2000 Measure B and 2014 Measure BB both fund local transportation improvements throughout Alameda County. Recipients of Local Streets and Roads Direct Local Distributions include 14 cities and Alameda County. As flexible funding sources for recipients, Measure B and Measure BB can be used for transportation priorities determined locally that include streets and roads improvements, bicycle/pedestrian enhancements and transit-related projects.
