Bernardino County Transportation Authority, to impose a one-half of one percent transactions and
use tax for transportation improvements, applicable in the incorporated and unincorporated territory
of the County of San Bernardino, through April 1, 2040, and
WHEREAS, Measure I has provided funding for numerous transportation projects, including
freeways, local roads, major streets, interchanges, the Metrolink commuter train system, public buses,
traffic signals, and more; and

expire in 2040, and

be placed on the November 3, 2026, ballot, and

new tax, but continue the existing one-half of one percent sales tax for transportation after April 1,

Bernardino County and could not be allocated by the state or federal government, and

economy by providing construction -related jobs, manufacturing jobs, and an effective transportation
system to meet the needs of residents and the business commrmity, and

Expenditure Plan be approved by the County Board of Supervisors and a majority of the cities
