It went into effect in 1988 and was extended by voters in 2004 for an additional 40 years. This program is one of the largest transportation improvement programs in California. TransNet funds numerous transit, highway, freight, bikeway, and walkway programs, in addition to an environmental conservation program, transit fare subsidies, and grants for smart growth, active transportation, and transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities.
