We’re a coalition uniting to pass Measure G on the November 2024 ballot that allows voters to choose a better future for San Diego County than just more LA-style traffic, smog and congestion.
We are unions and businesses. Environmental leaders and transportation experts. Above all, we’re San Diegans who care deeply about keeping our hometown safe, livable and thriving.
The time is now – without Measure G, our region will experience even more traffic, gridlock and smog as San Diego’s populations grows and the number of cars increase.
Together, we can help provide the essential transportation improvements that will make life better for San Diego County residents now:
- Getting more cars off the road by expanding the transit system
- Making our existing roads and highways safer and more efficient.
- Fixing aging bridges, local roads and rail lines in danger of collapse
- Reducing air pollution to protect our environment and quality of life
Vote YES on G – Let’s Go San Diego!
Measure G FAQs
What is Measure G?
Measure G is on the November 5, 2024 ballot to transform transportation in San Diego County. Measure G will fix our roads, speed up commute times and make real safety, transit and transportation improvements to reduce traffic gridlock and give us more time with family and friends. With Measure G, we can ensure that San Diego will never become like LA in terms of traffic, smog and all the problems they bring.
Why do we need Measure G?
If we don’t improve transportation now, smog, congestion and traffic will only get worse. This is our chance to do things differently than LA.
Let’s do what LA never did and unclog freeways while preserving open space, lagoons and habitat to protect the environment.
What transportation improvements will Measure G include?
Measure G is focused on specific transportation improvements that will make commutes easier for all of San Diego County. Including:
- Fixing streets and repairing the worst potholes and roads across the County
- Fix aging, underground storm drains to prevent more catastrophic sinkholes and collapsing roads and protect beaches and natural habitats
- Re-route rail lines away from collapsing bluffs
- Improve connections to job centers for working people
- Enhance safety by improving evacuation routes in high-fire-danger areas
- Fix old and deteriorating bridges
- Improve transportation safety for everyone, including people who walk, bike, drive, or ride transit
What fiscal accountability protections are included in Measure G?
Measure G includes a specific project list, independent citizen oversight, public disclosure and annual financial audits.
Measure G funds go into a “lockbox”: they aren’t mixed with the County’s general funds. They can only be used for dedicated projects. If funds are misused, the oversight committee can refer to the District Attorney for criminal prosecution.
All Measure G funds will be under local control. Even better, every dollar raised brings $2 more from State and Federal government: billions for local improvements that would otherwise be spent elsewhere.
How will Measure G help protect San Diego’s beaches, lagoons, natural areas and wildlife habitats?
Measure G prioritizes the protection of San Diego’s unique environment by funding resources to preserve open spaces and natural habitats, and preventing toxic pollution from reaching our lagoons, waterways, beaches, bays and the ocean.
Measure G ensures that future generations can enjoy San Diego’s natural beauty while maintaining vital habitats for wildlife.
How will Measure G work?
Measure G funding is guaranteed to go directly to San Diego County road and transportation priorities – and nothing else. Measure G funds go directly into a special account politicians can’t touch and if elected officials misuse the funds, they will be subject to criminal penalties. Yearly audits and a citizens’ taxpayer oversight committee will ensure Measure G delivers as voters intend.
Who is the coalition supporting Measure G?
Our broad and growing non-partisan coalition includes workers, local businesses, firefighters and environmental organizations. We’re supported by traffic engineers who know what it takes to fix our road and traffic problems and move people faster. Our broad coalition includes climate activists and staunch Republicans.
Measure G isn’t political or controversial: it’s broadly supported as our best chance to make serious, lasting improvements to our streets, roads, highways, transit, transportation safety and air quality.

How will Measure G create jobs in San Diego?
Measure G will create thousands of good-paying jobs in San Diego through the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. From road repairs to rail line rerouting, the measure will provide opportunities for local workers, including those in the Electrical Workers, Laborers, and Carpenters unions. These jobs will not only improve our transportation system but also boost the local economy.
How will Measure G improve safety during wildfires?
Measure G will enhance wildfire safety by improving evacuation routes in high-fire-danger areas, such as State Route 67. By ensuring these critical roads are well-maintained and equipped to handle emergency situations, Measure G helps protect lives and property during wildfires. Measure G is essential for keeping our communities safe as wildfire risks continue to increase.
