With well more than half of expected ballots counted in the three counties by 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzZ5GkhTE5dmNBaJV-2uivc65neiGO9mGeKQBzWHcg8/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the measure was passing\u003c/a> with a 70.4% \"yes\" vote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11831788,news_11829125,news_11812847\" label=\"Caltrain's Measure RR\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure was getting 74% support in San Francisco, traditionally supportive of regional transportation measures, and 72.1% in San Mateo County, which made the initial local investment that bought the rail system from Southern Pacific in 1991 and which has run the agency ever since. The vote was closer — 67.4% \"yes\" — in Santa Clara County, where officials had expressed particularly vehement reservations about allowing San Mateo County to continue its role as Caltrain's operator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just phenomenal to have this level of support from the voters and the taxpayers,\" said Dave Pine, a member of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and chair of the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board that oversees Caltrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rail agency officials and supporters had said the tax, which will raise an estimated $100 million a year for the next 30 years, would allow the system to weather the drastic decline in fare revenue that followed the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The revenue is also intended to help pay for acquiring new electric trains and running more frequent service as part of a plan that would nearly quadruple daily ridership by the year 2040.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, Caltrain has depended on fares to cover about 70% of its day-to-day operating costs — a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio#:~:text=The%20farebox%20recovery%20ratio%20(also,by%20its%20total%20operating%20expenses.\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">farebox-recovery level\u003c/a> that industry officials say is the highest among all major U.S. transit systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once COVID-19 restrictions took effect, weekday ridership all but vanished, initially falling from about 65,000 a day to about 1,500, a 98% plunge. And despite the agency continuing to run 70 trains a day, average weekday ridership is still only about 3,500 — a 95% decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pine said the first order of business, now that the tax appears to have passed, is to get through the pandemic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our greatest strength is also our Achilles' heel in that 70% of our revenue is from riders, and we don't have riders,\" Pine said. \"So we have our lifeline to make it through COVID, and then we'll look forward to a future of expanded service, more frequent and faster trains and more ridership on the corridor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A poll conducted for Caltrain and \u003ca href=\"https://www.caltrain.com/Assets/_MarketDevelopment/pdf/Survey+of+Likely+November+2020+Voters+Regarding+a+Potential+Sales+Tax+for+Caltrain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released in June\u003c/a> showed the tax falling just short of the required two-thirds majority, with 63% approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That level rose to 70% when survey respondents heard arguments for the measure — essentially that the tax would help Caltrain expand and improve as well as ease congestion on the region's freeways. But a negative message — one emphasizing the uncertainties about transit ridership after the pandemic and questioning whether the tax is needed for a commuter rail system that serves a mostly affluent clientele — led support for the measure to drop below 60%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure RR was supported by scores of elected officials in the three counties, from Sen. Dianne Feinstein to local town council members. Major business, environmental and transportation advocacy groups as well as some of the Bay Area's wealthiest companies also endorsed the tax — and contributed to the \"Save Caltrain\" campaign's $2.7 million war chest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most notable among individual supporters: Pine, the Caltrain board chair, who loaned the campaign $500,000 to help it keep ads on TV when other donations were slow to arrive.

With well more than half of expected ballots counted in the three counties by 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OzZ5GkhTE5dmNBaJV-2uivc65neiGO9mGeKQBzWHcg8/edit?usp=sharing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the measure was passing\u003c/a> with a 70.4% \"yes\" vote. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11831788,news_11829125,news_11812847","label":"Caltrain's Measure RR "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure was getting 74% support in San Francisco, traditionally supportive of regional transportation measures, and 72.1% in San Mateo County, which made the initial local investment that bought the rail system from Southern Pacific in 1991 and which has run the agency ever since. The vote was closer — 67.4% \"yes\" — in Santa Clara County, where officials had expressed particularly vehement reservations about allowing San Mateo County to continue its role as Caltrain's operator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's just phenomenal to have this level of support from the voters and the taxpayers,\" said Dave Pine, a member of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors and chair of the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board that oversees Caltrain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rail agency officials and supporters had said the tax, which will raise an estimated $100 million a year for the next 30 years, would allow the system to weather the drastic decline in fare revenue that followed the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. The revenue is also intended to help pay for acquiring new electric trains and running more frequent service as part of a plan that would nearly quadruple daily ridership by the year 2040.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Historically, Caltrain has depended on fares to cover about 70% of its day-to-day operating costs — a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio#:~:text=The%20farebox%20recovery%20ratio%20(also,by%20its%20total%20operating%20expenses.\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">farebox-recovery level\u003c/a> that industry officials say is the highest among all major U.S. transit systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But once COVID-19 restrictions took effect, weekday ridership all but vanished, initially falling from about 65,000 a day to about 1,500, a 98% plunge. And despite the agency continuing to run 70 trains a day, average weekday ridership is still only about 3,500 — a 95% decrease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pine said the first order of business, now that the tax appears to have passed, is to get through the pandemic. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our greatest strength is also our Achilles' heel in that 70% of our revenue is from riders, and we don't have riders,\" Pine said. \"So we have our lifeline to make it through COVID, and then we'll look forward to a future of expanded service, more frequent and faster trains and more ridership on the corridor.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A poll conducted for Caltrain and \u003ca href=\"https://www.caltrain.com/Assets/_MarketDevelopment/pdf/Survey+of+Likely+November+2020+Voters+Regarding+a+Potential+Sales+Tax+for+Caltrain.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released in June\u003c/a> showed the tax falling just short of the required two-thirds majority, with 63% approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That level rose to 70% when survey respondents heard arguments for the measure — essentially that the tax would help Caltrain expand and improve as well as ease congestion on the region's freeways. But a negative message — one emphasizing the uncertainties about transit ridership after the pandemic and questioning whether the tax is needed for a commuter rail system that serves a mostly affluent clientele — led support for the measure to drop below 60%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure RR was supported by scores of elected officials in the three counties, from Sen.

He supports a slate of candidates who say they'll try to take a tougher line with the agency's union -- reforming work rules they term wasteful and inefficient, for instance -- and develop a more tightly crafted bond measure that would be put before voters in a future election. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although no names were mentioned, one of the dozen or so officials who spoke took on Glazer's opposition directly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to cut straight to the politics of this,\" said state.
