Explore potential impacts to cities from I-976
Initiative 976 (I-976) is often described as the "$30 car tab initiative," but it also proposes significant changes to many other aspects of the state's transportation system, including repeal of the authority for city Transportation Benefit Districts (TBDs) to impose fees. The Legislature did not act on the initiative; therefore, I-976 will be presented to voters during the next general election, this November. Find out more about how this initiative might impact your city here.
