SamTrans to Hold Public Hearing on FY2022 Measure W Audit

 

Media Contact: Mahmoud Abunie, 650-730-6201

The San Mateo County Transit District (District) Measure W Citizens’ Oversight Committee (COC) will hold a public hearing Monday, March 6, 2023, to receive public comments on financial and compliance audits of Measure W funds for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 2022.

In 2018, San Mateo County voters approved Measure W, a half-cent sales tax that provides a revenue source to SamTrans and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority. The Measure W ordinance requires the District have an independent auditor annually review the receipts and expenditures of tax proceeds under the Congestion Relief Plan. The Measure W COC will hold the public hearing on the audit findings report and then issue a report showing how tax proceeds are being spent.
