Actually 9.
"Recommendations for Improving Transit in the Region ___________________________________

Recommendation 1. Restructure regional transit funding and pay transit operators a “bounty” per
passenger for any new riders over a defined baseline.


Recommendation 2. Establish a regional fare policy that accounts for transfers between local and
regional systems.


Recommendation 3. Local operators should pay regional operators to accept their monthly
passes for trips within their service area.


Recommendation 4. Establish a Transit Performance Initiative — a new regional capital
investment program for improving transit that becomes a part of future Regional Transportation
Plans.


Recommendation 5. Establish a set of comparative transit performance metrics and create a

tenured, independent regional officer to collect and distribute this information.
Recommendation 6: Allow transit operators to pick up and drop off passengers within each

other’s service territories.
Recommendation 7. Study joint service design and umbrella marketing for local transit operators
in lieu of merging them.


Recommendation 8: Produce a single transit map for the Bay Area to give the appearance of a
single regional transit system.


Recommendation 9. The legislature should authorize transit agency receivership for a transit
agency that continuously fails to improve on its performance metrics. "

To me the single most important item is fare integration--forcing BART and Caltrain to accept local bus passes for service in the same areas at no surcharge.
