SamTrans Board of Directors Oppose Proposition 6

Each Board adopted a resolution that expresses strenuous opposition to Proposition 6, which would repeal Senate Bill 1, also known as the “Road Repair and Accountability Act.”  The passage of Proposition 6 would jeopardize the funding needed for execution of SamTrans, Caltrain and SMCTA projects, plus deprive Californians of resources now available from S.B.1 for much-needed improvements in transportation infrastructure and transit systems statewide.

San Mateo County transportation projects in jeopardy of losing funding include: SamTrans’ Express Bus Pilot Project, Linda Mar Park and Ride repavement project and procurement of new electric buses; Caltrain’s Grade Crossing Improvement Project, Bike Parking Program and Electrification project; and the SMCTA’s U.S. 101 Managed Lanes Project.

The San Mateo County Transit District is a member of the Coalition to Protect Local Transportation Improvements, a diverse coalition of local government, business, labor, transportation, and other organizations throughout the State that also are opposed to the repeal of S.B. 1.
