A local group is trying to drum up more support for a proposal that would raise San Diego County’s sales tax, with that money going towards SANDAG’s $160 billion regional transportation project.
On Wednesday, the organization Let’s Go! San Diego is expected to submit signatures they have collected to the Registrar of Voters to get a proposed half-cent sales tax increase placed on the November ballot.
If the project is approved, SANDAG has promised cleaner air, better roads, and improved transportation across the region.Should the sales tax increase be approved, it would be broken into three tax hikes by 2028, as well as per-miles fees for drivers starting in 2030.
