The 2026 Legislative Program establishes principles to guide the San Mateo County Transit District's legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts through the 2026 calendar year. The program focuses on three primary objectives: maintaining and enhancing funding opportunities for transit projects and services, seeking a regulatory environment that streamlines project delivery to meet transportation demands, and reinforcing programs that incentivize public transportation ridership and improve safe and quality transportation choices. These objectives address key issues including budget and transportation funding, project requests and needs, and regulatory, legislative, and administrative actions.
