SF Transit Riders is a rider-based grassroots advocate for world-class transit in San Francisco. Join the movement. http://sftransitriders.org/join
We’re ready for U, 2026! This year, we will provide our members with up-to-date news and advocacy opportunities on transit funding, services, and voting, while also building a community of civically engaged riders. But we only win with your support.

Before we welcome 2026, please consider donating to SFTR for our End-of-Year campaign! We’re so close to our goal, but we can’t achieve it without U. Receiving these donations now would help our team to map out what’s possible for our organization next year.

Happy Holidays from SFTR! In the spirit of the season of giving, we encourage you to reflect on how we can spread the joy and accessibility of public transportation to communities across San Francisco and the Bay Area. We are privileged to live in a transit-dense city, and we don’t want to lose it!

Thank you to all of you who helped us celebrate a lifetime of achievement for one of our founders, Peter Straus, at our recent 15th Anniversary Gala. Peter's career has been dedicated to supporting Muni as an operator, planner, and now as an effective advocate.

Yesterday, the Muni Now Muni Forever campaign hosted a rally to introduce the Muni Forever Proposal. This proposes a parcel tax measure to restore and improve transit service in San Francisco, planning to raise enough money while keeping the city affordable for residents.

San Franciscans have had their bus lines cut, fares increased, and their commutes prolonged. So we’ve created a proposal that meets the needs of our city.

Join us in support of the "Muni Forever Proposal" on December 8th @ 12pm in front of the City Hall steps. RSVP and learn more: buff.ly/p88oOYW
