Transit Revenue Explanation:
Outcome: Loss for Transit
Results: Failed, 43% - 57%

In 2002, voters passed a measure (Prop. 42) to dedicate gas tax funds to transportation. Proposition 91 was designed to close loopholes that the state was using to apply the funds to other purposes. In 2006, voters passed Propositions 1A and 1B, which closed the loopholes and created new transportation infrastructure funding. The original proponents of Prop 91 are telling voters to vote 'no', as the measure is now redundant and unnecessary. But Southern California Transit Advocates insist that the measure is still necessary and are encouraging voters to approve it.
