PROP L: TAX CORPORATIONS TO FUND MUNI

San Francisco is rated as one of the top cities for public transit. People depend on Muni to commute to work, to get to school, and to see their families and friends. Public transit is a better option for our environment, helping us keep harmful carbon emissions out of our air by taking more cars off the road. But with a looming budget deficit for SFMTA (The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency) starting in 2026, Muni is in crisis.

The ComMUNIty Transit Act would prevent service cuts to Muni and add new routes to better connect community members to public schools, libraries, and parks. The funding from this measure could also be used to continue and expand discount programs for youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes.

The measure would raise the money needed to fund Muni through a tax on ride-hail platform companies in the city, like Uber, Lyft, and Waymo. This would generate approximately $20 million-$30 million a year, closing the gap of what Muni needs not just to stay afloat, but for us to improve the service and better connect community members to neighborhoods in San Francisco.

It’s time that wealthy corporations start paying their fair share and funding programs that benefit our communities. Vote YES this November to fund Muni! More information here.
