SamTrans is predicting a $28 million budget deficit by 2024 if it maintains existing levels of service and revenue sources, driven largely by growing employee pension obligations. In November 2017 the agency announced that it would place another -cent (0.5 percent) sales tax, dubbed "Get Us Moving", on the county's November 2018 ballot. Officially SamTrans has not developed a spending plan for the estimated $80 million in annual revenues, but according to the "San Mateo Daily Journal", "A very preliminary proposal suggested half of the money go toward SamTrans and Caltrain, both facing financial difficulty. The remaining revenue could be allocated in a manner similar to the current countywide transportation tax that supports projects covering highways, local roads, grade separations, bikes, pedestrians and other transit-related expenditures." The Staff Report stated that half the revenue raised by the proposed tax would go to public transit projects, with the remainder going to highway/interchange improvements (22.5%), local safety/pothole repairs (12.5%), regional connections (10%), and bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure (5%). Measure W passed on the November 2018 ballot; requiring a two-thirds majority, 66.9% of voters approved the measure.
