TSPLOST 2026: What's on the Ballot for North Fulton? |
|
|
|
As voters prepare for the November 3 election, the future of Fulton County's Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST) is once again on the ballot. First approved in 2016 and renewed in 2021, TSPLOST is an existing 0.75% sales tax dedicated to transportation improvements. Fulton County voters outside the City of Atlanta will decide whether to renew it for another five years, potentially generating approximately $650 million for roads, bridges, sidewalks, trails, congestion relief and safety improvements.
In a recent True North 400 blog, Matt Yarbrough, vice president of Policy & Government Affairs for the Council for Quality Growth, explores the role TSPLOST plays in North Fulton's transportation network and how local funding supports larger infrastructure partnerships. Early voting is underway through October 30, with Election Day on November 3.
