A new 0.75% sales tax that would bring in an estimated $6.5 million annually to be split among Wind River Transportation Authority (WRTA) and other public transit providers, Central Wyoming Regional Airport, and the county’s ambulance service, taking effect January 1, 2027 and subject to resubmission to voters at the 2030 general election. A separate memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the county and participating municipalities outlines the intended split—currently drafted at 15% for public ground transportation—with flexibility to adjust the formula as costs change over time. However, there are ongoing debates on how the funds should be allocated. Additionally, at least 50% of the 7 municipal governments in the county must also give the nod for the new tax to be decided by voters.

The campaign submitted 32,000 signatures in late June, which is 3,000 higher than the threshold to qualify. The signatures must be verified before it’s officially on the ballot.

A proposed countywide sales tax of up to 0.25% to fund Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) operations and capital needs, including sustaining existing transit services and transitioning the agency’s fleet to zero-emission buses.

No details have been publicly released yet for 2026, but it’s in the works. Revenue figures are estimates based on doubling the existing Measure Q rate of 0.125%, which currently generates over $13,000,000 annually—the proposed measure’s rate, duration, and total revenue figures remain pending an official board decision.
