SB 63 creates a Public Transit Revenue Measure for five Bay Area counties and now moves to collecting voter signatures. "SB 63 represents a transformative opportunity to invest in the future of public transit," said Carolyn Gonot, VTA general manager and CEO. SB 63 would create a special district across five counties that would allow this regional funding measure to be placed on the November 2026 ballot.
