BART Extension to San Jose

On December 2, 2008, the Santa Clara County register of voters certified results of the Nov. 4 election including the measure to help fund a BART extension into the South Bay.

Measure B, the proposal to increase the sales tax in Santa Clara County by one-eighth of a cent to raise money for the long-planned BART project, won with 66.78 percent approval - a margin of .11 percent over the required 66.67 percent.
