SFMTA is grappling with a staggering budget deficit projected to reach $322 million by 2026, largely attributed to weakened general fund revenues and the conclusion of federal pandemic assistance. This funding makes up a significant portion of the agency's budget, highlighting a need for immediate solutions. Unfortunately, the city's response has included service cuts that adversely affect transit riders. The Muni Now Muni Forever campaign advocates for state funding and aims to influence local legislators and the mayor to secure necessary funds while protecting public transit services.
SFMTA's significant budget deficit of up to $322 million by 2026 is primarily due to decreased general fund performance and the end of federal pandemic aid.
The city's strategy of balancing the budget through service cuts is detrimental to public transit riders and the city's overall transportation system.
