Prioritize Transit Reform Before New Taxes

Supervisors Are Opening the Door to a Major Sales Tax Increase

Yesterday, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve ‘in concept’ a proposed regional sales tax increase (SB 63), introduced by Scott Weiner and co-authored by Assembly member Catherine Stefani (D-San Francisco). This measure seeks to implement a .5% - 1% sales tax on the ballot in 2026, on top of the already high sales tax San Franciscans pay. The aim? To bail out MUNI and further subsidize BART without any requirement to fix what's broken.

If passed, San Francisco could potentially carry the largest share of this tax—permanently—despite SFMTA's failure to demonstrate fiscal responsibility or basic operational competence.

💸 More taxes. Still no accountability.

Dear Supervisors, Senator Wiener, and Assembly Member Stefani:*

Dear Supervisors, Senator Wiener, and Assembly Member Stefani:&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;As a resident of your district, I urge you to champion what San Franciscans are truly ready to support: a functional, reliable, and efficient MUNI system that puts riders first. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We all want great public transit. But that means making accountability and operational reform a top priority—before asking voters to consider new, permanent funding sources like the regional sales tax increase proposed under SB 63.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Without a clear plan to restore public trust and improve basic service, this measure will fall into the same category as others that have failed at the ballot box. Voters want to say yes to transit—but only when they see results.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Please lead the way by ensuring any new funding is tied to measurable service improvements, fiscal responsibility, transparency and that the funds are reserved ONLY for MUNI transit services and nothing else. Let’s fix what’s broken before adding more to the bill.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Thank you for your service and for standing with San Franciscans who rely on this system every day.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Thank you,&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;
