The temporary penny sales tax extension helps make our streets better and continue work on a complete and safe street network for all Oklahoma City residents. It continued the use of the expiring MAPS 3 sales tax.

Over 27 months, the temporary sales tax will generated an estimated $240 million of revenue for better and safer streets, sidewalks and trails for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. It expired March 31, 2020.

The initiative includes $168 million for street resurfacing, $24 million for streetscapes, $24 million for sidewalks, $12 million for trails, $12 million for bicycle infrastructure.

The debt-free projects will create smooth and safe streets for drivers, on-street amenities for recreational and commuting cyclists, and streetscapes and trails that protect pedestrians and cyclists and enhance opportunities for economic development.
