His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically.

That finding would mean those drivers’ weekly exposure to higher tolls would be limited to a single $1.50 charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis also found just a small fraction of bridge users — 8% — cross more than one bridge per trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, SPUR said a side-by-side comparison of bridge users and BART passengers shows that, in general, those driving over the bridges have significantly higher incomes than people taking the train. At the same time, BART customers are more likely to be traveling to work than those crossing the toll bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken as a whole, SPUR says the analysis shows that those who drive across the bridges are more likely to be able to absorb the cost of the higher bridge tolls while lower-income transit users, like those who use BART, would lose out if a lack of funding forces agencies to slash service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis is based on modeling by Replica, a big-data firm with offices in Oakland that used census, toll payment, cell phone, credit card and other public and private information to create a “synthetic representation” of travel patterns.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Sebastian Petty, transportation policy manager, SPUR\"]‘When you’re looking at the bridge and the people driving across it, a lot of those folks are not engaged in their day-to-day commute … It’s people making regional trips, people making occasional work trips, people going to the airport, people visiting, shopping.’[/pullquote]Sebastian Petty, transportation policy manager at SPUR, said in an interview he was surprised at the high number of drivers who make a toll crossing just once a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re looking at the bridge and the people driving across it, a lot of those folks are not engaged in their day-to-day commute,” he said. “Certainly many of them are, but it’s not as though, you know, 80 out of 100 cars are doing their day-to-day commute trip. It’s people making regional trips, people making occasional work trips, people going to the airport, people visiting, shopping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Petty said the data in the report suggest a number of ways SB 532 could be amended to reduce the impact on lower-income drivers who make more frequent trips across the toll bridges. One way to do that, he said, was to cap the number of weekly toll crossings for which individual drivers would be charged the extra $1.50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you wanted to make sure that you weren’t over cost-burdening lower-income folks who are working an in-person job and need to show up five days a week, you could still capture a significant majority of the bridge traffic if you were to cap the toll at something like a maximum of three crossings per week,” Petty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, drivers who must use two or more bridges could be given a “long-distance discount” and only charged for one toll crossing per trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 532 would hike tolls by $1.50 for five years starting next Jan. 1. Sen. Wiener says the increase would raise as much as $900 million for Bay Area transit operators who face major deficits beginning in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters include BART, AC Transit, public transportation advocacy groups, environmental activists, nine YIMBY chapters and the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. Seven state lawmakers from the region have signed on to the bill as co-authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener has acknowledged the equity issue posed by the proposed toll increases and has amended his bill to direct the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to devise a program over the next two years to reduce the hike’s impact on lower-income drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that amendment has done little to soften the opposition from some elected officials. In addition to the seven House members who raised objections to the bill, several state lawmakers, mostly from outlying parts of the Bay Area, have also said \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/bay-area-lawmakers-oppose-raising-bridge-tolls-18176112.php\">they’re against the toll increase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the chief concerns is that the $1.50 toll increase will come on top of a series of other increases \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672904/bay-area-bridge-toll-increase-appears-headed-for-passage\">approved by Bay Area voters in 2018\u003c/a>. Regional Measure 3 has raised tolls on the Antioch, Benicia, Carquinez, Richmond-San Rafael, Bay, San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges to $7 over the last several years. If SB 532 passes, the rate will go up to $8.50 in January.

Besides expressing concerns about the higher tolls’ impact on lower-income drivers, the group has insisted that public transit agencies must improve performance on a range of issues — including public safety, cleanliness, reliability and offering more “seamless” service for passengers — before new public funding is approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the council’s attention has been focused on BART, with the group issuing several calls in recent months for the agency to toughen enforcement of passenger conduct rules and to speed up installation of a new generation of fare gates to deter those who enter the system without paying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has responded by approving a 22% pay increase for its police force, a step meant to retain officers and help fill nearly 30 vacant positions in its Police Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And ahead of a crucial Assembly Appropriations Committee vote on SB 532 this week, BART General Manager Robert Powers will host a ride-along with Sen.

