The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)In the County of Sacramento, the authority seeks to address local transportation needs by raising additional local revenue to fund transportation projects and programs.
(b)Constitutional voting thresholds applicable to local taxes have created challenges for the adoption of countywide sales tax measures. The adoption of this chapter is intended, in part, to allow the authority to seek voter approval of a transportation improvement sales tax in a portion of the county.
(c)The County of Sacramento is unique in having a large, developed unincorporated population and seven cities with older commercial corridors that have potential for infill but which regularly experience construction-related disruptions and pavement deterioration. To reduce these localized impacts and limit the need for future transportation system expansion, the authority must be able to fund coordinated infrastructure improvements that support infill development as part of a single project.
