The future of Muni is on the line
Help get sustainable and fair Muni funding on the ballot this year.
San Francisco’s beloved Muni transit system is facing a $307 million funding gap – a shortfall that threatens the reliability, frequency, and accessibility of the service 500,000+ riders depend on every day.
Without action, significant service cuts are inevitable.
The plan to protect Muni
Closing this gap requires a two-part solution, and both measures must pass. If either one fails, Muni will still face major cuts.
1. A local, progressive parcel tax
Tiered parcel tax with differing rates for single-family, multifamily, and non-residential parcels that would generate ~$160M for Muni operations. Smaller parcels pay less, larger parcels pay more.
2. A regional, 5-county sales tax
Regional sales tax that funds transit operations for the four largest operators facing fiscal cliff – Muni, BART, Caltrain, AC Transit – and all other agencies in the five counties that generates ~$170M to fund Muni.

That means gathering enough signatures fast – we only have through May to qualify for the November ballot. The window is short, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
