Here is the legal description of Measure Q on the ballot and voted on by the voters of Marin and Sonoma Counties in 2008.
To relieve traffic, fight global warming and increase transportation options, shall Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District be authorized to provide two-way passenger train service every 30 minutes during weekday rush hours, weekend service, a bicycle/pedestrian pathway linking the stations, and connections to ferry/bus service, by levying a 1/4-cent sales tax for 20 years, with an annual spending cap, independent audits/oversight, and all funds supporting these environmentally responsible transportation alternatives in Marin and Sonoma Counties?
Part of the tax is dedicated to building the bicycle/pedestrian path. People voted on it.
