Measure M: Your 1/2-cent sales tax at work

Taxpayer Oversight Committee (TOC)

The Taxpayers Oversight Committee (TOC) is an independent committee formed after the passage of Measure M in 1990. The committee upholds the integrity of the measure by monitoring the use of Measure M funds and ensuring that all revenue collected from Measure M is spent on voter-approved transportation projects.

The responsibilities of the 11-member Measure M Taxpayers Oversight Committee are to:

  • ensure all transportation revenue collected from Measure M is spent on the projects approved by the voters as part of the plan;
  • ratify any changes in the plan and recommend any major changes go back to the voters for approval;
  • participate in ensuring that all jurisdictions in Orange County conform with the requirements of Measure M before receipt of any tax monies for local projects;
  • Hold annual public meetings regarding the expenditure and status of funds generated by Measure M;
  • review independent audits of issues regarding the plan and performance of the Orange County local Transportation Authority regarding the expenditure of Measure M sales tax monies.
  • Annually certify whether Measure M funds have been spent in compliance with the plan.
