Making Every Dollar Count

Measure L brings more funding to our roads

Measure L not only funds essential transportation projects but also helps attract additional state and federal funding.

This helps StanCOG and local jurisdictions deliver long-term solutions that improve the quality of life for everyone in Stanislaus County.
