Budget planning is still this week headlining all local, state, and federal governments. The Placer County Board of Supervisors heard last week a presentation regarding the countyas transportation needs and potential sales tax measure the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA) would like to implement.

The potential sales tax measure would be a south district tax for Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville to assist addressing a funding gap for county transportation expansion projects like constructing Placer Parkway, widening Highway 65, or making improvements to Interstate 80. According to PCTPA Executive Director Mike Luken, the county has more than $3 billion of planned transportation infrastructure needs over the next 30-40 years, with $2 billion paid with impact fees from the building community and more than $1 billion still unfunded. According to Luken, Placer County is the largest county in California of those without a sales tax measure and there are 25 counties with a tax measure, which makes it difficult when competing for state and federal grant funding. After discussion, no action was taken.
