The future of Bay Area transit just got a little bit clearer
We still need to pass the transit sales tax in November
Last Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom signed a historic $590 million loan to Bay Area transit agencies, providing a clear path forward for transit in the area. The next step will come in November of this year, when voters must choose: approve a regional transportation sales tax to fund the agencies or accept massive cuts, including up to 15 closed BART stations and trains not running after 9 p.m.
SEIU 1021 speaks up for public transit in the Bay Area
On Monday, March 18, Transit Worker Appreciation Day, SEIU 1021 BART Chapter President John Arantes spoke in support of SB 1031, new legislation that would fund Bay Area public transit in a sustainable way and prevent service cuts. “A thriving and equitable California relies on public transit,” Arantes said.

Tell your elected official to support SB 532 to keep transit safe, accessible, and reliable
Public transit systems in the Bay Area, including AC Transit, BART, and SF Muni, are facing a fiscal cliff due to declining revenues from riders. Without an infusion of revenue, these agencies will be forced to implement drastic cuts that will hurt Bay Area residents who depend on public transit, harm efforts to reduce air pollution, and cost SEIU 1021 members at Muni and BART their jobs.
