DISCUSSION On November 7, 2006, voters approved the Renewed Measure M half-cent sales tax (M2), extending the program over a 30-year period commencing on April 1, 2011. In addition to the original three program components, this generation of the Measure M Transportation Plan expands the program to include Environmental Cleanup and Taxpayer Safeguards and Audits. To receive revenues from the one-half-cent sales tax (M2), cities and the County of Orange must enter into an agreement to coordinate land use and transportation decisions, establish cooperative transportation planning programs with neighboring jurisdictions, develop Growth Management programs, and guarantee that transportation funds are used for transportation purposes only. The programs are designed to reduce traffic congestion, strengthen our economy and improve our quality of life by maintaining streets and roads, synchronizing traffic signals, and protecting our environment from the oily street runoff that pollutes the Orange County beaches.
