Election season is around the corner and on November 3rd, voters will cast their ballots for important federal, state, and local races. Voters will also decide the fate of many transportation-related measures from major transit initiatives to local road improvements. Every election season reminds us that transportation policy is not limited to Congress or state agencies. Members of the public are another critical voice in transportation decision-making and once again, voters have an opportunity to decide transportation policy for their communities.
As part of the 2026 Ballot Box coverage, Eno has compiled a list of 114 transportation measures that are on the November 3rd ballot. These measures cover different modes, regions, and funding mechanisms (referred to as “identifier” in the database). The measures in the database are organized by the following categories:
- Month
- Region: Northeast, South, Midwest, and West
- State
- Locality: the name of the city or county
- Geography: State, County, or Municipal
- Measure Title
- Identifier (e.g., sales tax, bond, property tax)
- Summary
- Mode of transportation
- Amount of funding and years, if applicable
- Results: pass/fail and percent for and against
- External links to the measure
This list offers a window into the kinds of measures that are out there and what is at stake. According to Eno’s list, over $27 billion in transportation projects and initiatives are at stake in November. This figure does not include every measure in the database, since some measures do not include dollar amounts, nor does it include measures not in the database.
It is important to note that this list does not include every transportation-related measure on the 2026 November ballot. There are thousands of localities in the United States, many of which will have transportation measures, and are not reflected in Eno’s database. This partly reflects the fact that some ballots are hard to access.
