But to realize these benefits we need to generate more money than the existing $322M deficit and improve service.

Bus lines like the 49 Van Ness are packed leaving San Franciscans on the curb.

There is clearly a demand for Muni - but service needs to grow to meet it.

A study prepared for the SFMTA showed that for every dollar spent on public transit it will generate $2-3 in economic benefit.

In other words a robust public transit system will save San Franciscans time and money - benefiting the entire city.

Growing and improving Muni will also have benefits for our city’s economy as well.

Downtown rush-hour traffic has returned to pre-pandemic levels despite office attendance being below 50%.

This shift away from transit to cars can cost us hundreds of millions.

In comparison with the city’s proposal…

…it would include exemptions.

…93% of non-residential parcels would be paying less.

…it would GROW service instead of just closing Muni’s $322M deficit when paired with the regional measure.

We are proposing a progressive parcel tax where 85% of parcels would be paying a flat fee. For the rest, there would be additional rates applied only if their improved area - the building’s square feet - exceeds specific brackets.

In the years after the pandemic San Franciscans have seen record inflation, their bus lines cut, fares increased and commutes prolonged.

Our proposal would be fairly funded and generate over $260 million.

When combined with the regional measure it would be enough to grow service.

If we don't take action now, we'll lose critical funding for BART, Muni, Caltrain, and AC Transit. Gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has less than a week to finalize a $750m loan for public transit in the state budget.

S.F. Mayor Daniel Lurie takes first step in crafting Muni ballot measure as transit faces fiscal cliff He's weighing a potential ballot measure that would ask voters to help fund Muni as the beleaguered SFMTA confronts massive budget crisis, likely service cuts.

And two weeks ago, Mayor Lurie announced his plans of a ballot measure for Muni next year. All of this could not have been done without you.

Because of your support, we have reduced the cuts this summer by half. No lines will be removed, no 45-minute headways, and no early shutdowns of Muni Metro. This will keep service running for the hundreds of thousands of riders who use Muni each and every day.

Hi y'all

As you may be aware, last night the SFMTA board voted 4-3 in favor of service cuts this summer to balance this year's budget deficit. While this was not the outcome we were hoping for, the fight for Muni funding is not over. Thank you to everyone who came out, wrote letters, and called in!

While the SFMTA Board voted 3-2 last Tuesday in favor of service cuts, our fight is not over – we will have another opportunity to reject these cuts when they come back to the Board for final approval on April 1st. Win or lose, the fight for sustainable funding for Muni is just getting started.