The Bay Area Council, a group counting 300 businesses and institutions as members, has also \u003ca href=\"https://www.bayareacouncil.org/transportation/seven-bay-area-congressional-representatives-decry-bridge-toll-increase-as-not-in-best-interests-of-residents/\">expressed similar displeasure \u003c/a>with the toll increase bill, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB532\">SB 532\u003c/a>, by state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many employees now have the advantage to do their work from home,” the letter concluded. “There are others, the working people of the Bay Area, that don’t share this advantage, and the proposed toll hike comes straight out of their wallets.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/news/2023-08-16/who-will-be-helped-and-harmed-proposed-toll-increase-bay-area-bridges\">a new analysis from SPUR\u003c/a>, a regional planning and public policy think tank, challenges some of the assumptions behind that argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23919428/spur-analysis-who-will-be-helped-and-harmed-by-a-proposed-toll-increase-for-bay-area-bridges.pdf\">a report (PDF)\u003c/a> released this week, SPUR said a study of traffic patterns on the region’s seven state-owned bridges shows that two-thirds of drivers make just one toll crossing a week. That finding would mean those drivers’ weekly exposure to higher tolls would be limited to a single $1.50 charge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis also found just a small fraction of bridge users — 8% — cross more than one bridge per trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally, SPUR said a side-by-side comparison of bridge users and BART passengers shows that, in general, those driving over the bridges have significantly higher incomes than people taking the train. At the same time, BART customers are more likely to be traveling to work than those crossing the toll bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taken as a whole, SPUR says the analysis shows that those who drive across the bridges are more likely to be able to absorb the cost of the higher bridge tolls while lower-income transit users, like those who use BART, would lose out if a lack of funding forces agencies to slash service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis is based on modeling by Replica, a big-data firm with offices in Oakland that used census, toll payment, cell phone, credit card and other public and private information to create a “synthetic representation” of travel patterns.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘When you’re looking at the bridge and the people driving across it, a lot of those folks are not engaged in their day-to-day commute … It’s people making regional trips, people making occasional work trips, people going to the airport, people visiting, shopping.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"align":"right","size":"medium","citation":"Sebastian Petty, transportation policy manager, SPUR","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Sebastian Petty, transportation policy manager at SPUR, said in an interview he was surprised at the high number of drivers who make a toll crossing just once a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re looking at the bridge and the people driving across it, a lot of those folks are not engaged in their day-to-day commute,” he said. “Certainly many of them are, but it’s not as though, you know, 80 out of 100 cars are doing their day-to-day commute trip. It’s people making regional trips, people making occasional work trips, people going to the airport, people visiting, shopping.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Petty said the data in the report suggest a number of ways SB 532 could be amended to reduce the impact on lower-income drivers who make more frequent trips across the toll bridges. One way to do that, he said, was to cap the number of weekly toll crossings for which individual drivers would be charged the extra $1.50.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you wanted to make sure that you weren’t over cost-burdening lower-income folks who are working an in-person job and need to show up five days a week, you could still capture a significant majority of the bridge traffic if you were to cap the toll at something like a maximum of three crossings per week,” Petty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, drivers who must use two or more bridges could be given a “long-distance discount” and only charged for one toll crossing per trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 532 would hike tolls by $1.50 for five years starting next Jan. 1. Sen. Wiener says the increase would raise as much as $900 million for Bay Area transit operators who face major deficits beginning in 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters include BART, AC Transit, public transportation advocacy groups, environmental activists, nine YIMBY chapters and the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley. Seven state lawmakers from the region have signed on to the bill as co-authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener has acknowledged the equity issue posed by the proposed toll increases and has amended his bill to direct the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to devise a program over the next two years to reduce the hike’s impact on lower-income drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that amendment has done little to soften the opposition from some elected officials. In addition to the seven House members who raised objections to the bill, several state lawmakers, mostly from outlying parts of the Bay Area, have also said \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/bay-area-lawmakers-oppose-raising-bridge-tolls-18176112.php\">they’re against the toll increase\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the chief concerns is that the $1.50 toll increase will come on top of a series of other increases \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672904/bay-area-bridge-toll-increase-appears-headed-for-passage\">approved by Bay Area voters in 2018\u003c/a>. Regional Measure 3 has raised tolls on the Antioch, Benicia, Carquinez, Richmond-San Rafael, Bay, San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges to $7 over the last several years. If SB 532 passes, the rate will go up to $8.50 in January. And the next toll increase under RM3 will add a dollar to that on New Year’s Day 2025.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"news_11952821,news_11942359,news_11954314"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>With the bill needing a two-thirds majority in both the state Assembly and Senate to pass, the split in the regional delegation raises questions about prospects for the bill’s success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Council has been the leading voice in opposing the measure.

