Protesters at a mock funeral for public transit in front of San Francisco City Hall June 3.
Current status of public transit in Governor Gavin Newsom’s state budget proposal: not good. Unfortunately, the most recent budget proposals voted on by the legislature currently do not provide nearly enough funding to meet the need to prevent transit cuts and regrow ridership. This would force transit agencies like Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and Caltrain to choose between preventing service cuts and important capital priorities, and would abandon $6 billion ($6,000,000,000) in federal matching funds.
Senator Scott Wiener is working hard to address this situation. Here’s more from Senator Wiener:
The Governor’s proposed budget defers more than $2B in transit capital & doesn’t address the devastating fiscal cliff transit agencies face.
I was joined by a diverse group of Legislators, from both Houses & various parts of CA, to ask that our budget address this critical need. pic.twitter.com/87WQn96HDe
