The San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority, which oversees critical transit services, faces scrutiny over its unilateral decision-making, highlighting a significant lack of community engagement in transit operations.
In its 2022 business plan, the San Joaquin JPA touted the transit potential of downtown Antioch, but soon after voted to shut down service to the very community it sought to develop.
Despite overseeing the transportation of over 700,000 passengers annually, the San Joaquin JPA has operated with minimal oversight, prompting concerns about their accountability to transit-dependent communities.
The decision to cut train services in Pittsburg and Antioch was made without adequate public notification, raising alarms about the authority's transparency and respect for community needs.
