Measure T Strategic Plan

Measure T ½ Cent Transportation Sales Tax Program

When voters approved Measure T on the November 7, 2006 ballot, they allowed a newly formed Madera County Transportation Authority (Authority) to impose a ½ cent retail transaction and use tax for the next twenty years (between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2027). The Authority will continue to be responsible for administering the Measure "T" Program in accordance with plans and programs outlined in this and subsequent updates of this Plan.

The Measure T Investment Plan was prepared to identify how the funds would be allocated over the 20-year period. The Measure “T” Strategic Plan provides a 5-year review of how Measure “T” tax revenues will be allocated to its various programs and serves as an update to the Investment Plan. The Authority will have the option of issuing bonds to deliver Measure projects and/or programs contained in the Investment Plan to save project costs by delivering them earlier.  Issues and decisions regarding bonding are provided in subsequent sections of this Plan. In addition to this Strategic Plan, the Authority will prepare an Annual Work Program (AWP), which will further detail the programming of specific Regional Streets and Highways Program projects and the funding allocations for the Local Transportation Revenues Programs.
