project within the same bridge corridor," and the WSX does not provide the same transbay service as DRC. Regardless, MTC unanimously approved the funding shift after the public hearing and withstood a subsequent legal challenge. A suit was filed seeking an injunction to block the transfer of funds, but the suit was rejected. MTC went on the offensive after the suit was rejected, threatening the plaintiffs with "any and all available remedies," and the plaintiffs dropped their lawsuit. With the loan of $91 million to WSX, Dumbarton Rail retained $44 million in RM2 funds. Alameda County Measure B1, which would have restored via a half-cent sales tax increase, failed to pass in 2012. In February 2014, MTC's Programming and Allocations Committee advanced a recommendation to redirect the remaining money from Dumbarton Rail to other projects; $9 million had already been spent on environmental studies for DRC, leaving $35 million, which would be redistributed with $20 million going to Caltrain Electrification and $15 million going to replace Dumbarton Express buses. The February presentation also redefined the $91 million loan as an "investment in BART to Warm Springs" with "No future repayment from Alameda County" necessary. The $20 million for Caltrain electrification was predicated on Caltrain receiving local matching funds, which had not been previously requested of other RM2 reallocation projects. A public hearing was held in April 2014, with the majority of comments directed towards the Dumbarton Rail proposals. In the response to public comments, the MTC staff response stated "the Dumbarton Rail Bridge connects north–south corridors on both sides of the San Francisco Bay [...] Therefore, staff considers the investment in the Warm Springs Extension (and the Caltrain Electrification Program) to be appropriate investments of these bridge toll funds." The staff response went on to mention Alameda County Transportation Commission and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority had already either reprogrammed DRC funds or failed to provide funds for DRC. After 2014, RM2 funds (aside from the $9 million already spent on environmental studies) were completely deprogrammed from DRC, leaving it with an even larger funding gap than before the passage of RM2 in 2004. 2012–2014: Alameda County Measures B1 and BB The 2012 Alameda County ballot Measure B1 would have restored to the Dumbarton Rail Corridor project through a sales tax increase in Alameda County. Measure B1 failed to pass by a small margin, and a later study showed the
