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. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"}},"breakingNewsReducer":{},"campaignFinanceReducer":{},"firebase":{"requesting":{},"requested":{},"timestamps":{},"data":{},"ordered":{},"auth":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"authError":null,"profile":{"isLoaded":false,"isEmpty":true},"listeners":{"byId":{},"allIds":[]},"isInitializing":false,"errors":[]},"navBarReducer":{"navBarId":"news","fullView":true,"showPlayer":false},"navMenuReducer":{"menus":[{"key":"menu1","items":[{"name":"News","link":"/","type":"title"},{"name":"Politics","link":"/politics"},{"name":"Science","link":"/science"},{"name":"Education","link":"/educationnews"},{"name":"Housing","link":"/housing"},{"name":"Immigration","link":"/immigration"},{"name":"Criminal Justice","link":"/criminaljustice"},{"name":"Silicon Valley","link":"/siliconvalley"},{"name":"Forum","link":"/forum"},{"name":"The California Report","link":"/californiareport"}]},{"key":"menu2","items":[{"name":"Arts & Culture","link":"/arts","type":"title"},{"name":"Critics’ Picks","link":"/thedolist"},{"name":"Cultural Commentary","link":"/artscommentary"},{"name":"Food & Drink","link":"/food"},{"name":"Bay Area Hip-Hop","link":"/bayareahiphop"},{"name":"Rebel Girls","link":"/rebelgirls"},{"name":"Arts Video","link":"/artsvideos"}]},{"key":"menu3","items":[{"name":"Podcasts","link":"/podcasts","type":"title"},{"name":"Bay Curious","link":"/podcasts/baycurious"},{"name":"Rightnowish","link":"/podcasts/rightnowish"},{"name":"The Bay","link":"/podcasts/thebay"},{"name":"On Our Watch","link":"/podcasts/onourwatch"},{"name":"Mindshift","link":"/podcasts/mindshift"},{"name":"Consider This","link":"/podcasts/considerthis"},{"name":"Political Breakdown","link":"/podcasts/politicalbreakdown"}]},{"key":"menu4","items":[{"name":"Live Radio","link":"/radio","type":"title"},{"name":"TV","link":"/tv","type":"title"},{"name":"Events","link":"/events","type":"title"},{"name":"For Educators","link":"/education","type":"title"},{"name":"Support KQED","link":"/support","type":"title"},{"name":"About","link":"/about","type":"title"},{"name":"Help Center","link":"https://kqed-helpcenter.kqed.org/s","type":"title"}]}]},"pagesReducer":{},"postsReducer":{"stream_live":{"type":"live","id":"stream_live","audioUrl":"https://streams.kqed.org/kqedradio","title":"Live Stream","excerpt":"Live Stream information currently unavailable.","link":"/radio","featImg":"","label":{"name":"KQED Live","link":"/"}},"stream_kqedNewscast":{"type":"posts","id":"stream_kqedNewscast","audioUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/newscast.mp3?_=1","title":"KQED Newscast","featImg":"","label":{"name":"88.5 FM","link":"/"}},"news_11710267":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11710267","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11710267","score":null,"sort":[1544062785000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bay-area-bridge-toll-increases-january-1-2019","title":"Bridge Agency to Sign Off on Toll Hike — Though Court Action Could Lead to Refund","publishDate":1544062785,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Regional transportation officials are getting ready to give their formal sign-off on toll increases scheduled to take effect Jan. 1 on the Bay Area's seven state-owned bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area Toll Authority is expected to vote next week to go ahead with a $1 increase on the first day of 2019, the first of three toll hikes \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11672904/bay-area-bridge-toll-increase-appears-headed-for-passage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">approved by voters\u003c/a> last June as part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11671240/10-things-to-know-regional-measure-3-the-proposed-bay-area-bridge-toll-increase\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Measure 3\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jan. 1 increase will raise tolls to $6 on the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo and Dumbarton bridges.

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>[dropcap]W[/dropcap]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>[ad fullwidth]\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).

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.

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.

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"},"news_11672904":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11672904","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11672904","score":null,"sort":[1528278714000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bay-area-bridge-toll-increase-appears-headed-for-passage","title":"It's Official: Bridge Toll Hike Wins 55 Percent 'Yes' Vote","publishDate":1528278714,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":72,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, July 10:\u003c/strong> With the Regional Measure 3 count completed, the toll increased prevailed by a 55 to 45 percent.

