In 2006, Orange County voters gave OCTA a vote of confidence and approved a 30-year extension of an existing one half-cent sales tax that was set to expire in 2011.
This renewal allows OCTA to continue making transportation improvements, one half-cent at a time, that benefit the public and the local economy. As of fall 2024, OC Go is expected to generate approximately $14 billion through 2041.
*In September 2017, OCTA externally rebranded Measure M as OC Go to raise awareness about Orange County's vital local sales tax for transportation improvements and to avoid confusion with Measure M in Los Angeles County.
*Estimate based on 2024 Sales Tax Revenue Forecast presented to the Board on October 14, 2024. OCTA receives updated revenue forecasts annually in the fall. The next update will take place in fall of 2025.
