Is the half-cent road excise tax the same as Proposition 469 that was on the ballot in 2022?

No.  The half-cent road excise tax is the existing tax that has been in place since 1986.  It was most recently passed as Proposition 400 in 2005.  The “pothole” tax, as it is sometimes called, is used mostly for maintenance and preservation.  Proposition 469, which was on the ballot in November of 2022, was an additional tax that was dedicated to new construction under the direction of the Pinal County Regional Transportation Authority.
