Ordinance No. 20-1448: Funding mechanism

The Council passed an ordinance that, if the proposed measure passes, would establish a tax on certain employers to pay for the proposed transportation projects and programs. If the proposed measure passes, these employers would pay a tax of up to 0.75% of their payroll in the region. (The Metro Council may set a lower rate.)

The proposed tax would exempt employers with 25 or fewer employees, as well as state and local governments. If the proposed measure passes, collection of the tax would begin in 2022. If the proposed measure does not pass, the tax would not be assessed and the proposed transportation projects and programs would not be completed/funded.
