Call on state legislators to increase public transit funding across the Bay Area
Resolution 52-25
In Plain English
BART faces a $385 million budget shortfall and AC Transit faces a $60 million annual deficit. Both agencies could cut services and raise fares by 2027 without new funding. If approved, Richmond formally asks state lawmakers to pass transit funding bills that rely on progressive taxes rather than sales taxes.
