Lincoln on the Move

Lincoln on the Move continuation

The continuation of the Lincoln on the Move quarter-cent sales tax is estimated to contribute $18 million annually to improving existing streets and constructing new streets for a projected total investment of $144 million in eight years.

The initiative was first voted on and supported by voters in 2019. On April 8, 2025, voters will return back to the polls to vote on the continuation of Lincoln on the Move. If passed, the program would take effect October 1, 2025 and expire September 30, 2033.

The future of our streets

Going without Lincoln on the Move means a future with fewer street improvements, longer wait times for street projects, and higher street repair costs for everyone as interest rates and material costs climb. Instead of completing 65 projects in six years with Lincoln on the Move funding, it would take the City up to an estimated 22 years to complete the same number of projects without this funding. A future without Lincoln on the Move means the community will experience longer wait times for improvements to existing streets and the community’s growth will slow because there will be limited funds for new streets.

Everyone contributes to funding Lincoln’s streets

Residents, businesses, and visitors who use our city streets contribute to the Lincoln on the Move quarter-cent sales tax and contribute to helping enhance the community’s quality of life. Visitors alone contribute 30-percent of all Lincoln on the Move sales tax funds to improve our streets.
