Measure M2, Orange County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, will reach its 10-year anniversary in November 2016 since being passed by nearly 70 percent of the voters in 2006. In this short amount of time, Measure M2 has provided for $900 million to improve freeways, purchased 1,300 acres of open space for preservation, and made enhancements to 52 rail-highway grade crossings. These are just a few of the Measure M2 milestones that have helped improve the lives of Orange County residents.
