Fresno Votes on Transportation Tax | Fresno News
Description
Fresno’s voters face a critical choice this fall: approve a new sales tax to save public transit—or risk layoffs, service cuts, and a crumbling transportation system. After the county stalled on its own replacement for the aging Measure C, the city stepped in with a general fund tax that keeps the rate at 8.35% and bridges a $54 million funding gap. Emotional pleas from advocates, especially seniors and disabled riders, underscore the stakes. But here’s the twist—the mayor vows to veto the city’s measure if the county’s delayed plan clears the ballot by August 7th. This is a high-stakes showdown where Fresno’s future mobility hangs in the balance.
