Measure RTM and Bay Area Transit Funding

Measure RTM and Bay Area Transit Funding

Proposed Measure RTM would provide $1 billion annually for 14 years to BART, AC Transit, and other transit systems across five counties. Agencies face projected deficits and possible service and station cuts; claims of 70% BART service loss and 30 station closures need independent verification. Clarify ballot timing, allocations, oversight, and tax impacts, including consequences for vulnerable riders; MTC-ABAG has started the Plan Bay Area 2060 update.
