These projects are funded through Measure M, which increased sales tax by a half-cent to support transportation improvements. The measure also included funding for an environmental cleanup program.
Funding is awarded on a competitive basis to cities and the county for projects that capture transportation-related pollution before it reaches the ocean and other waterways.