What would Measure 3 do?\u003c/strong> The measure would increase tolls on the region's seven state-owned bridges to raise funds for 35 transportation projects aimed at long-term reduction of traffic congestion. As a reminder, the seven bridges are, from north/east to south/west: the Antioch Bridge, the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, the Carquinez Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge. (The Golden Gate Bridge is owned by a separate district that sets tolls independently of the state bridges.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. When would tolls be raised? How much?\u003c/strong> Tolls would increase a total of $3 in three stages: $1 on Jan.1, 2019; $1 on Jan. 1, 2022; $1 on Jan. 1, 2025. The toll increases would be added to existing tolls, which are currently $5 except on the Bay Bridge, where tolls are $6 for peak hours (weekdays from 6 a.m.-10 a.m. and 3 p.m.-7 p.m.), $5 on weekends and $4 at all other hours. That means that in 2025, tolls would be set at $8 on all the state bridges except the Bay Bridge, where the toll would be between $7 and $9. The measure also includes a provision that would allow the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that administers bridge revenue, to adjust future tolls for inflation after the year 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Would carpoolers/legal HOV users continue to get a break on tolls? How about people who use two bridges?\u003c/strong> Yes and yes. Those eligible to legally use HOV or \"carpool\" lanes -- cars carrying two or three people, depending on the corridor, and those with white or green zero-emission vehicle stickers -- would continue to get a 50 percent discount on the increased tolls. People who must pay two tolls a day -- for instance, someone commuting westbound across the Bay Bridge in the morning and east/northbound through the Carquinez or Benicia bridges in the evening -- would get a 50 percent discount on the second toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How much would the higher tolls cost the \"average\" bridge commuter?\u003c/strong> Most estimates suggest commuters would pay an extra $750 a year once the full increase is implemented in 2025. Parsing the arithmetic a little, that estimate assumes a commuter paying the added $3 toll 250 days of the year (every weekday for 50 weeks, say).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How much money would Measure 3 raise and how would it be spent?\u003c/strong> The toll increases would raise an estimated $4.45 billion over 25 years. That money would be used to pay for 35 highway and transit projects throughout the nine counties and provide incremental operating support for some Bay Area transit agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complete list of projects is shown in the table below. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission -- which, as one of the architects of the measure, is a major supporter -- produced this useful and not overtly political map: \u003ca href=\"http://2b0kd44aw6tb3js4ja3jprp6-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/RM3-Project-Map-1.18.18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Measure 3 Projects\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8qBWO/3/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"2000\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. What’s the split between highway and transit funding in the measure?\u003c/strong> $2.765 billion transit; $1.475 billion highways. In addition, the measure provides Bay Area transit agencies with up to $60 million in annual operating support -- money to pay for items like salaries and fuel, for instance. The biggest recipient of that money would be the San Francisco Bay Ferry system, which would get as much as $35 million a year. Other beneficiaries would include the new Transbay Transit Center and regional express bus services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Must all of the nine counties vote \"yes\" for Regional Measure 3 to pass? What vote percentage does the measure need?\u003c/strong> No. Regional Measure 3 will pass if it secures a simple majority (50 percent plus one vote) in the aggregate vote of the nine Bay Area counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Is Regional Measure 3 connected to the state’s higher gasoline tax?\u003c/strong> No. The increased fuel taxes and vehicle fees enacted in 2017 go to the state and are reserved for other infrastructure and transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. What assurance do voters have that money from the increased tolls will be spent as the measure specifies? \u003c/strong> The measure includes two provisions for independent oversight of the new toll revenue. First, the measure requires creation of an 18-member oversight board, with two members appointed by each Board of Supervisors in the nine-county region. Gov. Jerry Brown also signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1041\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> last week designed to prevent conflicts of interest by barring current and former members and staff of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Bay Area Toll Authority from serving on the oversight panel. The new law would also block those who have contracted with MTC and BATA from serving on the oversight board within a year of having worked for the agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the measure creates a new position, BART inspector general, to \"ensure that the district makes effective use of bridge toll revenue and other revenue and operates efficiently, effectively, and in compliance with applicable federal and state laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. Who supports Regional Measure 3, and why?\u003c/strong> The measure enjoys broad support from some of the region's most influential business and planning groups; from hundreds of state and local elected officials; from labor groups; from transit agencies; from transportation advocates, including cycling and pedestrian organizations; and environmentalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The principal reason: They say the Bay Area's regional congestion crisis requires urgent ongoing action, and the projects in Regional Measure 3 are a crucial part of the response. They point to the transit emphasis in the project list -- about two-thirds of the dollars raised would go to mass transportation -- and a series of major interchange projects that, along with new HOV and express lanes, will significantly reduce congestion. In support, they emphasize the results of Regional Measure 1 (1988) and Regional Measure 2 (2004). The first measure raised tolls for bridge improvements and paid for the new Benicia bridge and new suspension span for the westbound Carquinez Strait crossing between Vallejo and Crockett. The second measure raised tolls again and expanded the use of the resulting revenue to benefit highway projects like the fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel and several transit projects, including chipping in for BART's Warm Springs extension and Oakland Airport connector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>11. Who opposes Regional Measure 3, and why?