The city’s asking for an extension of the tax it says could generate $740 million to improve every city neighborhood street over the next decade.
Arizona Daily Star Tuesday, May 17, is election day for Tucson voters who will decide if the city’s half-cent sales tax to fund road improvements will continue for another 10 years under Proposition 411.
Of the funds collected, 80% will go toward improving city street conditions and 20% toward road safety improvements. The half-cent sales tax first went into effect in 2017 when voters passed Proposition 101. The tax rate won’t increase regardless of the election outcome, but a “no” vote would end that tax. The city’s current sales tax rate is 2.6%.

All of the safety improvements under Prop 411 would be overseen by the Complete Street Coordinating council, a public committee of 20 city residents who review transportation projects and oversee implementation.
