Measure C results focused on Fresno County transportation

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Measure C has been around in Fresno County since 1986.

As of 11 pm Tuesday, the ballot measure is at 60% "yes" and 40% "no." It needs 66.7% to pass.

In those more than three decades, it has funded improvements to state highways, county roads and streets in the county's 15 cities.

If approved for an extension in November, the half-cent sales tax would raise $7 billion over 30 years.

About half of the funding would go to road maintenance.

Supporters say this extension will fund bike lanes, street widening, sidewalks, and much-needed repairs countywide.

Measure C is on the ballot for Fresno County. If approved, it would extend the current tax measure for another 30 years to raise $7 billion.
