The San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) will be conducting outreach on the agency’s proposed 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. This plan will outline how the TA will make investment decisions over the next five years for the funds from Measures A and W that it is responsible for administering. This includes the process for how projects will be evaluated and prioritized.
Measure A and W are both transportation sales taxes, authorized by the voters of San Mateo County, that fund a wide variety of transportation projects and programs in San Mateo County. The TA administers all of the funds raised through Measure A and 50% of Measure W funds. The other 50% of Measure W is under the purview of the SamTrans Board of Directors.
The Strategic Plan development process offers the TA and the community a chance to reflect on the current state of transportation funding and project delivery while preparing for the future needs of San Mateo County. A draft copy of the document is available online at www.smcta.com/strategicplan.

About the Transportation Authority (TA):
Created to administer Measure A, San Mateo County’s ½ cent sales tax, the TA provides funding for transportation projects and programs in San Mateo County. In 2004, more than 75 percent of San Mateo County voters reauthorize Measure A for an additional 25 years. In 2018, voters approved Measure W, the San Mateo County Congestion Relief Plan an additional ½ cent sales tax. The TA will administer half the revenue of Measure W and the San Mateo County Transit District will administer the other half to fund and implement the Congestion Relief Plan.
