In 2025, Humboldt County voters approved Measure O, a one-cent sales tax intended to improve transportation, including road repairs and public transit. This funding, totaling approximately $24 million annually, will address critical infrastructure needs. A portion of the tax revenue is allocated specifically for transit and active transportation, marking a first in the county's financial planning. Advocates played a significant role in expanding the measure's objectives from mere road repairs to a broader vision for sustainable transportation solutions, particularly as federal funding remains uncertain and critical for local transit operations.
Humboldt County voters passed Measure O, a one-cent sales tax, to fund transportation improvements, highlighting a critical need for road repair and transit funding.
For the first time, Humboldt County created dedicated funding for transit operations, thanks to advocacy efforts from local groups pushing for balanced transportation solutions.
