Review of the Expenditure Plan
The Transportation Sales Tax Expenditure Plan guides how funds from Measure AA – Marin’s ½-cent transportation sales tax – are spent. Every six years, TAM is required to review the Expenditure Plan to ensure it continues to reflect the County’s diverse transportation needs.
The original Expenditure Plan was shaped by over a year of community input, and this initial six-year review has also provided many opportunities for community and partner input. Over 30 meetings were conducted with advisory committees, local agencies, community members and transportation partners.

About Measure AA
Measure AA was approved by 76.7% of Marin voters on November 6, 2018, following unanimous approval by the 11 Cities and Towns and the County of Marin.
Funds generated by the sales tax can only be applied to transportation improvements that will benefit Marin County. Currently, the sales tax generates about $35 million annually to support road repairs, Safe Routes to Schools, transit service, and other vital transportation projects.
