MTC Select Committee: Constructing the Path Forward
2024-08-26 09:30 - 17:00 | Bay Area Metro Center, 375 Beale St., San Francisco, CA, Temezcal Room
Some Select Committee members see a sales tax as the path of least resistance, so we need to show up and show them that while we might not be well-funded, we are organized and opposed to regressive taxes that will harm working families!
At this meeting, the Select Committee will be weighing in on various regional measure scenarios to study. Please join your fellow VPT members at the meeting to advocate for a scenario that is progressively funded and covers all nine Bay Area Counties. We know that being timid will only be harmful — that what Bay Area voters actually want is a measure that will transform public transit into a system that actually works! Now we just need to convince the Select Committee and we are going to need all hands on deck to do that.

Transit Equity Day
2026-02-04 08:00 - 17:00
On the week of Wednesday, February 4th, 2026, join the Labor Network for Sustainability & Transit Equity Network for Transit Equity Day 2026: Transit Moves Democracy–a national day of action and storytelling that lifts up workers, riders, and communities fighting for just, accessible, and fully funded public transit.
For this year’s Transit Equity Day, our theme is: Transit Moves Democracy. Join the Labor Network for Sustainability as we center worker and community voices as leaders in the fight for just and equitable transit–highlighting the shared interests of riders, communities, workers, and the planet for fully-funded, robust, accessible, and electrified transit systems.
With increased violence and threats to our public life at the federal level, public transportation does not stand solely as a service. Public transit resists authoritarian strategies that cut routes, privatize systems, and bust unions as a way of weakening workers and disenfranchising communities. Transit connects communities when fascists want us to be increasingly more disconnected. Every bus line defended is a vote defended. Every contract fought is for democracy protection. Transit Equity is climate justice in practice, and public transit is frontline climate infrastructure.
