Ordinance No.26-001 Adopting Substantive Transactions and Use Tax Measure (hereinafter, the ordinance)

Ordinance No. 26-001, adopted by the Riverside County Transportation Commission in California, establishes a funding mechanism through the renewal of a countywide sales tax. This legislative action is designed to procure funding for the Commission's general operations and transportation investments, benefiting the residents and transportation infrastructure users of Riverside County. The ordinance serves as a fiscal tool to enable future projects and programs rather than committing the Commission to any specific project or capital improvement at this time. The action is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 926120 and is managed by Executive Director Aaron Hake. According to the Notice of Exemption, the ordinance is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and is exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). Any future projects funded by this measure will be subject to their own separate reviews.
