Action Minutes - January 5, 1998
1) We discussed BART to SFO and the probabilities of ending BART at a San
Bruno intermodal station with Caltrain, High Speed Rail and the Airport
people mover.
Rescue Muni Positions relative to SPUR proposal:
We support the combination of City transportation functions under a
single Commission to insure the maintenance of the City’s Transit First
Policy. We oppose the formation of an independent Transit Agency to run
Muni. We support maintaining at least the current contribution to Muni
from the General Fund. We support providing additional dedicated funding
for Muni from some combination of parking taxes, parking fees, parking
fines, meter revenues, gas taxes and auto license fees. We support San
Francisco actively pursuing 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
