Here it is:
WHEREAS Muni riders deserve a public transporation system that is
reliable, safe and affordable;
WHEREAS Muni has suffered in recent years from neglect and underfunding;
WHEREAS fares have increased over the years with no corresponding
increase in reliability, safety or service;
WHEREAS downtown commercial property owners reap huge economic benefits
from the service provided to downtown;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that it is the policy of Rescue Muni that:
1) There should no increase in fares at this time.
2) There should be no reduction in the current contribution to Muni
from the General Fund.
3) Additional funding for Muni should be provided from the General Fund
if Muni can demonstrate that this funding will result in improved
reliability, increased ridership and better customer satisfaction.
4) The current subsidy in public transportation enjoyed by downtown
commercial property owners should be brought to an end by the
establishment of a downtown transit assessment district.
5) Consideration should be given to providing additional dedicated funding
for Muni from a modest increase in the hotel tax, in light of the
benefits Muni service provides to tourism.
6) Consideration should be given to providing additional dedicated funding
for Muni from some combination of parking taxes, parking fees, parking
fines, meter revenues, gas taxes and auto license fees.
7) San Francisco should actively pursue additional funding for Muni from
the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and from regional, state
and federal sources, including flexibility with regard to operating and
capital funds.
