Signature Gathering Begins for Multi-Billion-Dollar Bay Area Transit Measure

The measure aims to raise $1 billion annually through a regional sales tax to prevent transit cuts and support five Bay Area counties, with 59% voter support in a recent poll.

Summary by Berkeleyside
If advocates gather 186,000 signatures across the Bay Area, a half-cent sales tax proposal will appear on the November ballot. Passage would mean an infusion of cash for BART, AC Transit, and other mass transit agencies.
