This document outlines the Connect Bay Area Local Investment Plan, a strategy developed by Samtrans for allocating approximately $700 million in local 'return-to-source' funding within San Mateo County. This funding is contingent on the approval of a 14-year regional sales tax measure in November 2026, intended to stabilize public transportation funding across the Bay Area and prevent service reductions. The plan prioritizes investments in four key areas: protecting current transit services, improving the passenger experience, expanding access to public transportation for underserved communities, and repairing and maintaining outdated transit infrastructure. The overarching vision is to ensure fiscal stability and foster a reliable, accessible, and efficient public transit system.
