeps this sales tax going. Revenue would fund pothole, road, and bridge repair, plus freeway projects. It would also fund lower bus fares for seniors, students, disabled people, and veterans. This raises about $280,000,000 a year until voters end it. It requires audits and spending disclosure. A NO vote would end this transportation sales tax.
Fiscal impact
This continues an existing sales tax. It would raise about $280,000,000 each year, with no rate increase. It lasts until voters end it.
