SFTR is working in collaboration with the Bay Area Air District to identify transit needs directly from community members and groups within San Francisco neighborhoods. Once needs have been identified, we aim to amplify community voices to improve public transportation and help shift transportation priorities.
Our current work focuses on the Excelsior District of San Francisco. If you or someone you know is an Excelsior resident, please encourage them to take the survey below. All completed submissions are entered into a raffle to win a $250 - $500 Visa gift card OR exclusive SFTR merch!
Available in English, Español (Spanish), 中文 (Chinese), and Tagalog (Filipino) at the link below. |
