In 1985, Maricopa County voters overwhelmingly passed a 20-year half-cent sales tax dedicated to transportation infrastructure.
It was renewed in 2004 with the passage of Proposition 400 which invested in highways, streets, and transit. The funding is set to expire December 31, 2025, without renewal. The extension of this transportation investment was referred to Maricopa County voters by the Arizona Legislature and will be on the November 2024 ballot as Proposition 479.
