Street repairs are managed by two departments supported by multiple
funding sources. The Transportation Trust Fund information follows. To

and a list of recent, current, and upcoming projects visit cityofcape.org/streets.
The
Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) is a transportation sales tax (0.5%, a half-cent per dollar spent) that has been renewed by voters every five years since it was first approved in 1995. TTF projects are funded on a "pay-as-you-go" basis so that no money is borrowed to fund the projects. This tax spreads the cost of improvement projects to everyone who uses the streets instead of just Cape Girardeau property owners. TTF revenue is only used to complete identified transportation improvement projects.
