Campaign to fund Bay Area transit (SB63 sales tax measure) smashes signature goal

The grassroots campaign to qualify a regional transit funding measure (SB63) for the November ballot has exceeded its signature gathering target – 305k signatures secured with 1,000+ volunteers. A broad coalition of volunteers, businesses, and labor unions is driving the effort. A fiscal-efficiency review requirement aims to address voter skepticism. The measure is critical for transit-dependent underserved communities.
