We’re fighting for public transit that works
We need a public transit system that is fast, reliable, and easy to use. We need a system that connects every neighborhood in the city, so people everywhere can access all that San Francisco has to offer. We need Muni to recover better than ever from the pandemic – we need service here for the 180,000 people riding daily now, and we need service ready to grow as people return to work, to school, and to getting around. Join our movement to change the future of public transit in San Francisco.

It’s Past Time to Fund Muni
This fall, San Franciscans are being asked to make difficult decisions regarding Muni. Choices around restoring routes versus adding frequency provide no clear win for riders. While discussions about how to distribute limited resources to restore Muni service are important, addressing Muni’s severe financial deficit must be at the core of any solution that creates a more reliable, accessible and world class transit system for riders.