If the car has a working FasTrak transponder, it will beep and deduct the toll. If for some reason the sensor doesn’t read the transponder — maybe it’s buried deep in the glove compartmnet — then the system will match the license plate to the FasTrak account. If there is no FasTrak associated with the plate, the agency sends a paper bill in the mail to the address listed on the car’s registration. Those bills will come monthly and must be paid, similar to a utility bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rentschler said that because this new system went into effect abruptly, BATA did not charge late fees to people who did not pay their bills in 2020. But as of January 2021, BATA isn’t being so lenient. If toll bills aren’t paid in a timely manner, they’re adding on late fees, like cities do for parking tickets. Rentschler understands that many people do not pay close attention to their mail, but said the law requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are they losing a lot of money?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2020, the Toll Authority was losing about $4 million per month, Rentschler said. That’s a lot of money. But, he called it a “no-interest loan to the public,” because he expects the toll authority will get it back when people go to register their cars and discover they owe fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t register your vehicle in California until you pay your toll bill,” Rentschler said. “So we’re not losing the money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system raises questions about fairness. Public advocates have successfully argued that \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcn.org/articles/social-justice-across-california-local-governments-are-abolishing-court-fees\">court and probation fees\u003c/a> act like a regressive tax. They can be a logistical stumbling block that trips a person up, and often compound. If a person doesn’t register their car because they can’t pay their toll bill, for example, they might end up in even more trouble for driving an unregistered car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For those customers that have accumulated fees, we encourage them to contact us so we can work out an agreement,” Rentschler said. “We have worked with many people on the level of the fees and on payment plans. Things happen and we are an understanding organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the Toll Authority thought long and hard about those issues, but ultimately decided that the all-electronic transition needed to happen, even if some people never pay. The lien on car registrations is the only way BATA can find people who don’t keep their address updated with the DMV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re probably going to lose a little bit more,” Rentschler said. “But everything in life is a trade off. You know, us keeping in operation two full toll collection systems, a cash system and a FasTrak system, was not cheap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BATA estimates that 8% of bridge crossers will end up in the violation or DMV registration hold category. One thing people often don’t know, Rentschler said, is that it’s possible to get a prepaid FasTrak transponder that doesn’t require a credit card. They sell them at BATA headquarters in downtown San Francisco and by mail with a check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Bay Area bridge toll takers are a thing of the past.

