"The transit agencies are taking steps to reduce costs – and this measure requires them to implement even greater efficiencies – but they can’t cut their way out of this crisis. Additional revenue is needed to stabilize the transit agency budgets" @elubin9 @Connect_BayArea bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…

BART provides essential access to medical care for many Bay Area families, which will disappear if we can't secure funding through the @Connect_BayArea measure. oaklandside.org/2026/05/26/d…

My daughter needed a liver transplant to save her life. BART is key to her ongoing care

A campaign committee is gathering signatures to qualify the sales tax measure in five Bay Area counties. The revenue would support Caltrain, the commuter rail line from San Francisco to the Silicon Valley, as well as local bus and light-rail networks.

[Voters in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties would be asked to add an extra 0.5% to their sales tax rates. Those in SF will be asked to approve 1% that would also help Muni, which desperately needs money to run local buses, trains and streetcars.]
