Local officials are planning to ask voters to extend Measure D, a half cent sales tax for transportation. The 30-year extension would raise an estimated $1 billion. Officials are also considering a new quarter cent levy to supplement local projects. The funding plan calls for increased funding for transit, bicycle and safe routes to school.
