Election Day:
May 5, 2026

Vote YES on Issue 1

A Proven Tax.
Real Results.
Time to Renew.

The Mahoning County Township Association (MCTA) has partnered with the Mahoning County Engineer’s Office (MCEO) to support the renewal of the 0.25% sales tax dedicated to improving roads and bridges throughout Mahoning County, which includes:

This tax has changed the face, future, and functional infrastructure of Mahoning County. As a Resident for Better Roads, your vote for Issue 1 will improve the infrastructure necessary for attracting and retaining businesses and drastically improve the safety of our roadways. We, as a County, cannot rely on the State and Federal governments to fix our problems. We need to take on this challenge ourselves in order to see real, actual results.

All 88 County Engineers are funded by gas tax and license plate fees.

No property tax.

No income tax.

Allowable Uses

Every Dollar Goes Back Into Our Roads

Roads

Paving, chip & seal, crack sealing, fog sealing, berming, grinding, widening, base repair, materials, engineering, ditch repair, and storm sewer.

Bridges

Bridge rehabilitation & painting, expansion joints, engineering services, and full bridge replacement when necessary.

Safety

Sidewalks, ADA ramps, road striping, lighting, signage, and traffic signals — making every road safer for everyone.

Grants & Loans

Local match funding, grant application fees, and loan payments — stretching every dollar further with state and federal partnerships.

The 0.25% sales tax generates approximately $10 million per year

$50 million dedicated solely to safety and improving local infrastructure.

This is what your sales tax dollars look like in action.

When Mahoning County passed Issue 1, we made a promise — every dollar would go directly to fixing the roads you drive every day. No excuses. The results speak for themselves.
