Without this promised emergency loan from the state, millions of people in the Bay Area will suffer due to the steep cuts to transit service, the worsening traffic, and the rise in pollution.
We need to turn out in big numbers Monday morning & get loud

Inspired by @transformca.bsky.social 's piece saying San José has enough parking for every person in the city to park 2x, our volunteer Tevin H mapped all the downtown parking lot. So much potential! How would you like to see this land used?

The Regional Funding Measure for Transit would raise hundreds of millions of dollars for Santa Clara County to invest in VTA and to save Caltrain. But county leaders need to "Opt-In" the county to SB 63 -- the law that'd make this all possible. (H/t Dylan F. for the graphic!)

Santa Clara County has the chance to opt into the regional transit funding measure, which would stop huge transit service cuts, so join us on Tuesday, 7/29 at 6pm to tell County officials to save transit, join the regional measure!

Right now, BART and other transit systems in CA are facing huge budget shortfalls. Agencies have implemented savings where possible, but they will have to make drastic service cuts if they don't secure more funds from regional and state governments. 4/5

The results show just how critical BART is to the Bay Area. During and shortly following the shutdown, speeds on the Bridge tanked to just 28mph, compared to the average speed of 63mph, a 55% reduction. Even during the evening rush, speeds were 25% slower, from the typical 40mph to 30mph 3/5
