Sandy Springs is hosting four T-SPLOST public open houses in April where residents can weigh in on proposed transportation projects tied to the November referendum.

T-SPLOST, the transportation special purpose local sales tax, is a three-quarter of a cent levy that is used to build bridges, alleviate congestion, fund safety projects, pedestrian and bike improvements, and roadway projects.

If a majority of Fulton County voters approve the T-SPLOST renewal, it would keep the existing 0.75% sales tax in place to continue funding transportation-related projects.

All cities in the county must submit their project lists to Fulton County by June. The referendum will be on the November ballots.

Voters originally approved the sales tax for transportation improvements in November 2016 and renewed it in November 2021. Passage of the referendum would not increase the existing sales tax.
