Measure 2 asks voters in seven Bay Area counties - <br /> Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Solano - to inspect <br /> and approve a sensible, long-term traffic congestion relief plan funded by a new $1 toll on the <br /> seven state-owned Bay Area Bridges (not including the Golden Gate). <br /> With voter approval, Measure 2 will generate nearly $4 billion for projects including: <br /> Expanding BART and commuter rail service around the Bay and to San Jose and Eastern <br /> Contra Costa County. <br /> Improving the Transbay Terminal Project in San Francisco to connect BART, MUNI and <br /> express bus service to Caltraln and other Peninsula transit systems. <br /> Expanding Caltrain service along the Peninsula, and new service over a rehabilitated <br /> Dumbarton rail bridge connecting BART, Caltrain, Capitol Corridor and ACE. <br /> Seamless connections and unified fares over the entire expanded regional transit <br /> network. <br /> Improving freeway bottlenecks, including the 1-80/1-680 interchange in Solano County and <br /> the new Benicia Bridge. <br /> Expanding Golden Gate Express Bus services. <br /> Building a fourth bore in the Caldecott tunnel. <br /> Creating a regional express bus system over carpool lanes. <br /> Expanding ferry service throughout the Bay Area. <br /> Measure 2 requires all new bridge toll revenue to be used for the projects specified in the voter <br /> handbooks. Politicians can't raid the money to use for other purposes like backfilling othe~ <br /> budget deficits. <br /> To join our list of supporters or for more information visit us at: www.Measure2.ora <br />
