LA is building a new $1.5 billion freeway into LAX. The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away

$60 BILLION. That’s how much Californians will save on energy costs because of the bills I signed today. Lower electricity bills. Preventing gas price spikes. A big win for Californians.

California lawmakers promised a $750M loan to sustain Bay Area transit until a 2026 regional sales-tax vote. But unless finalized by Tuesday, BART service could drop by 80%. "The clock is running out," says Laura Tolkoff. "We're doing our part—we need them to do theirs."

Today, the state of California passed a budget that protects $1.1 billion in previously promised transit relief funds and provides a new $750 million loan to BART, Muni, Caltrain and AC Transit. This will stave off severe service cuts.

Over 1.2 million people in the Bay rely on transit according to recent Clipper data. But despite playing a vital role to our regional and state economy, transit agencies are in desperate need of funding. Let’s put some of those numbers into perspective.

Lots to unpack on Gov. Newsom’s May Revise and its impact on transit. Here’s what we know. The MR’s Cap-and-Invest Plan effectively resets the Cap-and-Trade Expenditure Plan established in 2014 as well as years of budget actions to direct multi-year funding to various programs. 1/X

This is pretty insane. I've never seen this level of coordination in transit advocacy across the state before. It's been a tough year. Our politicians have failed to solve transit funding problems for many years, and now everything is down to the wire in a bad budget year.
