Prop 479: Our 20-Year Strategic Investment in Transportation Infrastructure

Voters will decide if investing in transportation infrastructure is a strategic way to boost economic growth and enhance our quality of life.

Prop 479  continues an existing, dedicated half-cent sales tax in Maricopa County to fund transportation. A “yes” vote extends the tax until 2045. A “no” vote will discontinue it at the end of 2025. A 20-year continuation of the tax is projected to generate $14.9 billion in revenues to fund freeways, transit, street projects, and more.
