Bridge Toll
Increase:
Regional Measure 2
|
|
WE DID IT! |
|
On March 2nd, 2004, Bay Area voters approved Regional Measure
2, the $1 bridge toll increase for transit. The toll
increase will
raise $125 million annually for transportation improvements
designed to get commuters onto transit, thereby decreasing
bridge traffic. |
As a coalition, TALC has proposed or strongly
supported many of the projects that will receive funding through
the new bridge toll--a massively expanded express bus system,
seismic retrofit of the BART tube, new NightBART service,
Caltrain downtown extension to a new Transbay terminal, Bus Rapid
Transit service in the East Bay, and a new Safe Routes to Transit
program.

Update: Threat to
Measure 2 Funds is Resolved
In August 2004, Governor Schwarzenegger had proposed to use the
proceeds of Regional Measure 2 to pay for the cost overruns on
the east span of the Bay Bridge. Thanks to all of our calls to
the Governor, he withdrew his proposal.
