We’ve gathered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot!

We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve now gathered over 17,500 signatures from San Franciscans who want to fund Muni! This exceeds our goal of 16,000. We need just over 10,000 valid signatures from registered San Francisco voters and our sizable buffer will help ensure that the ComMUNIty Transit Act gets on the November ballot.

We gathered signatures in every corner of the city to reach this goal, having tens of thousands of conversations with San Franciscans about Muni, the importance of public transit, and how our measure helps address the upcoming deficit. We could not be prouder of our over 130 volunteers who gathered signatures, as well as the hard work of our paid signature gatherers and other campaign allies and volunteers—and we’re just getting started.

Over 130 volunteers have gathered signatures to help get the ComMUNIty Transit Act on the November ballot.

The ComMUNIty Transit Act will bring Muni up to an estimated $30M in revenue per year, by adding a gross receipts tax on ride-hail companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Waymo. Because ride-hail services bring traffic congestion to the city, slowing all road users including transit, our measure is a way for them to give back and pay their fair share.

Our measure won’t close the full budget gap, which the city has estimated at $220M per year starting in 2027. But it’s an important part of the solution—both as a new long-term source of revenue for Muni, and as one whose revenues will start flowing in mid-2025, before a larger, regional transit funding measure is hopefully brought to Bay Area voters in 2026.

Our campaign gathered over 17,500 signatures, one at a time. That’s tens of thousands of conversations with San Francisco voters about funding Muni–and we’re just getting started.

We’re more committed than ever to the goal of preventing Muni service cuts as much as possible. Staff reductions and service cuts would be harmful to our city’s economic recovery, traffic and parking availability, street safety, climate resilience, and day-to-day livability for people of all incomes, ages, and abilities. As we head into the next phase of our campaign, in which we’ll be working to connect with as many San Francisco voters as possible in pursuit of this goal, we’re asking you to join us.

If you have money to donate, it would be an enormous help toward winning in November. And if you have skills or time to share, or just want to receive periodic updates from our campaign, please let us know. As a grassroots campaign, you’ll make our success possible.

Thank you, San Francisco! We’ll see you on the bus.