\u003c/strong> A handful of local legislators -- most notably, Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, oppose the measure. So do taxpayer groups such as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and taxpayers groups in Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties and in Silicon Valley. Republican Party county committees throughout the Bay Area also urge a \"no\" vote on the measure. A Marin County transportation advocacy group, the Transportation Defense and Education Fund (TransDEF), is also opposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the chief reasons cited for opposing the measure: Higher bridge tolls amount to a regressive tax that will hit lower- and middle-income workers, who are already struggling with skyrocketing housing costs. DeSaulnier also criticizes the Legislature's and Metropolitan Transportation Commission's process in developing its master project list and says that those who will pay the bulk of the new tolls -- commuters from Alameda and Contra Costa counties -- will see little congestion relief from them. Assemblymemeber Tim Grayson, also a Democrat from Concord, is among those who say the measure delivers a disproportionate share of benefits to South Bay communities that have comparatively few bridge commuters. TransDEF activist David Schonbrunn is a longtime critic of the MTC who says the agency has failed in its mission to reduce congestion; he advocates a publicly sponsored program to encourage widespread carpooling.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Questions and answers about proposal to raise bridge tolls by $3 over the next seven years -- and how the new toll revenue would be spent.

What would Measure 3 do?\u003c/strong> The measure would increase tolls on the region's seven state-owned bridges to raise funds for 35 transportation projects aimed at long-term reduction of traffic congestion. As a reminder, the seven bridges are, from north/east to south/west: the Antioch Bridge, the Benicia-Martinez Bridge, the Carquinez Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the San Mateo Bridge and the Dumbarton Bridge. (The Golden Gate Bridge is owned by a separate district that sets tolls independently of the state bridges.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. When would tolls be raised? How much?\u003c/strong> Tolls would increase a total of $3 in three stages: $1 on Jan.1, 2019; $1 on Jan. 1, 2022; $1 on Jan. 1, 2025. The toll increases would be added to existing tolls, which are currently $5 except on the Bay Bridge, where tolls are $6 for peak hours (weekdays from 6 a.m.-10 a.m. and 3 p.m.-7 p.m.), $5 on weekends and $4 at all other hours. That means that in 2025, tolls would be set at $8 on all the state bridges except the Bay Bridge, where the toll would be between $7 and $9. The measure also includes a provision that would allow the Bay Area Toll Authority, the agency that administers bridge revenue, to adjust future tolls for inflation after the year 2025.\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>\u003cstrong>3. Would carpoolers/legal HOV users continue to get a break on tolls? How about people who use two bridges?\u003c/strong> Yes and yes. Those eligible to legally use HOV or \"carpool\" lanes -- cars carrying two or three people, depending on the corridor, and those with white or green zero-emission vehicle stickers -- would continue to get a 50 percent discount on the increased tolls. People who must pay two tolls a day -- for instance, someone commuting westbound across the Bay Bridge in the morning and east/northbound through the Carquinez or Benicia bridges in the evening -- would get a 50 percent discount on the second toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. How much would the higher tolls cost the \"average\" bridge commuter?\u003c/strong> Most estimates suggest commuters would pay an extra $750 a year once the full increase is implemented in 2025. Parsing the arithmetic a little, that estimate assumes a commuter paying the added $3 toll 250 days of the year (every weekday for 50 weeks, say).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How much money would Measure 3 raise and how would it be spent?\u003c/strong> The toll increases would raise an estimated $4.45 billion over 25 years. That money would be used to pay for 35 highway and transit projects throughout the nine counties and provide incremental operating support for some Bay Area transit agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The complete list of projects is shown in the table below. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission -- which, as one of the architects of the measure, is a major supporter -- produced this useful and not overtly political map: \u003ca href=\"http://2b0kd44aw6tb3js4ja3jprp6-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/RM3-Project-Map-1.18.18.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Measure 3 Projects\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/8qBWO/3/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"2000\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. What’s the split between highway and transit funding in the measure?\u003c/strong> $2.765 billion transit; $1.475 billion highways. In addition, the measure provides Bay Area transit agencies with up to $60 million in annual operating support -- money to pay for items like salaries and fuel, for instance. The biggest recipient of that money would be the San Francisco Bay Ferry system, which would get as much as $35 million a year. Other beneficiaries would include the new Transbay Transit Center and regional express bus services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Must all of the nine counties vote \"yes\" for Regional Measure 3 to pass? What vote percentage does the measure need?