For those following along at home, CARB’s vote today essentially guts the greenhouse gas reduction fund and eviscerates the state’s largest sources of funding for affordable housing and public transit. At a time when we should be doubling down on them, we’re pulling away.

Today CARB voted to defund vital Transit programs and helping corporations that are causing pollution pocket more money. What’s the point of CARB if they’re in the pockets of the industry? We should get rid of useless government agencies that waste taxpayer funding

I've been working hard in Washington over the past few weeks to fight back against the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress as they carry out an illegal war in Iran, disenfranchise Black voters, and strip resources from care workers.

Small businesses often operate with limited resources, making them especially vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. That is why I am proud to introduce the Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act.

In case you thought for a brief second that the people in charge of transportation were trying to fix anything. This should make it clear where their priorities are

If state power is derived from the consent of the people, then legislative action by ballot must supersede existing statute and legal precedent. I’m not a fan of governing by ballot measures but either power resides in the people or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, you don’t have a democracy

Tickets to our first ever BART PROM are going like TOTALLY fast!! We have already sold hundreds of tickets, so get yours NOW: www.railgoods.com/bart-prom-ti...

can’t say what i want to happen to these people for legal reasons

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

If you thought the Trump admin might want to put some distance between them and the subject of this NY Times profile...here he is with Vance in Hungary yesterday

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

BART is looking for up to three, forward-thinking young adults, aged 18-25, to join our team for the "Grand Innovation Challenge" – a virtual, international competition hosted by the non-profit Introducing Youth to American Infrastructure (iyai+).

Fan support ads (aka birthday ads) are entirely fan-made, fan-organized, and fan-funded. This is the 1st time these types of ads have taken over a train station in the US, and we’re excited to help these efforts. Organize your own ad to celebrate favorite oshi, bias, or group at bart.gov/FanAds

All right, live whatevering of Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case. Arguing for the bad guys is US Solitictor General John (voice is an immutable characteristic so let's show some respect) Sauer. For the plaintiffs it's ACLU legal director Cecillia Wang.

This Admin. has been waging a war on trans people- denying medical care, peddling false narratives, scapegoating, and erasing history. Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, the Supreme Court assaulted LGBTQ+ rights again, handing down an 8-1 decision against a Colorado ban on conversion therapy.

BART MART 2 is happening!

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

Caltrans keeps telling El Cerrito they have no funds available to make safety improvements along San Pablo Avenue - a state highway - as part of a repaving project. Yet they still have no problem finding money to widen highways. California's transportation priorities are backwards and must change.

It is National Transit Employee Appreciation Day! To commemorate the day we are highlighting some of the best comments BART riders have sent us about our employees. Thread ⬇️

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

MORE 👏 HOUSING 👏 NEAR 👏 TRANSIT BART, the State of California, the City of El Cerrito, and development partner Related California have broken ground on 70 affordable apartments at the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station, marking the start of the first phase of the Transit-Oriented Development

Yes we need to reform prop 13 not only because it helps reduce supply but waiting for inheritance transfers but it also reduces public funding which cities try to make up for through development fees which help increase the cost of housing. Prop 13 is simply bad legislation

BART Directors @victorfloresbart.bsky.social & Robert Raburn were also at Oakland Chinatown Lunar New Year, & the BARTmobile made an appearance! Following BART in the parade was East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation, a nonprofit that's building affordable housing at Lake Merritt station.

ICYMI — “Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop the night of Feb. 19... He was found dead five days later.” They say it was open. It wasn’t. 37 degrees outside. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

All BART lines are going back up now.

We had a computer network hardware fail but have cut over to another device and will be in the process of restoring service.

Get excited for new BART Anime events! BART MART is a series of smaller pop-up art markets in BART stations. BART MART 1 is coming to Downtown Berkeley Station on Wednesday, March 4, from 3 to 6pm. BART MART 2 is coming to Millbrae Station on Thursday, March 26, from 4 to 7pm.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Happy Black Joy Day Bay Area! BART Director @victorfloresbart.bsky.social , staff, and family are riding with the BARTmobile through downtown Oakland for the celebration! The festival is happening now until 7 p.m. so take BART to 19th. St Oakland to enjoy the festivities!

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Fantastic stuff here from Pritzker. If you're a Democratic governor, mayor, or city council member in a high COL blue state right now and you aren't laser focused on increasing the infill housing supply, either get your shit together or resign and let someone who will do the job.

At a time when Black history is being erased, it’s more important than ever to keep diverse stories and histories alive. This Black History Month, I wanted to share books that have inspired me and are fundamental to my thinking, politic, & how I represent our district in the Capitol every day.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

He asked all those who'd traveled from outside the U.S. to stand up...

BART is recovering from an earlier problem. There is a 20-minute delay in the Berryessa, SFO and Millbrae directions due to an earlier equipment problem on the track between 19th St. Oakland and MacArthur station.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

It’s so hard to imagine no BART that it’s challenging to process that phase 2 (cutting service 70%, closing 15 stations) will ultimately lead to BART suspending service entirely. Slashing service would crater ridership and revenue and lead to end of BART. We must pass Connect Bay Area measure!

I was in a CoreCivic prison in AZ years ago. Food was hot garbage. Ppl would lose like 20 pounds within months of arriving. When I was in the hole we had to protest by boarding up our windows because medical request were taking hella long to be answer if they ever got answered at all. IIRC they also

Today’s BART board workshop was sobering. We reviewed potential service and budget cuts in the event that we don’t get additional revenue. We explored closing stations, lines, and service hours. One thing that I don’t think ppl understand is that the phase two approach is the best case scenario.

It was wonderful to join the Oakland Chinatown community last weekend for the annual Lunar New Year celebration. May the year of the horse bring you and your family joy, prosperity, and good health.

With the looming deficits for CA and local governments, we need to take a serious look at repealing Prop 13 even if it means redoing the entire constitution. We can’t keep going back to working families and asking them to subsidize major land owners

I recently introduced the RIDER Safety Act! We all know that safe and reliable public transit keeps our communities connected --getting people to work, school, and more... (1/2)

Attention Passengers: An earthquake occurred within the area serviced by BART. Trains are running at reduced speeds while we complete safety track inspections. Please expect residual delays of up to 20 minutes systemwide.

I was so proud to join labor, transit, and community leaders at the 19th Street BART Station in Oakland to announce my new bill - the RIDER Safety Act!

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
