Muni Proposes Budget with Fare Increase, Service Cuts, Parking Fee Increases
Today's Chronicle discusses Muni's FY 2005 and 2006 budget deficits ($15 million in FY 2005, $55 million in FY 2006) and proposals to address these by raising fares and parking fees, and also cutting service. Proposed fare and parking fee/fine increases are also on the agenda of the next meeting of the Municipal Transportation Agency board on Tuesday, February 1, at 4 pm.
Rescue Muni recommends that parking fees, parking fines, residential permit fees, and garage rates be raised to the revenue-maximizing level as part of any budget proposal. If you have comments, please attend the February 1 meeting, and also let us know what you think. We will also hold a General Meeting on February 16 to discuss these issues in detail.
