Finally, the Central Valley IOS will complete construction under the next governor. Our next governor needs to make a decision about where to go next. Whether that's SF, LA, or Gilroy & Palmdale, we need leadership so pre-construction work can start.

CAHSR continues to struggle with funding uncertainty. Our current governor provided guaranteed certainty and private financing potential through the GGRF last year, then ripped it away this year by messing with the financing. Our next governor needs to identify and commit to a source of funding.

Our next governor could use the bully pulpit to tell local governments to knock it off when they try to demand costly alignment changes after years of planning. www.kget.com/news/local-n...

Our next governor could support judicial streamlining, so that CAHSR's eminent domain cases are decided by a dedicated court in Sacramento, not by landowners' golf buddies. Taxpayers shouldn't be overpaying for land or waiting around for years to cases to resolve.

Our next governor could throw their weight behind permitting reform to move from an extractive process to a standardized, time-bound, transparent process where CAHSR, utilities, and local governments come together to work out conflicts rather than making costly demands. ifp.org/transit-proj...

Promising statement on CA high-speed rail from Becerra here. Looking forward to hearing more about how he would cut through high-speed rail bottlenecks as governor - we've got some ideas. 🧵 www.newsweek.com/california-e...

Instead of spending $11B on a highway that will be underwater by the time it's complete, electrify and expand SMART!

A memorial for Rod Diridon, Sr. will be taking place next Thursday, June 25th at 2pm at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. No RSVP is required and the service is open to all. 🕊️

Transbay doesn't have an office or else we'd 100% take them up on this. We use donor dollars on rally supplies and fair booth fees and NOT on rent. We're trying to get two new $5/month donors today! Donate here: www.transbaycoalition.org/donate/

Next up: Connect Bay Area qualifies for the ballot, and then it'll be time to win two campaigns for funding this November!

Last week @airresources.bsky.social approved rule changes that would give over $3b in free pollution allowances to Big Oil & industrial polluters while reducing revenue for transit, affordable housing, clean water & air programs. 👉 Take action now bit.ly/4edzf6t via @transbaycoalition.bsky.social!

100 public comments made so far -- by our count 70 of the commenters oppose cuts to clean air, clean water, public transit, and affordable housing funds The others have largely been speakers from big corporations

200 more public commenters in the queue. CARB board says comments will go into the evening with the vote being tomorrow...

Over 60 public comments have been made so far, mostly against but two dozen big polluters happy with the proposal. We expect 100+ more comments to come. Glad to see @rideact.bsky.social @countyconnection.bsky.social speaking out

1/x We’re tuning in to California’s @airresources.bsky.social hearing. Today, Newsom’s air regulators are considering rushed changes to the Cap-and-Invest system that would divert BILLIONS from housing, transit, clean water— and send it straight to Big Oil.

Joined rally in #SanFrancisco with @carterlavin.bsky.social of @transbaycoalition.bsky.social, calling ‪@governor.ca.gov‬ to demand @airresources.bsky.social rejects changes that would take $ away from #Transit, #AffordableHousing, #CleanAir and #CleanWater, and put it in the pockets of #BigOil. 1/4

Big crowd today calling for California Cap-and-Invest funding to stay for housing and transit, rather than a multibillion dollar giveaway to Big Oil. Keep contacting @governor.ca.gov and @airresources.bsky.social ahead of tomorrow's vote! Link to send letter in the reply.

In the last few weeks, we've seen several stories come to light of hyper-local interests inflating the cost and timeline of CA High-Speed Rail. The legislature and next governor can intervene to fix this, but will they? Read more in our NEW BLOG: calelectricrail.org/blockers-and...

Jeez poster board, printer ink, and craft supply costs really add up when you have to host lots of rallies! Help us out by becoming a monthly $5 donor? www.transbaycoalition.org/donate

While Bay Area transit supporters have been doing our best to collect the signatures needed to get a $1B transit funding measure on the ballot, Gavin Newsom's CARB appointees are prepping to vote TO TAKE BILLIONS FROM public transit actionnetwork.org/events/emerg... www.kqed.org/news/1208484...

Extremely proud of all the hard work Transbay Coalition members from across the region have put in to this and we're excited to phonebank, knock doors and do whatever it takes to get the measure passed! Get involved in transit advocacy throughout the Bay! transbaycoalition.org/join

I’ll be at the rally Wednesday at noon. This is too important not to go! We must save our climate by saving this critical funding for transit and affordable housing. I’ll be BARTing from 12th Street and will share train details Tuesday, for East Bay folks who want to ride together.

Wild that @airresources.bsky.social wants to give billions of dollars to Big Oil by taking money away from public transit & affordable housing programs Read more: envirovotersedfund.org/cap-and-inve... and send a letter actionnetwork.org/letters/carb...

Looking forward to our All-Member meeting tomorrow! Register here: actionnetwork.org/events/trans... We're talking regional measure to save transit, legalizing bench installation at bus stops, California high speed rail, bus service to downtown Pleasanton, make a friend on transit day & much more!

“If you’re in the Bay Area, one of the absolute most important things you can do for the climate is get yourself a signature packet, talk to neighbors, get some signatures, help us save our transit,” says Carter Lavin, co-founder of @transbaycoalition.bsky.social. 🧵 2/3

So so looking forward to Viva Calle San Jose this weekend -- it's going to be amazing and we hope to see you all there (and hey -- come gather signatures to help save BART, Caltrain & expand bus service in the area!) luma.com/urzsp8hj

Great letter to the editor supporting the SMART train. I too despite sitting in traffic, which is probably a near-universal sentiment! Let's give more people more alternatives to sitting in traffic.

Love it! Great to see AC Transit leadership doing the best they can to run a tight ship -- but if we want to stop cuts to bus service in the East Bay (and save transit throughout the Bay) we need to pass the @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure! So come help gather signatures luma.com/connectbayar...

The Board provided many ideas to explore, as did callers, and now management can make a proposal. Much discussion to come, but the direction has been set, I hope. Thanks to @transbaycoalition.bsky.social members who put out the alert (👀 @carterlavin.bsky.social ) and all those who spoke:

Love seeing Muni and BART with the highest rail ridership growth in the US. If we pass @connectbayarea.bsky.social measure, ridership growth will continue. If we don’t, service will be slashed and ridership will plummet - Bay Area way of life and economy will crumble. We must pass this measure!

@seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social, North Bay Transit Riders, and @transbaycoalition.bsky.social sent a letter with feedback on MASCOTS that included this concern, and I understand others raised it as well. marintransit.gov/sites/defaul...

Speak out at Wednesday's AC Transit Board meeting to say NO to service cuts and fare increase actionnetwork.org/events/speak...
