1/ Glad to see a hold on #SB532, a half-baked bandaid that didn’t address what #BART needs for L/T sustainability: cost-efficient operations, independent #oversight, #labor contracts do-over and metrics for safe, clean, reliable #transit. https://t.co/k1RLFEFWPp

Glad to see the pause on #SB532 bridge toll increase. Sole focus now must be on reforming and reinventing transit to reflect new fiscal and operational realities and demands of riders for safe, convenient and seamless service.

Update: S.F. state Sen. Scott Wiener, author of the bridge toll proposal, has abandoned effort to pass the increase during this legislative session. Will work with one of the bill's opponents to explore options for new transit funding. https://t.co/4EYLlXgshW #SB532 #transit

LYDEB is proud to endorse #SB532, introduced by Senator @Scott_Wiener, which would raise the Bay Area’s bridge tolls by $1.50 for five years and require at least 90% of the revenues to be used to maintain public transit service at current levels!

Okay @RepDeSaulnier, if #SB532 doesn’t pass then what are *your* solutions to prevent a Bay Area transit death spiral, *now*, which low income individuals who have already been priced out of car ownership also depend on as lifeline transportation? Don’t just oppose. Propose!

Proposed bridge tolls in CA would disproportionately impact working people in the Bay Area without providing a long-term solution for public transit issues. @RepannaEshoo & I raised these concerns with CA leaders to ensure fairness for Bay Area residents. https://t.co/xrGEbKnmQf

I’m on edge of seat waiting for what “accountability and performance measures” ⁦@SFBART⁩ mgmt will propose. Structural deficits ($300M+) have been ongoing since 2020 and are planned to be the new normal. #SB532: drivers pay for mis-mgmt. #JustSayNo https://t.co/fBAfO3DBFQ

Our statement on bombshell letter from Congressional Representatives decrying errant #SB532 bridge toll increase. Thank you @RepDeSaulnier @RepAnnaEshoo for standing up for lower-income commuters who would be unfairly burdened https://t.co/ulk53CWvZl

#SB532 bridge toll increase not in the best interest of Bay Area residents and hasn't been properly evaluated, say @RepDeSaulnier @RepAnnaEshoo @RepGaramendi @RepBarbaraLee @RepSwalwell @RepThompson @RepLindaSanchez. Read their letter: https://t.co/CPRmNdfd4I

Here we go... @RepDeSaulnier @RepSwalwell @RepGaramendi @RepAnnaEshoo expressed their concerns about #SB532, a bill that would raise tolls by $1.50 on seven Bay Area bridges in 2024 and unfairly impact Bay Area residents. https://t.co/LQ1lp1Q3SU

Pre-2020, Bay Area transit relied on fares for a larger % of the budget vs. the rest of CA, which is why the Bay Area needs this extra boost from #SB532. Send a letter to your legislator at https://t.co/mEkwK5Lx8R

Let's pass #SB532! Bay Area transit needs a little more funding. State budget provided some, a temporary (5 year) $1.50 bridge toll covers the rest. There will be an equity program to minimize impacts to low income commuters. Make a call, use link below! https://t.co/WmKwEt0CtG

This was one of several highlights of today’s emergency special @SFBART board meeting announced Wednesday afternoon to take a board vote to support #SB532 to increase bay area bridge tolls for funding transit. Support position passed on a 6-2 vote.

Out of @SFBART With a straight face: “I reject phrasing of spending arrogance when I believe we have one of the best financial and performance teams of any transit agency in California," said @BevanDufty in response to @debora_allen1.

Where does the other 10% of #SB532 $$ go? It's at MTC's discretion to use for expanding service, funding initiatives to "transform transit service" or make specific safety, security, reliability or cleanliness improvements. No mention of ongoing financial oversight funding.

#SB532 gives the $1.50 per vehicle (adjusted annually for inflation) to MTC to distribute 90% of the $$ based on the 5-year internal projections of the transit agencies in need. There are NO audit requirements of the projections or MTC's allocations.
