How Projects Are Funded
The City of Escalon uses a variety of funding sources to deliver major infrastructure projects. Each source has specific rules about what it can be used for, which helps ensure that projects are funded responsibly without relying solely on the City’s General Fund.
Major Funding Sources
- Measure K: A countywide, voter‑approved transportation sales tax administered by the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG). Funds road repairs, bike/pedestrian improvements, and safety projects.
- SB 1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act): State gas tax revenue dedicated to street maintenance, pavement rehabilitation, and ADA upgrades.
- Gas Taxes: State and federal fuel taxes that support local street maintenance and traffic safety improvements.
- Development Impact Fees: Fees paid by new development to help fund growth‑related infrastructure such as streets, parks, water, and sewer facilities.
- Water & Sewer Enterprise Funds: Ratepayer‑funded utilities that support water system improvements, sewer upgrades, and regulatory compliance projects. These funds cannot be used for non‑utility purposes.
- Grants: Competitive State and Federal programs such as the Active Transportation Program (ATP), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Safe Routes to School, and other infrastructure grants.
- General Fund: Used sparingly for capital projects. Typically reserved for facility improvements, small‑scale repairs, or match requirements when other funding sources are not available.
Using a mix of these funding sources allows the City to maximize grant opportunities, maintain essential infrastructure, and reduce the burden on local taxpayers.
