Ten Bay Area voters are challenging a proposed regional sales tax, arguing its ballot language is misleading and paints transit as on the verge of collapse — when agencies say they have other funding options. The $980 million annual Connect Bay Area Act would fund BART, Caltrain, and road repairs for 14 years, but opponents claim it’s unnecessary and emotionally manipulative. Transit agencies warn without it, service cuts will hit millions; supporters say the tax prevents chaos, while critics insist existing funds can cover the gap. The MTC defends the wording as legal, with a court decision looming before election day.
