Across the Political Divide, Voters Approve $41 Billion for State & Local Transportation Investment

What happened: Voters Nov. 5 approved 77 percent of 370 state and local ballot initiatives that are expected to generate $41.4 billion in new and renewed funding for roads, bridges, trails and rails, according to initial results compiled by ARTBA.

Why it matters: Transportation funding measures tracked by ARTBA’s Transportation Investment Advocacy Center appeared on ballots in at least 25 states, with 23 states approving at least one statewide or local question.

What’s next: For a deeper look at the transportation ballot results across the nation, the full ballot report is available on the Center’s website. Final results will be certified over the next few weeks.
