The measure highlights a $320 million funding gap facing the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and acknowledges the need for sustainable investment to avoid service reductions. The resolution calls for exploration of all policy and funding mechanisms to ensure long-term transit stability. It emphasizes the essential role of transit in climate goals, equity, economic recovery, and regional mobility. The measure follows previous state relief actions and ongoing efforts by local leadership to stabilize and grow transit access.
This resolution addresses a major funding crisis threatening the viability of public transit across the Bay Area. It seeks to preserve essential services while bolstering the region’s long-term transportation infrastructure.
