Ordinance No. 26-1 Adopting Substantive Transactions and Use Tax and Expenditure Plan

The Ordinance authorizes the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to continue imposing a countywide sales tax, contingent upon voter approval, to generate revenue for the Authority’s operational needs and transportation-related investments. This measure does not bind the Authority to any specific projects or programs, maintaining flexibility in how funds are allocated based on future priorities and community needs. The tax would remain in effect as long as it is renewed by the electorate, ensuring sustained funding without locking the Authority into predefined spending commitments. The ordinance was adopted on June 5, 2026, and is part of the Authority’s broader strategy to secure stable financial resources for transportation infrastructure and services across the county. Otis Greer, Deputy Executive Director, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries regarding the measure. While no specific projects are outlined in the ordinance, the funding mechanism is designed to support a wide range of transportation improvements that align with regional mobility goals and public demand. The initiative is subject to voter approval, making the outcome dependent on public support in the upcoming election.
