The Road Ahead tax generates $16.6 million in revenue

THE ROAD AHEAD

Since its inception in mid-2020, the 1% Road Ahead sales and use tax has generated $16.6 million in revenue that has been used exclusively for the maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and expansion of the city's surface transportation network.

Projects completed using this revenue stream have significantly improved transportation in Evans, made the city more attractive to developers, and provided a long-run cost savings to taxpayers as repair and maintenance work prolongs the lifespan of roadways to prevent the need for more expensive and disruptive projects resulting from catastrophic failures.
