A Midwestern company that is the exclusive US distributor of Belgian buses is the main backer of two AC Transit ballot measures in this election. Public records show that ABC Companies of Faribault, Minnesota, the distributor of Van Hool buses of Belgium, is the main financial supporter of the campaign for Measure VV, a parcel tax in Alameda and Contra Costa counties that would benefit AC Transit. ABC Companies also is the primary financier of the campaign against Measure KK, a Berkeley measure that could kill AC Transit’s controversial Bus Rapid Transit plan.
