Measure K Renewal

On November 7, 2006 San Joaquin County voters decided to extend Measure K for an additional 30 years. The Measure K Renewal is estimated to generate $2.552 billion for the transportation programs identified in the Measure K Renewal Expenditure Plan. The categorical allocations of the Measure K Renewal include Local Street Repairs and Roadway Safety (35%), Congestion Relief projects (32.5%), Railroad Crossing Safety projects (2.5%), and Passenger Rail, Bus and Bicycles (30%) which includes dedicated funding for bus rapid transit and safe routes to schools.

The Measure K Renewal Expenditure Plan was developed as a result of a 3-year collaboration involving local jurisdictions, community groups, business groups, and the general public of San Joaquin County. The plan provides a wide range of comprehensive transportation improvements including:

• State highway improvements
• Special transportation services for seniors and persons with disabilities
• Altamont Commuter Express rail service expansions
• Construction and maintenance of city streets and county roads
• Construction of railroad crossing safety improvements
• Economic incentives to encourage smart growth in San Joaquin County

As a result of the renewal of Measure K, San Joaquin County will maintain the ability to finance needed transportation projects and services throughout the county. Measure K will continue to make highways safer, relieve congestion and make additional transportation options available for seniors and persons with disabilities. The Measure K Renewal will make improvements on every major highway in San Joaquin County and provided millions of dollars to local cities and the county for street and road improvements.
