Contra Costa County Transportation Authority is pushing for a renewal of Measure J, the countywide half-cent sales tax, set to expire in 2009.

The new Measure C would raise $1.6 billion in transportation funding through 2029 and update the "Growth Management Program" initiated by the first Measure C.
