However, the region's infrastructure is based on pre-1960's m odels unable to keep pace w/ population & econom ic growth. Com m ute tim es are crippling the Bay Area economy and productivity, causing residents to lose 116 hours annually to their commute. 2 Key Public Opinion Research Findings ● Residents recognize the transportation challenges facing the region ● Voters are seeking a m odern, reliable, and accessible transit system that connects the Bay Area ● Conceptual willingness to raise taxes for transportation investments is above two- thirds ● Differences in support between funding mechanisms are slight, and within the m argin of error ● A regional measure is viable in the right environment; however, organized and funded opposition will likely result in defeat 3 FASTER Principles ● Prioritize the development and implementation of a true regional transit system ● Provide freedom of access, mobility, and a true alternative to driving alone ● Solve for existing barriers - including affordability, speed, reliability, and ability to access t h e syst em ● Support economic development: transit allows new areas for housing and business development throughout the 9 counties ● Reduce climate emissions and adapt to a changing environment 4 Leadership Group Vision ● Bay Area residents deserve a world-class, in t eg rat ed , seam less t ran sit syst em t h at connects and extends BART, Caltrain, the Altamont Commuter Express, SF Muni, VTA Light Rail, SMART, Am trak, the Capitol Corridors, Ferries, Bikes and buses; to provide reliable, safe and efficient service for those who are transit dependent, and com pelling enough to lure those of us who are current car com m uters out of our autom obiles. 5 Outreach Touch Points Recurring Meetings ● Operators and County Transportation Agencies ● M TC ● Local Transportation Leaders and Stakeholders ● Business Leaders ● Equity and Transit Coalition ● Labor ● Environmental Groups Public Outreach ● Outreach forum s in fall 2019 ● Board presentations ● Su rvey 6 Feedback from Outreach to Date ● Focus on t ran sit ● Walk and bicycle access ● Integrate public transit system ● Use e m e rg in g m o b ilit ie s t o into one fast, user-frie n d ly provide flexible transportation system ● Funding for climate adaptation ● Regional express buses running on fast express lanes ● Discount fares 7 Funding Mechanism Based on our research, the One Cent Sales Tax generated substantial funding, has the flexibility to fund operations, is politically viable, and is a funding source that has historically garnered broad support for transportation investments in the Bay Area. It is expected to generate $100.6 billion over 40 years. 8 Funding Mechanism Pros ● Use of
