Advocates in the San Francisco Bay Area are pressing residents to vote for Prop RTM, a regional ballot measure funding public transit. Supporters warn that if the measure fails, transit services will face severe cuts with knock-on effects on traffic and the wider economy, even for people who never ride buses or trains. SPUR, a Bay Area policy think tank, has published research backing the case for the measure.

Why now: The measure is on the ballot and supporters are mobilizing voters ahead of the election.
