Celebrate our state budget win!

June 20, 2023 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Transit advocates and supporters will be gathering Sunday, July 30th, at Barebottle Brewing, Salesforce Park from 3-5pm to celebrate achieving a state budget win for transit.

Thanks to your support, we won a significant reprieve and new funding for transit in the state budget. After marches, rallies, and 10,000+ phone calls, Governor Newsom signed a budget that:

  • Added $1.1B in flexible funding that can easily be used for transit service to prevent cuts and regrow ridership.
  • Restored $2B in TIRCP capital funding, enabling long planned Bay Area projects to move forward.

This funding doesn’t resolve the Bay Area’s five-year transit deficit (~$2.5B), but it does stave off devastating budget cuts. Come celebrate the win and get ready for the next steps to help public transit survive and thrive!

This is a Buy Your Own Beer (from Barebottle) event. The location is outside, wheelchair accessible via elevators, kid friendly, and near a playground. Bring your loved ones!
