The Bay Area and the One Plan to Rebuild California
– Vote yes on Props 1A, 1B all the way through 1E

One simple plan, one powerful idea: Build it now. Set something aside to pay over the long term – without raising taxes.

Like the rest of California, the Bay Area’s economy depends on good schools, good roads, safe homes and clean drinking water – and we need to invest in our infrastructure to keep our economy sound.

One plan that delivers for the Bay Area:

• Improve the 101, 580 and 880 freeways
• Add a fourth bore to the Caldecott Tunnel
• Expand Muni, Caltrain and Bart
• Safe homes for seniors and victims of domestic violence
• Make our schools earthquake safe
• Protect our supply of clean drinking water

One plan everyone supports. Business and Labor. Democrats and Republicans. North and South. Everyone agrees it’s time for one comprehensive plan for infrastructure – the one plan to Rebuild California.

Traffic and Transportation

Prop. 1A: By closing a legal loophole to prevent the diversion of gasoline sales taxes, the Bay Area stands to gain a stable source of long-term transportation funding. A portion of these funds would be distributed directly to cities for local transportation needs, including millions of dollars a year to San Francisco and surrounding cities and counties.

Prop. 1B: The San Francisco region stands to gain a significant share of this $20 billion effort to expand and repair our most dangerous and congested highways, fund public transit and reduce air pollution.

The Bay Area’s fair share: the Rebuild California Plan would provide each region a fair share for regional improvements and local projects, including nearly $3 billion for regional transportation projects in the Bay Area.

• $1.3 billion to the region’s transit operators to expand service, replace buses and train cars, and modernize transit systems throughout the Bay Area.

• $270 million in STIP funds for the region’s priority transit and highway projects.

• $155 million for the nine counties in the Bay Area to fix their local streets and roads.

• $160 million to the Bay Area cities for their local transportation priorities, including filling pot holes and resurfacing neighborhood streets.

• $1 billion to improve the Bay Area’s trade routes, like Highways 880 and 580.

In addition to these funds, the Bay Area is well positioned to compete for funding available statewide to improve safety and reduce congestion on major highway corridors including:

• $1 billion for transit security and disaster preparedness.

• $4.5 billion for high-priority highway improvements, like the 101 in the North Bay, 580, 680 and 880 in the East Bay.

• $1 billion for self help counties, 7 of which are in the Bay Area.

Housing and Emergency Shelter

The Bay Area is expected to receive at least $500 million to fund emergency shelter and housing programs, which would leverage millions more in private, federal and local matching funds and build about 12,800 affordable homes and emergency shelter spaces.

In addition, the Bay Area is well positioned to receive a share of $1.15 billion in funding available to help communities build more homes closer to job centers and train and public transit stations to ease congestion long term.

Schools

The Rebuild California Plan would provide the Bay Area with a share of $7.3 billion to build new schools and repair or expand overcrowded or dilapidated school buildings. State funds pay for half the cost of each new school, and 60 percent of the funding for each major repair and renovation project.

The plan includes $500 million to help build new charter schools, and $500 million to help local schools provide career and technical education.

In addition, the Rebuild California Plan provides $3 billion to repair and expand community colleges and universities such as Cal State Hayward and UC Berkeley.

Water Supply and Flood Control

The Rebuild California Plan helps protect California’s supply of clean drinking water by providing $3 billion to repair and reinforce river levees in and around California’s Central Valley – one of the two largest sources of drinking water to the state.

In addition, the Bay Area would receive a share of $500 million set aside for local flood control projects and $300 million to help manage storm runoff that can pollute local streams and rivers, as well as the Pacific Ocean.
