In less than 10 years, San Francisco plans to make at least 80% of all trips low-carbon — that means trips by transit, walking, biking, electric vehicles, and vehicles with three or more people. How do we get there, and how can we help the Earth in the meantime? In honor of Membership Month and SF Climate Week, SFTR is hosting a panel discussion on the importance of public transit in addressing San Francisco's climate goals, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and stopping climate change.

We invite you to join San Francisco Transit Riders this Thursday, April 20, for a panel discussion and Q&A with transit and climate leaders from across the city! We will ask panelists about the changes necessary to move towards a greener future in the transportation sector, and some of the challenges that stand in our way. At the end we will dedicate some time to an audience Q&A.

Panelists include:

• Amanda Eaken, Chair of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board of Directors
• Jason Henderson, Professor in the department of Geography & Environment at San Francisco State University and author of Street Fight: The Politics of Mobility in San Francisco
• Tom Radulovich, Policy & Planning for Livable City, and a former elected director of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District from 1996 to 2016
• John Anderson, 350 San Francisco Coordinating Committee member

Event tickets start at $5. Supercharge your donation at checkout to also get access to our post-event happy hour and mixer!

Face masks are encouraged.

Speak up for transit! Don't let your voice go unheard. Tomorrow, we will be joining Dean Preston and other transit leaders to rally for public transit funding! 

Join SFTR, Supervisor Dean Preston, and other transit leaders TOMORROW at 12 pm (Polk Street steps at City Hall) for rally for transit funding. And please consider signing the petition to demand the Governor includes significant public transit funding in the May revision to the budget by May 14, 2023, and the Assembly and the Senate to their own revised versions by June 2023.

Bay Area transportation agencies are in a dire situation and need state support and need ongoing and reliable funding from the state to support Bay Area transit systems to serve the millions of Californians that rely on public transit everyday. We hope you'll raise your voice for transit today!

This Earth Day, spend it with SFTR at Earth Day SF!
