A new tax measure would double the Alameda County “Measure B” half-cent sales tax for transportation to one full cent, and extend the new, higher, tax rate through 2022 into perpetuity.
Alameda County Transportation Commission presented their thirty year one-cent tax proposal to Alameda City Council on Tuesday March 20, 2012, but Alameda City Councilmember Lena Tam pushed to delay the council’s decision, citing “a lack of education” as the reason.
On April 6, the City of Alameda Paratransit Program will launch the Alameda Paratransit Shuttle Service. The shuttle will provide Alameda’s senior and disabled residents with access to major shopping destinations and medical facilities around the city. The service is funded by Alameda County Measure B sales tax dollars.
