Faith Based Measure - SF's Proposition A is a deceptive ballot measure VOTE NO

This measure does not legally obligate the SFMTA to do anything specific!

Unlike other bond measures, Prop A’s legal language makes no
commitment as to how the funds will be allocated.

On the contrary, the official Bond ordinance says: “Projects to be funded
under the proposed Bond may include but are not limited to…”.

And that is giving a virtual blank check to the SFMTA!

Does the SFMTA Merit this Trust?

Not if the recent past is any guide! Whether keeping vehicles on time,
maintaining neighborhood service or meeting budgets, SFMTA has failed
and continues to fail to keep its commitments. Prop A will not restore past
service cuts that are already hurting low-income families, the disabled,
seniors, youth and neighborhoods throughout San Francisco.

Under Prop A, the SFMTA’s “Transit Effectiveness Project” will make still
more neighborhood cuts by diverting service to favored “high-use”
corridors.

Prop A would raise Property Taxes and Rents

If Prop A passes, it would raise property taxes and rents to levels
significantly higher than they would otherwise be.

A Better Way

SFMTA should be working from a carefully-developed plan geared to
addressing San Francisco’s most critical transportation needs. It should
not be permitted to dole out $500 million haphazardly in response to
pressure from assorted benefiting groups.
