Last Friday (5/9), a computer issue suspended all BART service from before 5am until after 9am. While service was restored before the end of the morning rush, the resulting traffic impacts were felt for the rest of the day, showing just how important BART is and why we need to protect its future 1/5

Yesterday advocates across CA, from Arcata to LA, including many DSA members, executed coordinated banner drops demanding Gavin Newsom fund public transit. Transit agencies like Muni, BART, and Caltrain are facing fiscal cliffs and are considering service cuts to balance budgets.

👀 It looks like there were banner drops all over the state this morning calling on @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to properly fund public transit. I am here for it. Newsom announced the May state budget revise drops tomorrow. That would be a good time make it clear he intends to, indeed, fund transit.

A day before Gov. Newsom releases the May budget revision, transit advocates across the state have hung banners on freeway overpasses, urging him to fund public transit. A banner over the S.F. pedestrian bridge crossing at Utah/18th streets, via Fund California Public Transit.

Wait, so that's San Mateo, Hayward, LA, Santa Cruz, and Berkeley? There's got to be an SF one out there, right?

Italy is expected to have 80% of its railway electrified by 2026, but California is far behind. What can CA learn from Italy's rail modernization program?

Really solid coverage of Friday's transportation crisis. The Bay Area depends on BART and our bus systems; we must fund transit! www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

A @bart.gov outage for a few hours is terrible -- a permanent 85% cut to service would be a catastrophe and unless @governor.ca.gov & our state reps step up and funds transit this year, we're looking at major service cuts to BART, Muni, AC Transit, Caltrain + more actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

If California funded transit, we'd have more service and more reliable service! Tell your state reps to fund transit! actionnetwork.org/letters/fund...

This morning, the Bay Area got a glimpse of what life will be like without BART. But if the California State Legislature and @governor.ca.gov don't fund public transit in this year's budget, the situation will get much, much worse. #fundtransit @scottwiener.bsky.social @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social

Just asked a California transit manager if the state's Zero Emission Bus mandate is causing them to run less service than they otherwise would. He said: "Yes, definitely." A diesel bus only has to get 4 ppl out of cars to be better for the planet than an electric bus. Hmm.

Mobility is a right—so why is it denied to so many? For immigrants and refugees in California, simply walking to the bus stop or riding a bike to work can carry outsized risks: racial profiling, over-policing, and the constant threat of detention. (A brief thread)
