Santa Barbara County is blessed with a dynamic, and diverse economy. From business services, tourism, and value-added agriculture; to oil and gas; aerospace, high-tech, and tribal gaming; Santa Barbara county residents enjoy a good balance of economic drivers, and comparable advantages. We believe government should do what is necessary to help empower each and all of these important sectors.
Since 1956, SBCTA has played a vital role in promoting the type of public policies that will help these sectors thrive. Sensible land-use regulations, a smart balance of executive, workforce, and affordable housing, well maintained transportation infrastructure, well-funded neighborhood k-12 schools...and fully funded public safety and law enforcement agencies are all critical to our county's success. We invite you to join us in supporting the valuable work we do.
