TAM Citizens' Oversight Committee Report
The Transportation Authority of Marin or TAM was created to administer the half-cent Marin County Transportation Sales Tax, approved by voters in 2004 as Measure A. TAM has also been designated as the County Congestion Management Agency. The Agency is responsible for transportation programs and projects in Marin County. The TAM Board includes an elected official from each city and town, plus the five members of the Marin County Board of Supervisors. The City of Belvedere’s representative on TAM is Councilmember Sandy Donnell.
The Measure A Expenditure Plan mandates the formation of a Citizens’ Oversight Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to provide an independent review that Measure A expenditures are spent in accordance with the adopted Expenditure Plan. The Committee reports its findings annually to the public. The fourth of these reports, the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Annual Report, is up and ready for public review on the TAM website at http://tam.marin.org.
The four primary strategies of Measure A during Fiscal Year 2007-08 were:
- Maintaining the Local Bus System
- Highway 101 Carpool Lane Gap Closure Project
- Local Transportation Infrastructure
- Reducing School-Related Congestion and Provide Safer Access to Schools
