Vote YES on RTM
A regional transit funding measure will be on the November 2026 ballot. The measure will create a half-cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties and a 1-cent sales tax in San Francisco. The sales tax revenue will support transit operations so Bay Area residents can have the reliable, connected bus and train service they need.

Not only is transit an engine of equity in our increasingly inequitable economy, but it’s also an essential tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting climate change. A stable funding source will save Bay Area transit agencies from the prospect of a fiscal cliff, which could lead to service cuts and 735 million fewer transit trips over the next five years. That adds up to more pollution, more congestion, and higher transportation costs.
Add your name as an endorser of the Connect Bay Area campaign to secure sustainable funding for Bay Area transit.
Tens of thousands of Bay Area residents could lose access to affordable transportation if public transit agencies are forced to cut service. Low income households and residents who can’t drive will be hit hardest.
Bay Area highways already have some of the worst traffic delays in the country, forcing commuters to spend hours sitting in traffic. Without public transit, many delays would double. Funding transit makes life better for everyone.
Every trip via public transit is one less car on the road. Fewer cars mean healthier air, more vibrant communities and fewer traffic deaths.
