Taxable goods are going to be more expensive in Truckee starting Oct. 1.

Voters in June approved Measure R, which increases the sales tax from 8.125 percent to 8.375 percent. The additional tax is designed to raise $10 million in 10 years that will be used for trails in the area. The bulk would go for new trails, with some money being held onto for maintenance.

Truckee’s master plan calls for 29 miles of paved trails and 39 miles of dirt trails. To date the town has 15 miles of paved and 14 miles of dirt trails.

Consumers will pay 25 cents more for every $100 they spend.
