A task force proposal on tolls and sales tax allocations evolved during implementation. The plan shifted to a 7 percent share of the half cent sales tax to BART with the rest split by MTC among BART AC Transit and Muni, while a 35 percent fare to operating cost ratio was retained and a 1 percent efficiency factor and labor linkage were dropped. Agencies will apply for funds project by project under a policy approved by the MTC grant review committee, pending full board approval.
