ferries)• Peninsula
(BART, Caltrain,SamTrans)
• East Bay Suburban• Marin/Sonoma

10% market share• Other employer strategies like
parking cash-out

Unfinished Business
1. Address $40B shortfall for highway, transit and local road repair
2. Improve transit performance – smarter service, fewer systems, sustainable funding
3. Reform federal transportation law as recommended by National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission
