"Public transportation is more than just a means of transportation. Transit connects communities, increases mobility, maintains our healthy environment, and opens opportunities to discover something new. For this year's Transit Month, SFTR and Seamless Bay Area are challenging everyone to hop on board to discover new adventures they can access through transit. We're continuing our annual tradition of celebrating the buses, trains, operators, and riders that make the wonderful Bay Area transit system we all know and ride."
"Transit advocates have their work cut out for them this September. Muni is reducing service and is on the edge of a financial precipice. And the mayor of San Francisco threatens to tamp down downtown's economic recovery by allowing private cars to return to Market Street, which will delay transit, incur even more costs by prioritizing private cars over bus riders, and endanger cyclists. It's a lot. And it can feel overwhelming."
San Francisco's transit system faces service reductions and a looming financial precipice. A mayoral plan to allow private cars back on Market Street would delay transit, increase costs by prioritizing cars over bus riders, and endanger cyclists. Transit Month celebrates the role of transit in connecting communities, increasing mobility, protecting the environment, and opening opportunities for discovery. SFTR and Seamless Bay Area organize events encouraging residents to ride transit and explore new adventures accessible by buses and trains. The campaign emphasizes honoring operators and riders, demonstrating transit's importance to thriving cities, and urging continued funding from elected leaders. A schedule of events and a short video provide information.
