Spread the Word! No New Transit Tax

The cost-of-living hit comes first!
The Bay Area already carries some of the highest sales taxes in California, and this measure would push seven Alameda County cities past 11 percent. Sales tax is regressive and falls hardest on working families, renters and anyone living paycheck to paycheck. It taxes what you spend rather than what you earn and applies to cars, appliances, restaurant meals and even gasoline.
Costs have soared, ridership has not recovered, and the region's signature projects have run badly over budget. The full record is HERE.
Before the region asks for another billion dollars a year, look at what it already collects. In fiscal year 2024-25, the Bay Area's transit operators took in roughly $6 billion in tax, toll, and government grant subsidies across the five counties, on top of the fares, parking, and advertising revenue they also keep.
Our position: Bay Area transit already receives about $6 billion of tax and toll money every year. State and local officials should figure out how to get people where they need to go with that money before demanding more.
