Love seeing Muni and BART with the highest rail ridership growth in the US.

If we pass @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure, ridership growth will continue.

If we don’t, service will be slashed and ridership will plummet - Bay Area way of life and economy will crumble.

We must pass this measure!

Loved joining El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll last night to gather signatures for the @connectbayarea.bsky.social campaign at El Cerrito Plaza BART.

Lots of BART riders had signed already and many who hadn’t were eager to sign.

BART: The worst-case scenarios are actually worse than you’ve heard If voters spurn a November revenue measure, the biggest question isn't what stations BART may close. It's if BART will continue to exist, full-stop.

If the regional transit measure doesn’t qualify and then pass at the ballot this November, BART will be facing the feared ‘transit death spiral’.

Connect Bay Area organizers pushing for sales tax to fund public transit The solution proponents hope to put before voters is $1 billion in yearly funding for public transit, through a half-cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties, and a one-cent sales tax in San Francisco.

Bay Area transit is at a crossroads. SB 63 aims to secure $1B yearly to prevent major service cuts, but debate continues over new taxes vs efficiency. With 186,000+ signatures needed by June 3, the debate is clear: act now, or risk a system many rely on.

Those in San Francisco would be asked to approve a full percentage point that would also help Muni, which desperately needs money to run the city’s local buses, subway trains and street cars.

Voters in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties would be asked to add an extra half a percentage point to their sales tax rates.

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.

BART could close these 15 stations if new funding isn't secured BART officials warn that without a new revenue source, the agency may be forced to close 15 of its stations and reduce train frequency.

BART's plans would include service cuts, laying off 1,200 workers, and station closures if the @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure fails.

Gather signatures with us to make sure the measure gets on the ballot this November! luma.com/connectbayarea.

Buried deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART is an all-out nuclear scenario called “Phase 3”: Shut the rail system down altogether.

[If voters fail to support Connect Bay Area...] Within two years, BART’s stations would be empty, its track sitting idle.

BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service Hidden deep in the contingency plan to slash costs at BART if voters decline to bail out the rail agency is an all-out nuclear scenario called Phase 3: Shut the rail system down altogether.

The @sfchronicle.com reports that BART’s cost-cutting plan risks a ‘death spiral’ that could end all train service if voters decline to fund public transit via the Connect Bay Area ballot measure in November.
