We know that Humboldt County has some of the worst roads in the state. This is partially because other counties, like Los Angeles and San Francisco, have passed transportation measures that give them access to billions in state and federal dollars that the County of Humboldt currently cannot afford to access because the county does not have the matching funds.
On Tuesday, July 23 the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to place Humboldt County’s Roads/911 Emergency Response Measure on your November 5, 2024 ballot. If passed, the measure would provide $24 million in local funding, that cannot be taken or cut by the state, that would allow the county to bring in additional millions in outside funding each year for roads and bus service for seniors, disabled and low-income people.
