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.
