Proposition 479 will be on the ballot for Maricopa County voters in the November general election, asking for the approval of the continuation of an existing, dedicated half-cent sales tax in Maricopa County to fund transportation.
Funding from successful passage of Prop 479 will go toward various transportation improvement projects, including Loop 303 widening to three lanes from Lake Pleasant Parkway to I-17 along with a new interchange at I-17 to allow for direct access to the freeway. See [“ADOT Lays Out Plan for Loop 303 Improvements,” Valley Vibe, May 2024]. For a full list of projects included under Prop 479 within the county’s Regional Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Investment Plan, visit www.azmag.gov/prop479.
