  • Cuts To Transportation Projects

    Larimer County currently has a list of over 500 immediate transportation priorities. Cutting these projects would impact residents across the county.

    • Cutting essential transportation projects would have both immediate and long-term impacts on roads and bridges, including safety, traffic mitigation, road improvements, and more.

  • News Sales Tax To Fund Transportation Needs

    A new 0.15% sales tax would generate about $15 million annually to cover immediate transportation priorities and needs through the next 25 years.

    • A 0.15% sales tax is the equivalent of 15 cents on a $100 purchase (excluding groceries).
    • The tax would be paid by residents and visitors to the county.
