A new San Francisco ballot measure to fund Muni Service & Affordability.

The ComMUNIty Transit Act is a community-led ballot initiative to increase funding for Muni. Revenue from a new business tax on ride-hail companies will be used to prevent Muni service cuts and improve Muni access to public schools, libraries, and parks. It can also be used to fund discount programs for youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes.

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% and goes up to 4.5% at most. The tax does not apply to ride-share drivers.
