Tomorrow - May 6: Rally For Transit Service! |
|
The Metropolitan Transporation Commission (MTC) is our regional transit funding agency, which means they receive the funds from the federal government for public transit and then distribute that funding to local agencies. MTC plans to hold on to $1.7B of federal recovery transit funding until late July, after San Francisco will adopt its budget. This will prevent a full return of transit while transit riders are being passed up and many Muni routes are still suspended. We need service restored as quickly as possible! Ridership is returning faster than expected. If service isn't ready to handle demand, it will hurt our recovery; hurt our students; hurt our essential workers. It will leave us in worse traffic and we'll miss our chance to "build back better" for an equitable, sustainable future. Join us Thursday, May 6, at 12:30, along with a regional coalition of social justice advocates, climate activists, unions, and more for a rally and march from the Transbay Terminal to the MTC office in downtown San Francisco. |
