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.”