Rentschler understands that many people do not pay close attention to their mail, but said the law requires it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are they losing a lot of money?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In 2020, the Toll Authority was losing about $4 million per month, Rentschler said. That’s a lot of money. But, he called it a “no-interest loan to the public,” because he expects the toll authority will get it back when people go to register their cars and discover they owe fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t register your vehicle in California until you pay your toll bill,” Rentschler said. “So we’re not losing the money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system raises questions about fairness. Public advocates have successfully argued that \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcn.org/articles/social-justice-across-california-local-governments-are-abolishing-court-fees\">court and probation fees\u003c/a> act like a regressive tax. They can be a logistical stumbling block that trips a person up, and often compound. If a person doesn’t register their car because they can’t pay their toll bill, for example, they might end up in even more trouble for driving an unregistered car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For those customers that have accumulated fees, we encourage them to contact us so we can work out an agreement,” Rentschler said. “We have worked with many people on the level of the fees and on payment plans. Things happen and we are an understanding organization.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the Toll Authority thought long and hard about those issues, but ultimately decided that the all-electronic transition needed to happen, even if some people never pay. The lien on car registrations is the only way BATA can find people who don’t keep their address updated with the DMV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’re probably going to lose a little bit more,” Rentschler said. “But everything in life is a trade off. You know, us keeping in operation two full toll collection systems, a cash system and a FasTrak system, was not cheap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BATA estimates that 8% of bridge crossers will end up in the violation or DMV registration hold category. One thing people often don’t know, Rentschler said, is that it’s possible to get a prepaid FasTrak transponder that doesn’t require a credit card. They sell them at BATA headquarters in downtown San Francisco and by mail with a check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"baycuriousquestion","attributes":{"named":{"label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11868435/end-of-an-era-no-more-toll-takers-on-bay-area-bridges","authors":["234"],"programs":["news_33523"],"series":["news_17986"],"categories":["news_8","news_33520"],"tags":["news_231","news_23368"],"featImg":"news_11868540","label":"source_news_11868435"},"news_11786163":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11786163","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11786163","score":null,"sort":[1573599314000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"happy-birthday-bay-bridge-heres-how-you-looked-in-the-1970s","title":"Happy Birthday, Bay Bridge: Here's How You Looked in the 1970s","publishDate":1573599314,"format":"image","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Daily commuters may \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11700881/the-10-best-places-to-watch-the-worst-bay-area-traffic-congestion\">extend their well wishes through gritted teeth\u003c/a>, but congratulations are nonetheless in order: The Bay Bridge was first opened to traffic 83 years ago today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After three years of construction, \u003ca href=\"https://www.baybridgeinfo.org/history\">the Bay Bridge greeted its public on Nov. 12, 1936\u003c/a> — a whole six months before its glitzier sibling, the Golden Gate Bridge, debuted on May 27, 1937.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the next quarter-century, until 1962, trucks and trains traveled in both directions on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge, with cars driving in both directions on the deck above them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/QO6s0quF0i8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To mark the occasion, we reached into our archives to bring you this short video showing what the Bay Bridge (and its traffic) looked like in the 1970s, when the span was merely in its 40s and those trains had been gone a decade or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clips are from 1971, 1973 (color) and 1979, so watch and transport yourself back to a time when markedly fewer cars made the bay crossing, and the toll was a whole 75 cents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(We're always turning up gems like this in the KQED archives, from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13835832/kqed-unearths-rare-video-of-san-francisco-drag-in-the-60s\">rare footage of a 1968 San Francisco drag ball\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13868380/watch-vintage-kqed-footage-from-the-1970s-castro-district\">glimpses of the Castro District in the 1970s\u003c/a>.

That figure is subject to future tweaking as the last votes are counted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Third:\u003c/strong> One large-ish chunk of votes is still not reflected in the vote totals: Sonoma County has not reported vote totals since June 6, the day after the election. Based on Sonoma's much higher than average turnout in the 2014 primary and overall regional turnout this year -- close to 42 percent -- the county could still have 35,000 to 40,000 votes to report.

