I think increasing the payroll tax is a mistake. People who don't own a car should actually be rewarded because they pollute far less, they don't disable workers, they don't require traffic police, they don't emit CO2....

I would replace the payroll tax with a weight tax on huge SUVs.

It says that it is for transit. If that includes public transit, it makes sense to me. I lack overall context on the bill/terminology/state, though.
