To improve the quality of life and sustain the economy, Regional Measure 3 (RM 3) invests in projects that will reduce congestion and enhance travel options in the Bay Area’s seven state-owned bridge corridors as provided in Sections 1 and 7 of Senate Bill 595 (Beall, 2017). If approved by a majority of all voters in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties and the City and County of San Francisco, RM 3 will implement the Bay Area Traffic Relief Plan (the Plan), a set of 35 projects and programs to reduce auto and truck traffic; relieve crowding on BART; unclog freeway bottlenecks; improve bus, ferry, BART and commuter rail service; and enhance bicycle and pedestrian mobility in the bridge corridors. The Bay Area Traffic Relief Plan The Plan includes • Enhances passenger rail by adding new Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) cars; extending BART, Caltrain 35 projects and and Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority (VTA) light rail to jobs and regional transit hubs; and programs to relieve expanding Diridon Station to accommodate BART, Caltrain, Amtrak and future high-speed rail. traffic and enhance • Funds highway traffic bottleneck relief throughout the region, including improvements to interchanges public transit in in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and Solano counties; an expansion of express lanes; enhancements to bridge corridors. the Dumbarton Bridge corridor; and the addition of new carpool lanes on U.S. Highway 101 in Marin and Sonoma counties. • Funds additional transit enhancements in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge corridor, including new express bus and ferry service, Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) bus rapid transit expansion in the East Bay, replacement and expansion of San Francisco Muni’s aging transit fleet, and transit enhancements in the Tri-Valley on Interstate 580. • Provides more frequent ferry service on existing routes and expansion to new locations, such as Berkeley, Mission Bay (San Francisco), Redwood City and Seaplane Lagoon (Alameda), as determined by the RM 3 proposes a San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority. major capital • Invests in projects to reduce truck traffic and emissions associated with trucks accessing the Port of Oakland. investment of $4.5 billion to relieve • Supports an upgrade to the region’s transit fare payment system, Clipper®. traffic congestion and • The Plan is financed by a $1 increase in tolls on all Bay Area toll bridges except the Golden Gate Bridge improve travel effective January 1, 2019, a $1 toll increase effective January 1, 2022, and a $1 toll increase effective through the Bay Area’s January 1, 2025. state-owned bridge corridors. RM 3 – Page 5 Regional Measure 3 Introduction History of Bridge Tolls Bridges serve as essential links in the Bay Area’s transportation network. They sustain the flow of people and goods and the overall economic health of the region. The tolls charged on the seven state-owned toll bridges– the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo-Hayward and San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridges–are used not just to keep the bridges in working order but also to make sure that transportation facilities and transit service in the bridge corridors can accommodate future traffic and population growth. Bridge tolls have been used to fund bridge replacement, transportation improvements that help reduce congestion in the bridge corridors and necessary seismic strengthening of the bridges.
