Measure J will seek to extend a one-half cent transportation sales tax that was put in place in 2008 and expires in 2039. If Measure J passes in November, it will extend the tax until 2069.
The tax was put in place to help accelerate traffic relieving highway and transit projects across Los Angeles.