\u003c/strong> No. Regional Measure 3 will pass if it secures a simple majority (50 percent plus one vote) in the aggregate vote of the nine Bay Area counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>8. Is Regional Measure 3 connected to the state’s higher gasoline tax?\u003c/strong> No. The increased fuel taxes and vehicle fees enacted in 2017 go to the state and are reserved for other infrastructure and transportation projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>9. What assurance do voters have that money from the increased tolls will be spent as the measure specifies? \u003c/strong> The measure includes two provisions for independent oversight of the new toll revenue. First, the measure requires creation of an 18-member oversight board, with two members appointed by each Board of Supervisors in the nine-county region. Gov. Jerry Brown also signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1041\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a bill\u003c/a> last week designed to prevent conflicts of interest by barring current and former members and staff of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Bay Area Toll Authority from serving on the oversight panel. The new law would also block those who have contracted with MTC and BATA from serving on the oversight board within a year of having worked for the agencies. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, the measure creates a new position, BART inspector general, to \"ensure that the district makes effective use of bridge toll revenue and other revenue and operates efficiently, effectively, and in compliance with applicable federal and state laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>10. Who supports Regional Measure 3, and why?\u003c/strong> The measure enjoys broad support from some of the region's most influential business and planning groups; from hundreds of state and local elected officials; from labor groups; from transit agencies; from transportation advocates, including cycling and pedestrian organizations; and environmentalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The principal reason: They say the Bay Area's regional congestion crisis requires urgent ongoing action, and the projects in Regional Measure 3 are a crucial part of the response. They point to the transit emphasis in the project list -- about two-thirds of the dollars raised would go to mass transportation -- and a series of major interchange projects that, along with new HOV and express lanes, will significantly reduce congestion. In support, they emphasize the results of Regional Measure 1 (1988) and Regional Measure 2 (2004). The first measure raised tolls for bridge improvements and paid for the new Benicia bridge and new suspension span for the westbound Carquinez Strait crossing between Vallejo and Crockett. The second measure raised tolls again and expanded the use of the resulting revenue to benefit highway projects like the fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel and several transit projects, including chipping in for BART's Warm Springs extension and Oakland Airport connector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>11. Who opposes Regional Measure 3, and why?\u003c/strong> A handful of local legislators -- most notably, Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, oppose the measure. So do taxpayer groups such as the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and taxpayers groups in Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties and in Silicon Valley. Republican Party county committees throughout the Bay Area also urge a \"no\" vote on the measure. A Marin County transportation advocacy group, the Transportation Defense and Education Fund (TransDEF), is also opposed.\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>Among the chief reasons cited for opposing the measure: Higher bridge tolls amount to a regressive tax that will hit lower- and middle-income workers, who are already struggling with skyrocketing housing costs. DeSaulnier also criticizes the Legislature's and Metropolitan Transportation Commission's process in developing its master project list and says that those who will pay the bulk of the new tolls -- commuters from Alameda and Contra Costa counties -- will see little congestion relief from them. Assemblymemeber Tim Grayson, also a Democrat from Concord, is among those who say the measure delivers a disproportionate share of benefits to South Bay communities that have comparatively few bridge commuters. TransDEF activist David Schonbrunn is a longtime critic of the MTC who says the agency has failed in its mission to reduce congestion; he advocates a publicly sponsored program to encourage widespread carpooling.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11671240/10-things-to-know-regional-measure-3-the-proposed-bay-area-bridge-toll-increase","authors":["222"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_8","news_13","news_1397"],"tags":["news_20191","news_20008","news_22246"],"featImg":"news_11671429","label":"news_72"},"news_11638648":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11638648","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11638648","score":null,"sort":[1513885296000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"mtc-poll-regional-measure-3-bay-area-bridge-toll-increase","title":"Poll Finds Backing for Toll Hikes on Bay Area Bridges, Even From Those Who'd Be Paying More","publishDate":1513885296,"format":"standard","headTitle":"News Fix | KQED News","labelTerm":{"term":6944,"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>It's hard to get 85 percent of people to agree on anything -- even whether \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/14/277058739/1-in-4-americans-think-the-sun-goes-around-the-earth-survey-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Earth goes around the sun\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 85 is the percentage of people in a new Metropolitan Transportation Commission poll who agree traffic has gotten worse here in the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That widely shared perception of traffic congestion misery probably explains the main finding of the MTC poll: Regional Measure 3, a toll increase proposal likely headed for the June ballot in the nine Bay Area counties, enjoys solid majority support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RM3 would authorize toll hikes of up to $3 on the region's seven state-owned bridges (the Antioch, Bay, Benicia, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo spans).
