And SB63 passed the Senate at 1:30am! Now on to the governor's desk! It took a lot of organizing and mobilizing and compromises to get to a bill that will save and improve Bay Area transit - now on to the governor, and to people power to help gather signatures and pass the measure!

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

@rideact.bsky.social has just released its ridership data for august 2025 and to no one's surprise the 72L (formerly 72R) has completely dropped off from the top 20 most frequented lines post-realign as it runs less often it used to comfortably be in the top 10! public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

SB 79, our bill to legalize townhomes and midrise apartments near the highest-quality transit, is up for its final vote in the Senate TODAY. Calling your state Senator and asking them to support the bill will make a real difference; and it only takes a minute with our tool. Let's get this done!

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79! We need more housing & we need it near transit. It’ll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability. Go housing! Go transit!

WE DID IT

Happy BART-day to my emotional support transit system 🙂‍↕️🥳🎉🎂

diva (BART) down stay strong queen 🙏

it seems that they are still at work ironing out the kinks for the incoming customer transition, but i believe the next thing we will see is a revamped clipper website/app @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social @tsch.uy @infrastructureweak.bsky.social

it’s like clockwork at this rate (next meeting will be on monday)

The Big Sync is here! Today, BART General Manager Bob Powers and leaders from local transit agencies came together to celebrate the Big Sync, a coordinated effort among Bay Area transit agencies to sync schedules in a whole new way to make riding transit even faster.

that being said, a 22 bus driver completely skipped past my stop at RSF (the sign doesn't have a sleeve on it saying it's a new 22 stop so that might be why idk)

Happy Realign Day to those who celebrate!!!

THESE DIVAS

The SamTrans board just voted to opt in to the regional transit funding measure with SB63! With a condition that it have some sort of accountability over the funding, not specifying the details. A couple of dozen transit riders spoke in favor; business and labor leaders spoke and write in favor.

Shifting funds from highways to transit can cut emissions, save lives, reduce costs, and improve access. A new report shows how better policy can deliver economic, social, and climate benefits. climateandcommunity.org/research/let...

BART keeps winning today omg i love my emotional support transit system 🥹

@bart.gov i LOVE

BART is now set to accept bank cards for fare payment on the week of August 18 as part of the soft launch of Clipper 2.0! Integrated fare discounts are still for future deployment though. @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social @tsch.uy @infrastructureweak.bsky.social

The petition to keep the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Trail open 24/7 is now fewer than 75 signatures from the 5000-person goal. Check it out & share now so we can meet & exceed that number ahead of the August 7th meeting & vote! bikeeastbay.org/rsr
