Outcome
summary
If passed, this resolution would formally endorse Measure RTM (Regional Transit Measure), a ballot initiative proposing a 0.5-1% tax for 14 years across Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and San Francisco counties. It matters to students because it aims to prevent severe service cuts and fare increases by Bay Area public transit agencies, which many UC Berkeley students rely on for commuting. The ASUC encourages students to vote "YES" on Measure RTM on November 3rd, 2026, to ensure continued funding for essential transit services.
