Join us in celebrating our community of riders! |
|
|
For the past fifteen years, San Francisco Transit Riders has been lucky to be supported by a community of riders who are as passionate about public transportation as we are. Since our inception, SFTR has been San Francisco’s only member and community-led non-profit, fighting for an equitable, safe, and affordable system that all residents can benefit from. This is why we must keep protecting transit and transit riders throughout the Bay Area. We are not slowing down anytime soon!
Join us in celebrating our members, riders, and public transit at our upcoming 15th Anniversary Celebration. Join us at the beautiful SOMArts, where we'll have guest speakers, fun raffles, delicious refreshments, and other exciting surprises! Event Details: Date: Sunday, April 13, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Location: SOMArts 934 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103 |
