City-Wide

Transit Justice Coalition

The Transit Justice Coalition (TJC) comprises organizations from all across San Francisco who understand that a thriving public transit system is a bedrock for equity in our city and that in order to create a thriving public transit system, it needs to be built with equity top-of-mind. The coalition, convened by San Francisco Transit Riders (SFTR), has been meeting since September 2022 to articulate a vision for San Francisco public transit that prioritizes the needs of transit riders who have historically been excluded from decisions around transportation and urban planning. Our coalition includes (but is not limited to) transit riders, disability advocates, climate advocates, members of labor unions, community groups, and affordable housing providers.

By Neighborhood

Bayview-Hunters Point

SFMTA’s Bayview Community-Based Transportation Plan brought important improvements to the Bayview’s transit network, but many recommendations from residents remain unsupported and underfunded. Collaborating with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and Bayview community organizations, SFTR is diligently working to identify and address these unmet needs. We are joining forces with organizations like SFMTA, Bayview Senior Services, and Bayview Community Advocates, building upon existing community initiatives and fostering stronger bonds of trust.

Our goal is to amplify the Bayview community’s voice, with the ultimate aim of enhancing access to public transit and vital services that are indispensable for the community’s prosperity. We remain committed to uplifting the Bayview neighborhood and ensuring equitable transportation opportunities for all.

Join our Working Groups

Transit Funding Working Group

The goal of this group is to raise the voice of riders to evaluate options and build the political will for equitable transportation funding measures in 2022 and beyond. This includes doing outreach and education about the $400M Transportation GO Bond on the June 2022 Ballot, the Transportation Sales Tax on the November 2022 Ballot, and tracking the SFMTA budget and additional funding opportunities at the city and county level.

Transit Planning Working Group

The Transit Planning Working Group helps craft and advocate for a rider-led vision of San Francisco’s transportation network. It works to implement our vision of a network of Rapid Muni routes that centers the needs of riders and connects neighborhoods across the city with frequent, reliable, fast service that runs end-to-end in 30 minutes by 2030. It also discusses, evaluates, and advocates for transit priority improvements including and beyond our 30×30 vision with the support of riders and CBOs in equity-priority communities.

Past Campaigns

Read About SFTR Throughout the Years

Every year, SFTR releases an Annual Report summarizing our wins and our hopes for the future of our organization. Through these reports, we celebrate all of the people, events, campaigns, and advocacy efforts that made us successful in that year. These Annual Reports also help us, as an organization, to show our membership how we’ve advocated for riders in that past year. They also help our organization reflect on what we’ve done well and how we can continue to grow.

Ride the Vote

To keep transit front and center for the November 2024 election, we organized our Ride the Vote Questionnaire which received responses from several local, state, and federal races. These questionnaires helped voters make informed decisions and keep candidates accountable for keeping transit at the forefront.

Transportation Questionnaires

We worked with a coalition of advocates to release the San Francisco DCCC Sustainable Transportation Questionnaire and the Regional Bay Area Transportation Questionnaire for the Primary Election on March 5, 2024.

30×30: The Rapid Rider Network

30×30 our vision of a network of rapid transit lines that run end-to-end in 30 minutes by 2030. This network would connect every neighborhood with frequent, rapid Muni service.
