Policy Framing

• Name: Bay Area Transit Equity Contribution

• Pitch: “A fraction of 1% of the excess billions to liberate mobility for all.”

• Messaging:
“If you're worth $10 billion, this asks for less than 1% over five years — a tiny sliver to provide universal freedom of movement in the Bay Area.”

• “A tiny slice — less than 2.5% of excess wealth over five years from the Bay Area’s richest — will fund free transit for millions and create a more equitable, sustainable region.”
