Investing in roads, safety, and community

Local roads first

Measure L is a 25-year one-half cent sales tax dedicated to much-needed transportation improvements in Stanislaus County. We use these funds to repair local roads, improve traffic safety, enhance public transit, and build better infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

Showcasing Measure L in action

From recently completed improvements to exciting projects underway, Measure L is making a real difference across the region. These highlighted projects are just a few examples of the many funded by Measure L—already enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and improving daily life throughout Stanislaus County.
