Measure C, the half-cent county sales tax used to pay for transportation, expires June 2007 and needs voter approval by a two-thirds margin to continue. Under the proposal before the Fresno County Board of Supervisors, every dollar that goes into the new Measure C would be broken down to allow 13 cents for public transportation, 24 cents for building roads and adding capacity in the urban area.