Uncounted ballots:\u003c/strong> It's unknown how many votes are left to count regionwide -- but we can guess. So far, elections offices in the nine counties have reported counting 1.52 million ballots, representing 39.1 percent of the region's 3.9 million registered voters. If you assume that the total nine-county turnout gets to 40 percent, that would mean there are at most 80,000 votes left to count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Turnout:\u003c/strong> The current 39.1 percent participation of registered voters doesn't sound like anything to write home about. The statewide turnout for the 2016 presidential election, by contrast, was 75 percent. But masses of voters ignore the primaries -- especially off-year primaries, when no presidential candidates appear on the ballot. In 2014, for instance, turnout in the nine Bay Area counties was an aggregate 30 percent (statewide, the figure was 25 percent). So, the prospect of 40 percent participation after all votes are counted? That's a raging torrent of turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Turnout hotspots:\u003c/strong> San Francisco, thanks to a contentious mayor's race, will probably wind up with close to 53 percent turnout -- the highest in the Bay Area and the only county to come close to exceeding 50 percent. Santa Clara and Marin counties are next, with turnout in the low 40s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Turnout deadspots:\u003c/strong> The race for lowest turnout county is still too close to call. San Mateo and Sonoma counties still report lower than 30 percent turnout -- but they have been slow to count ballots and report results, and it's likely to be the end of the week before we have a better picture of their close-to-final numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/h6hRL/7/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. The \"no\" counties:\u003c/strong> The result in the \"no\" counties was in line with their voting history on past transportation measures. Solano County gave the weakest support for Regional Measure 1 in 1988, which standardized tolls on the Bay Area's seven state-owned bridge at $1. While the rest of the seven counties that voted in that election gave better than two-thirds support, Solano voted 58 percent \"yes.\" In 2004, Solano County voted 59 percent no on the $1 toll increase proposed by Regional Measure 2. In 2016, the county's voters also rejected a half-cent sales tax increase for local transportation projects and gave less than 60 percent support to BART's $3.5 billion bond measure (it needed two-thirds to pass -- and got it because of strong support in the other two BART counties -- Alameda and San Francisco). The result on Regional Measure 3: 70 percent \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County's support for transportation measures has also trended down. Voters supported Regional Measure 1 with a 68 percent yes vote, but gave just 51 percent support to Regional Measure 2. The county's voters also rejected a half-cent transportation sales tax in 2016. The Measure 3 result: 55 percent \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. The \"super yes\" counties:\u003c/strong> The strong support for the bridge toll increase in Santa Clara and San Francisco counties bears out their past strong support for transportation measures. San Francisco gave 69 percent support to both RM1 and RM2 -- and 65 percent to RM3. City voters also enthusiastically supported the 2016 BART bond measure (though in the same election they soundly rejected a sales tax increase that would have been split between transportation and homeless services). Santa Clara County has given strong support to all three regional measures and to countywide sales taxes for BART and other transportation project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Counterfactual: What if the \"super yes\" counties had been less \"yes\"?\u003c/strong> Some Regional Measure 3 critics say that the strong support in Santa Clara and San Francisco counties suggests the vote was unfairly stacked against counties that were less enthusiastic about the new tolls. If you took those two counties out of the mix, they point out, the measure would have lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, but: The two counties are home to roughly 2.8 million residents. There's no reason to exclude them simply because they've voted in large numbers for toll increases. It might be more realistic to look at how the regionwide results might look if San Francisco and Santa Clara hadn't voted so strongly in favor of RM3.

The latest tally shows Marin to hove joined San Francisco and Santa Clara counties in approving the toll hikes by 60 percent or more.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Second:\u003c/strong> The nearly final returns indicate that Regional Measure 3 would have passed -- by an eyelash -- without the lopsided support from Santa Clara and San Francisco counties. Subtracting those two counties from the total, the vote from the seven remaining counties was something like 50.3 percent yes. That figure is subject to future tweaking as the last votes are counted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Third:\u003c/strong> One large-ish chunk of votes is still not reflected in the vote totals: Sonoma County has not reported vote totals since June 6, the day after the election. Based on Sonoma's much higher than average turnout in the 2014 primary and overall regional turnout this year -- close to 42 percent -- the county could still have 35,000 to 40,000 votes to report. At last report, Sonoma had voted 52.8 percent yes for the toll hikes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">W\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>e can't say we've heard of anyone -- or anyone else -- who's still sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the final results of the nine-county vote on Regional Measure 3. That's the measure to raise tolls on Bay Area bridges by three bucks between now and 2025 to pay for transit and highway projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since I \u003cem>am\u003c/em> sitting on the edge of my seat, I can tell you that as of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday the measure is ahead with a tally of 783,791 yes (54.9 percent), and 642,492 no (45.1 percent). That tally isn't final. But the roughly 141,000-vote margin means that unless someone somewhere has been hoarding a couple of BART trains packed with \"no\" ballots, the bridge toll has