Last night, the Legislature passed & sent to the Governor our bill to authorize a 2026 Bay Area regional revenue measure to fund our public transportation systems, SB 63.
We need these systems to be strong. Let’s get it done!

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79!
We need more housing & we need it near transit. It’ll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability.
Go housing! Go transit!

You need to finalize the loan now, @governor.ca.gov!
We’ve been informed by the Governor’s Department of Finance that it won’t agree before our legislative session ends (on Friday) to finalize a $750M bridge loan to Bay Area transit.
This loan was agreed to in our June budget. Without it, BART, Muni, et al will cut service.🧵

Our budget agreement with the Governor is now public.
We fully protected public transportation funding — reversing all proposed cuts — & fully protected the $750M loan to Bay Area transit systems we previously agreed to with the Assembly. 🧵
