What is Measure R? Measure R is a half-cent sales tax increase that is expected to provide the local resources to finance new transportation projects and accelerate those already in the pipeline. Over 30 years, it is projected to generate $40 billion for congestion relief projects. Measure R alone does not fully fund all projects. The expenditure plan identifies additional funding sources.
