Caltrain tax legal opinion
0 likes473 views
The letter discusses a recent California law, SB 797, that provides an opportunity for Caltrain to place a one-eighth cent sales tax measure on the ballot to support its rail services. The law requires that the net revenues from the tax must be used solely for Caltrain's operating and capital purposes. Specifically, any political body approving the ballot measure cannot impose additional conditions on the use of funds or link the fiscal measure to unrelated organizational objectives. Doing so could render the tax vulnerable to a legal challenge. Separate discussions about potential changes to Caltrain's governance or management structure can continue but should not be tied to approval of the economic measure.

This document discusses opportunities to improve major transportation projects in the Bay Area through two initiatives:
1. Transit 2050+, a connected network plan that would establish a long-term vision and priorities for regional transit to guide project selection.
2. The Major Project Advancement Policy (MAP) used by MTC to sequence funding for large projects. The MAP could be strengthened over time through progressive stage gates to better manage risks and ensure policy alignment as projects develop.
Regional planning efforts should focus first on developing a service-based vision through Transit 2050+ before prioritizing individual projects to deliver that vision. Close coordination is needed between Transit 2050+ and the MAP to advance the right projects. AdvocacySPUR + TransbayCoalition-Project Delivery Workshop 1 08.31.22.pdf

Caltrain is undertaking an equity assessment to understand how to improve equity within the transit system as ridership grows. Feedback from stakeholders highlighted areas like improving off-peak and weekend service, providing more affordable fares for low-income riders, developing affordable housing near stations, and enhancing bike/pedestrian access and connecting bus services. An analysis found Caltrain ridership does not proportionally represent the diverse demographic groups within the corridor that parallel transit serves better through more frequent all-day service. Caltrain will explore scheduling changes, cost structures, and access/connectivity to increase ridership among marginalized communities.San Jose Transit first policy nomination

Develop a city-wide transit first policy framework to prioritize transit and make it faster, more useful, and a more viable option compared to driving. The policy would require considering transit improvements like bus-only lanes and signal priority on streets with high transit ridership or slow speeds. This is intended to increase transit speeds from the current 11.6 miles per hour to help more residents choose transit over driving, reduce costs for transit agencies, lower emissions, and expand access to opportunities in San José. The policy may require increased capital costs but could save on transit agency operating costs over time. City funding would likely be required.More Homes Less Driving TransForm 2-6-20

The document discusses two key areas where the High Speed Rail EIR's plans are out of sync with regional planning efforts: passing tracks on the Caltrain corridor and Diridon Station in San Jose. For passing tracks, the document notes that Caltrain plans to increase ridership by running more frequent trains, which will require additional passing tracks that are not included in the High Speed Rail EIR preferred alternative. It also notes that the Diridon Station plans in the EIR will likely be superseded by the Diridon Station Concept Plan.

Introduction to BRICS
BRICS, an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, represents a coalition of emerging economies that have grown into a powerful voice in global economic and geopolitical affairs. Initially coined as “BRIC” by economist Jim O’Neill in 2001, this alliance gained institutional shape over the years and has evolved into a critical pillar of the multipolar world order. With the addition of South Africa in 2010 and subsequent expansions, BRICS now encompasses a significant portion of the world’s population, GDP, and trade capacity.
Historical Evolution and Foundation
The journey of BRICS began with informal ministerial meetings in 2006 and formalized in 2009 with the first summit. Since then, the alliance has held annual summits, collaborated on developmental banking, and continuously advocated for the reform of global financial governance institutions such as the IMF and World Bank.
South Africa’s inclusion was strategic, making BRICS more representative of the Global South. The establishment of the New Development Bank (NDB) in 2014 and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) cemented BRICS' resolve to support sustainable development and provide alternatives to Western-dominated financial structures.
Current Membership and Expanding Influence
Initially comprising five countries, BRICS is expanding. As of the 16th Summit in Kazan, 2024, six more countries—Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Argentina—have either joined or shown interest, increasing the bloc’s relevance. This wider representation not only broadens market access but also strengthens BRICS as a strategic counterbalance to Western alliances like the G7 or NATO.
With the inclusion of new members, BRICS covers:
42% of global population
30% of global land area
23% of global GDP
44% of crude oil production
Objectives and Institutional Mechanisms
BRICS primarily aims to:
Reform global governance institutions for greater equity
Promote South-South cooperation
Encourage sustainable development
Reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar and Western-controlled systems
Key institutional mechanisms include:
Annual BRICS Summits
New Development Bank (NDB)
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA)
BRICS Business Council
Think Tank Network for Finance
These structures foster deeper economic integration, financial autonomy, and policy collaboration across member states.
Key Themes from the 16th BRICS Summit (Kazan, Russia 2024)
The latest summit emphasized:
Expansion and inclusion of new members
Promotion of multilateralism and peaceful conflict resolution (Ukraine, West Asia)
Financial integration through non-dollar trade systems
Launch of the BRICS Grain Exchange
Wildlife conservation (Big Cats initiative)
India-China diplomatic reset on border issues
Strategic Benefits for Individual Members
Each member contributes uniquely:

Russia: Major energy supplier and strategic geopoliticalOutreach Proramme on Sensitizing the Diductor for Better TDS / TCS Compliance

Caltrain tax legal opinion
- 1. July 21, 2020 VIA EMAIL Jim Hartnett San Mateo County Transit District hartnettj@samtrans.com Dear San Mateo County Transit District Board Members: As Special Counsel to the San Mateo County Transit District, I was tasked with looking at SB 797, the recent California law that provides a unique opportunity for Caltrain to submit a one-eighth cent sales tax measure to the voters to support our vital local train service. However, the one thing that is clear is that it must be a clean ballot proposal requiring that “the net revenues from the tax” must “be used by the board for the operating and capital purposes of the Caltrain rail services.” Simply put, the law means the political bodies needing to approve the ballot measure must not impose collateral or delaying conditions on use of the funds. Thus, the law prohibits linking the straightforward fiscal measure designed to save Caltrain to unrelated—even if salutary—organizational or other objectives. Specifically, it is my strong opinion that larding approval with requirements of changed governance or targeted or restricted spending requirements will render the tax subject to a successful taxpayer legal challenge. Importantly, there is nothing that prevents the three members of the JPA from continuing their separate discussions about organizational change and management structure. Plainly, however, the California Legislature was saying you can do that, just don’t tie such political negotiations to the overall economic wellbeing of the railway. Very truly yours, James M. Wagstaffe
