Mobilize the Bay!
Voices for Public Transportation is a coalition of community groups, transit advocates, unions, and policy organizations working to pass a game-changing regional measure to invest in our transit system so that all Bay Area residents can get around affordably and easily while protecting the climate.
Take Action
Right now, the Legislature is considering Senate Bill 63 (SB 63), which would authorize a five-county ballot measure to raise money for our transit agencies. As written, it only authorizes a sales tax. But data actually shows that a gross receipts tax on the top 2% of businesses will in fact raise more money than a sales tax, while not asking everyday people like you to pay more. Bay Area Forward's polling shows that a gross receipts tax has significantly higher support than a sales tax. All we are asking the legislature to do is add the option for a gross receipts tax to SB 63. But they need to hear from YOU.
