Bay Area transit tax decides the future of local public transit

Voters in five Bay Area counties will decide this fall whether to approve a sales tax that would cause deep service cuts to local transit agencies. The Regional Transit Measure (Measure RTM) will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot and could raise sales taxes by 0.5% in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, and by 1% in San Francisco, giving approximately $980 million a year to local transit agencies such as BART and the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans).

CA gas prices drop as diesel hits new high. ‘Upward swings' possible, experts say

California gas prices recently dropped but still remain near seasonal highs. Meanwhile, diesel prices have climbed to a new all-time peak. In early October, the average price of regular gasoline in California came within a few cents of the state’s record . Diesel prices have since set a new record , reaching $8.51 per gallon on Sunday, Oct. 18. Nationwide gas prices have declined in recent days due to state fuel tax suspensions and seasonal changes in fuel production . However, fuel experts warn that relief at the pump could be limited as crude oil prices remain elevated amid instability in the Strait of Hormuz. “ Average gasoline prices declined in the vast majority of states over the last week, led by a combination of state fuel tax suspensions and price-cycling markets working their way back down,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a Monday, Oct. 19, news release. “Diesel rose in most states, though the largest diesel decline was driven by a state tax suspension. The transition to winter-blend gasoline , which is generally cheaper to produce than summer-blend fuel, could also help ease prices, according to AAA. However, high crude oil costs continue

AAA: California Gas Prices Fall 15 cents In a Week

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – The average for a gallon of regular gasoline in California fell 15 cents to $6.08. The national average dropped 6 cents to $4.27 a gallon. The price decline is fueled by the transition to winter-blend gasoline which is cheaper to produce and costs less for consumers, but high crude oil prices are preventing steep declines at the pump. Currently, the price of crude oil is nearing $100 per barrel because of instability in the Strait of Hormuz.
