So, where would the money from Measure B go? It is impossible to really say, as the current option Transportation Expenditure Plan (TEP) focuses more on government entities than types of projects. But here is a summary, with the TEP (SacTA_2016-04-28_agenda-item6-TEP) also available:

• Citrus Heights: $117M, mostly fix-it-first and complete streets projects, mostly good
• Elk Grove: $235M, fix-it-first, new and widened road, new interchange, mostly bad
• Folsom: $115M, fix-it-first, two new interchanges, road widening, mostly bad
• Galt: $36M, fix-it-first, new interchange, mostly bad
• Isleton: $2M, fix-it-first, great
• Rancho Cordova: $110M, fix-it-first, interchange, several widening, mostly bad
• City of Sacramento: $683, fix-it-first, American River bridge, OK
• County of Sacramento: $901M, fix-it-first, one interchange, several complete streets but many road capacity expansions, mostly bad
• Capital City Freeway: $200M, all bad
• Capital Southeast Connector: $125M, all bad
• SacRT replacement and operations: $393M, mostly fix-it-first with low floor modern light rail cars, all good
• SacRT new light rail: $180M, mixed bag, but issue not addressed is which routes should be extended and how far on what priority
• SacRT Gold Line express: $20M, good
• SacRT Blue Line to Elk Grove and SMART: $126, mostly good, but same issue as above with priorities
• Paratransit: $126M, good, though needs to emphasize transport to transit rather than point to point

Notice that most of the items say fix-it-first as the first line item, however, there is language in the ballot measure that would allow all agencies to squirm out of that requirement if they so chose.

So, to reiterate and summarize these recent posts, I am not against a sales tax for transportation, but I am against the way funds have been allocated in the TEP, and the length of the tax measure. I probably will not have time for any more posts between now and the Thursday meeting of SacTA.