passed. Period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure got a yes vote in seven of nine counties, with Contra Costa and Solano counties voting no by large margins. The size of the winning majority is due to relatively high turnout and overwhelming support in San Francisco and Santa Clara counties. Together, voters in those two counties approved RM3 by just over 146,000 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/91Wa3/21/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of observations on the numbers as they stand now:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Uncounted ballots:\u003c/strong> It's unknown how many votes are left to count regionwide -- but we can guess. So far, elections offices in the nine counties have reported counting 1.52 million ballots, representing 39.1 percent of the region's 3.9 million registered voters. If you assume that the total nine-county turnout gets to 40 percent, that would mean there are at most 80,000 votes left to count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Turnout:\u003c/strong> The current 39.1 percent participation of registered voters doesn't sound like anything to write home about. The statewide turnout for the 2016 presidential election, by contrast, was 75 percent. But masses of voters ignore the primaries -- especially off-year primaries, when no presidential candidates appear on the ballot. In 2014, for instance, turnout in the nine Bay Area counties was an aggregate 30 percent (statewide, the figure was 25 percent). So, the prospect of 40 percent participation after all votes are counted? That's a raging torrent of turnout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Turnout hotspots:\u003c/strong> San Francisco, thanks to a contentious mayor's race, will probably wind up with close to 53 percent turnout -- the highest in the Bay Area and the only county to come close to exceeding 50 percent. Santa Clara and Marin counties are next, with turnout in the low 40s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Turnout deadspots:\u003c/strong> The race for lowest turnout county is still too close to call. San Mateo and Sonoma counties still report lower than 30 percent turnout -- but they have been slow to count ballots and report results, and it's likely to be the end of the week before we have a better picture of their close-to-final numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/h6hRL/7/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. The \"no\" counties:\u003c/strong> The result in the \"no\" counties was in line with their voting history on past transportation measures. Solano County gave the weakest support for Regional Measure 1 in 1988, which standardized tolls on the Bay Area's seven state-owned bridge at $1. While the rest of the seven counties that voted in that election gave better than two-thirds support, Solano voted 58 percent \"yes.\" In 2004, Solano County voted 59 percent no on the $1 toll increase proposed by Regional Measure 2. In 2016, the county's voters also rejected a half-cent sales tax increase for local transportation projects and gave less than 60 percent support to BART's $3.5 billion bond measure (it needed two-thirds to pass -- and got it because of strong support in the other two BART counties -- Alameda and San Francisco). The result on Regional Measure 3: 70 percent \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County's support for transportation measures has also trended down. Voters supported Regional Measure 1 with a 68 percent yes vote, but gave just 51 percent support to Regional Measure 2. The county's voters also rejected a half-cent transportation sales tax in 2016. The Measure 3 result: 55 percent \"no.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. The \"super yes\" counties:\u003c/strong> The strong support for the bridge toll increase in Santa Clara and San Francisco counties bears out their past strong support for transportation measures. San Francisco gave 69 percent support to both RM1 and RM2 -- and 65 percent to RM3. City voters also enthusiastically supported the 2016 BART bond measure (though in the same election they soundly rejected a sales tax increase that would have been split between transportation and homeless services). Santa Clara County has given strong support to all three regional measures and to countywide sales taxes for BART and other transportation project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Counterfactual: What if the \"super yes\" counties had been less \"yes\"?\u003c/strong> Some Regional Measure 3 critics say that the strong support in Santa Clara and San Francisco counties suggests the vote was unfairly stacked against counties that were less enthusiastic about the new tolls. If you took those two counties out of the mix, they point out, the measure would have lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, but: The two counties are home to roughly 2.8 million residents. There's no reason to exclude them simply because they've voted in large numbers for toll increases. It might be more realistic to look at how the regionwide results might look if San Francisco and Santa Clara hadn't voted so strongly in favor of RM3. What if voters there had voted yes at the same rate as the county with the median result?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County, which voted 53.9 percent \"yes,\" proved to be the median of the nine counties in this election (four counties gave stronger support, four counties expressed lower support). If Santa Clara and San Francisco had voted yes at Alameda's 53.9 percent rate, the measure would still have passed with a 51.3 percent yes vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if the \"super yes\" counties had voted for RM3 at the lowest rate of the five other yes counties -- Napa's 50.7 percent -- the toll increase would still have passed, though only with 50.08 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11674221/the-regional-measure-3-victory-by-the-numbers","authors":["222"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_8","news_13","news_1397"],"tags":["news_23368","news_20008","news_22246"],"featImg":"news_11165545","label":"news_72"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
