Learn MoreGilbert Streets, Transportation & Infrastructure Bond Overview
In November 2021, Gilbert residents voted on a $515 million general obligation bond to address critical transportation and infrastructure needs across the community. This comprehensive initiative focuses on enhancing public safety, reducing traffic congestion, and modernizing aging transportation infrastructure throughout the town.
Transparency and accountability are paramount in managing public funds. Through our "Your Dollars. Your Gilbert." initiative, we are committed to showing residents exactly how their tax dollars are being invested in the community's infrastructure. On this page, you'll find a detailed list of every project supported by the 2021 voter-approved bond amount, including total project budgets, current status, and the percentage portion funded by bond dollars. Check out this clear, accessible way to follow progress and see how your investment is shaping safer streets, smoother travel, and a stronger quality of life.
As of April 2026, 35% of the total voter-approved bond amount has been spent on completed work. While not all dollars have been used yet, 100% of the voter-approved bond amount has already been allocated to the projects listed below.
*This percentage will be updated on a quarterly basis.
The bond funds five key priority areas:
The safety of our citizens is at the forefront of everything we do in Gilbert. Congestion projects provide added capacity for additional traffic by adding lanes to existing arterial networks, and enhancements for pedestrian and bicycle networks with a focus on increased safety.
Safety & Congestion
This bond would address traffic maintenance issues caused by Gilbert's rapid growth and the traffic system's natural decay. Failing streets and signals will be repaired and roads that are bottlenecking because of the population swell will be widened or reconfigured to allow residents a better path through town.
Reconstruction
Residents and visitors rely on a variety of transportation alternatives to meet their travel needs in our community. By investing in multiple modes of transportation including public transit, accessible transit services, micro-mobility, and bike and pedestrian infrastructure, we can provide a robust network of local and regional transportation solutions.
Multi-Modal
Gilbert is committed to investing in technology that helps improve its current transportation methods and modes while increasing safety. Advance detection safety improvements and strategic fiber optic deployment are just some examples of projects that fall under Transportation Technology.
Technology
Guided by input gathered from residents and businesses in the Heritage District, this bond would assist in redevelopment projects that help address aging and growth issues in this district.

Ongoing Infrastructure Investment
Gilbert's previous transportation bond elections in 2006 and 2007, totaling $249 million, were approved by strong voter support and completed before this November 2021 initiative. As communities grow and infrastructure ages, periodic assessment of bond needs ensures Gilbert maintains adequate funding to meet critical infrastructure demands and continue delivering the safe, efficient transportation network our residents deserve.
