Local Road Repair & Transportation Safety Investment Plan Summary
Draft 3-5-24
LOCAL ROAD REPAIR
& TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
INVESTMENT PLAN SUMMARY
$700 M
Funded by a proposed half-cent sales tax, requiring two-thirds voter-approval. Twenty-five counties throughout California have passed similar measures, choosing to fund transportation projects and infrastructure improvements within their local communities. These measures ensure that all funds raised stay local and cannot be stolen by Sacramento. Enacting such a measure would also return a fair-share of State and Federal funds to San Luis Obispo County by qualifying the region for an additional $900 million in competitive grants.
20 YEARS
If placed on the ballot and approved by voters, the proposed measure would ensure a dedicated, reliable source of funding to address road repair and critical safety needs for the next 20 years.

Local Road Repair & Transportation Safety Investment Plan Summary

SAFETY & RELIABILITY
Safety and reliability is critical to our transportation system’s function. The Plan aims to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on our highways, streets, and roads, while improving system reliability by focusing on operational efficiency and resilency to environmental changes and natural disasters.
IMPROVED MOBILITY
Quality of life depends on our ability to access jobs, goods, and services. The Plan will improve mobility by ensuring transportation to and from places such as work, school, shopping centers and medical appointments remains accessible & affordable for everyone living and working in the San Luis Obispo County region.
TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELIEF
Traffic congestion increases travel times and has a harmful effect on air
quality. The Plan will improve travel times and preserve our air quality by
investing in transportation solutions that reduce traffic congestion across
our region.
GRANT LEVERAGE
Our region competes for grant funding with other California regions. Many
grants require applicants to provide local match money to win back State
and Federal funds through these grant programs. The Plan leverages
funding collected from this half-cent sales tax to return our fair-share of
State and Federal funds to the region. By securing funds locally through
The Plan, San Luis Obispo County and its cities qualify for an extra $900
million in competitive grants.
ECONOMIC VITALITY
Our region depends on goods movement, travel and tourism to support
our local economies. The Plan ensures our communities will continue to
prosper by securing funds for the transportation infrastructure that is
needed to balance economic growth and development.
BENEFITS OF THE PLAN
LOCAL ROADS FIRSTSLO COUNTY & CITIES
Local Road Repair & Transportation Safety Investment Plan Summary
Draft 3-5-24
ABOUT THE PLAN
Ensures local funding
collected stays in local
communities
Guarantees funding
cannot be re-allocated to
other projects and must
be spent on improving
transportation
Creates jobs that will
support the maintenance
and improvement of
transportation infrastructure
in San Luis Obispo County, its
cities and communities
Brings more Federal and
State tax dollars back to
San Luis Obispo County
through competitive grant
programs
The San Luis Obispo County region will need $5.4 billion in transportation infrastructure over the next 23 years, but
only expects $3.1 billion in available funds. With a $2.3 billion projected deficit, basic transportation projects such as
fixing potholes, improving road safety, and reducing traffic congestion cannot be implemented.
The Local Road Repair & Transportation Safety Investment Plan would add a half-percent sales tax to every dollar
spent within the region, generating $700 million over 20 years (unescalated for inflation). Funding would be
allocated to each subregion based on its population and be required to stay local, with a minimum of 99% going
to improve transportation infrastructure and safety. In addition, jobs would be created, public transit would be
improved, and tourists would pay for the roads they use.
