TL;DR

Organizers surpassed the signature threshold to qualify a five-county BART rescue measure for the November ballot, potentially delivering about $310 million to sustain BART and regional transit agencies and avoid significant service cuts. The measure requires a majority vote across San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and would include independent financial efficiency reviews. Campaigning now shifts from qualification to winning passage.
