Felix Castillo is an SFTR member and Muni Operator. He led the SFTR Masks for Muni initiative which distributed more than 1,000 masks to Muni operators and riders during the early days of the pandemic when many operators felt they needed more masks.
Felix is a member of SF Transit Riders because “what’s good for the operator is good for the rider. The less lines and service we have out there, the more crowded our buses are going to be. That makes it more dangerous for riders and operators.”

Jane Natoli is an SFTR member, and a long-time advocate for transit in the Richmond and across the city. Rider-focused advocacy matters to her because “we aren’t serving statistics – we’re serving individuals. I know the real importance of making sure these are human stories. It’s important to reflect the diversity of experience and needs of the people using public transit.” Jane has been nominated to the SFMTA board by Mayor Breed. If confirmed, she looks forward to securing stable funding for public transit and helping SFMTA do better on safe streets. “Safe streets means a lot of different things to different people – it’s not just protected bike lanes. It’s also ‘do you feel like the bus is for you?’”

Claire Teresko is an SFTR Community Organizer doing outreach to residents and community groups in District 7. They care about advocating for transit riders because “good transit allows everyone mobility, regardless of ability, age, wealth, or where someone lives. I think everyone should have the opportunity and ability to move around and access jobs, housing, groceries, and recreation in a way that's fast, reliable and convenient.”
