A new San Francisco ballot measure to fund Muni Service & Affordability.
The ComMUNIty Transit Act is a community-led ballot initiative to prevent Muni service cuts, improve Muni access to public schools, libraries, and parks, and fund fare discount programs for youth, seniors, people with disabilities and people with low incomes. The measure will add a new business tax on ride-hail companies to fund Muni service.
To get on the ballot, we’ll need people like you to help gather signatures, organize, and get the word out!

How Funding Is Used
Revenues from the tax are allocated to the SFMTA, and can only be used for Muni – specifically for:
Preventing Muni service cuts and expanding Muni service
Improving Muni access to parks, libraries and schools, by increasing route frequency, expanding routes or adding new routes
Sustaining and improving discount programs for youth, seniors, people with disabilities and people with low incomes.
What the Tax is
The tax is an additional gross receipts tax on revenue that ride-hail platforms and self-driving car ride services make within the city. The tax starts at 1.5% and goes up to 4.5% at most. The tax does not apply to ride-share drivers.
