Also, stickers, banners, flyers, posters, and all that sort of stuff that we deployed as part of this effort really adds up cost-wise. If you're able to become a monthly $15 donor (about a roundtrip BART from Richmond to Millbrae) that'd be a big help! www.transbaycoalition.org/donate/

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

Great article on the status of the regional transit measure. The short version is: * MTC decided polling was too low to put it on the ballot. * A group of labor, business, and transit rider advocates have picked it up and are running a ballot initiative! That will only need 50% + 1.

For the bus fans, a @countyconnection.bsky.social #4 bus! There's currently a proposal to simplify this downtown loop route to improve reliability and frequency, details and how to comment at countyconnection.com/2025/

AC Transit is considering the purchase of 47 Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Electric Buses (FCEB) costing over $1.7M per vehicle! We are concerned this will worsen service for riders because 2018 and 2022 FCEBs have proven to be unreliable and expensive to operate actransit.legistar.com/LegislationD...

In 2024, AC Transit's hydrogen bus fleet achieved an availability rate of 43% (for the 2018 variety) and 64% (for the 2022 variety). Essentially you need twice as many hydrogen buses as service you want to run actransit.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=...

As Mayor of Berkeley—and as someone who regularly relies on public transit—I urge Governor Newsom to approve the $750 million state loan to stabilize Bay Area transit agency budgets and prevent devastating service cuts. Read the full statement: www.mayoradenaishii.com/from-the-may...

Call in and speak out!

Want to help save Bay Area transit and got time tomorrow (or tonight!) to hit the streets to spread the word? You can download & print the flyer to pass out to folks here www.transbaycoalition.org/wp-content/u...

Most of your fellow transit riders DO NOT know that the transit services they rely on are on the chopping block and that they can take meaningful action to help prevent the cuts. Help get the word out to your neighbors, friends, family and fellow transit riders!

Want to help prevent massive cuts to BART, Muni, AC Transit, and Caltrain? Got time this weekend & access to a printer? The pdf for the flyer for Monday morning's Emergency Rally is here www.transbaycoalition.org/wp-content/u... Please print out and put up in your community.

BART service wouldn't meltdown if California funded transit. In July @governor.ca.gov promised an emergency loan to stop Bay Area transit cuts. But with just a few days left to issue the loan and Newsoms hasn't made good on his promise. Please call and remind him! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We need stable funding for local transit & high speed rail in California, write to your reps and tell them to strengthen the Cap-and-Trade program. Make polluters pay their fair share so we can build and run the transit service needed to tackle climate change! transformca.org/cap-and-trad...

We WON! Huge collective victory thanks to the tens of thousands of people & 120+ coalition partners who spoke out, rallied, dropped banners, and everything else to make this happen. Big ups to Sen. Wiener & Arreguin & Asm. Gonzalez for leading the charge in Sacramento.

Good news! California legislators are: -REJECTING Gov Newsom's proposed transit cuts -Proposing a $750M in loans to Bay Area transit agencies to prevent immediate service cuts Call Newsom & tell him to take the deal! Let's save transit! www.movecalifornia.org/state-funding

There is, umm, a lot going on in California right now. But the state budget waits for no one, and public transit funding is still at risk. Activate your fellow riders this week with flyers. Let them know that the service they depend on may not exist next year without restoration of state funds.

There's over a million people in California who use transit and over 30,000 people work in transit... how many of them do you think know that @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is trying to CUT funding for transit service by 30%? How many have called their reps? ahttps://www.movecalifornia.org/state-funding

🚨We need to get the word out as fast and as far as possible so we flood Sacramento with calls before thiey slash transit service funding by 30%. Can you help get this alert to your networks? To reddit groups? To big transit-friendly social media accounts? All hands on deck!

📣ALERT📣 Bus and train service in California is under threat as the state is DAYS AWAY from finalizing its budget with Governor Newsom's MASSIVE CUTS to transit service funding. Call your reps and tell them to REJECT Newsom's cuts and instead FUND TRANSIT! www.movecalifornia.org/state-funding

Fun times at our little picnic today in Palo Alto, plus got to see the tree that the city is named after (with @caltrain.com in the background)!

Victory! More Bus Stop Benches Coming Soon to the East Bay www.transbaycoalition.org/victory-more...

Richmond City Council PASSES the policy & directs stuff to establish a permitting process for community-led bus stop bench installations!!! Huge thank you to Councilmember Jamelia Brown & Vice Mayor Cesar Zepeda for bringing this to council & championing the policy. Excited to work with city staff!

Gavin Newsom’s May budget revise not only failed to include the $2b necessary to keep public transit alive but revoked previously won funding, including for maintenance. Now, BART’s literally on fire. The crisis couldn’t be more blatantly spelled out. Take action at www.movecalifornia.org

Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to weigh in on these resolutions in support of transit funding! And huge thanks to Senators @jessearreguin.bsky.social and @scottwiener.bsky.social for their ongoing leadership to secure state and regional transit funding.
