SMART’s Financial Plan
White Paper No. 18 July 2008
Higher sales tax projections. In 2006, SMART’s funding plan relied on sales tax estimates from both Marin and Sonoma Counties. Since then, both counties have had experience collecting transportation-related sales taxes, and the audited results of those taxes show collections much higher than those projected in 2006. Thus, even though SMART projects flat sales tax collections in the next few years, the starting tax base is higher and provides more revenue to SMART than what was assumed in 2006.
