Transit Month
2025-09-01 - 2025-09-30 | San Francisco and Bay Area!
Start your next adventure on transit!

Public transportation is more than just a means of transportation. Transit connects communities, increases mobility, maintains our healthy environment, and opens opportunities to discover something new.
For this year’s Transit Month, San Francisco Transit Riders (SFTR) and Seamless Bay Area (SBA) are challenging everyone to hop on board to discover new adventures they can access through transit.
We’re continuing our annual tradition of celebrating the buses, trains, operators, and riders that make the wonderful Bay Area transit system we all know and ride. Public transit is essential to thriving cities and the people who make those cities special. It is more important than ever before that we show our elected leaders how important transit is to our riders and that we need to continue funding it. Let’s prove that to them this Transit Month by getting out and taking transit!
And don’t forget to join our Ride Contest! Each ride you log will enter you into a raffle for some amazing transit-themed prizes provided by our wonderful Bay Area Transit Agencies.

Ride Contest
2025-09-01 - 2025-09-30 | Online
Ride transit and win prizes!
Every ride you take on public transit run by a Bay Area transit agency is another entry into our Transit Month raffle. Track your rides to earn badges, win prizes, compete against friends, and show your love for transit!
This year there are more ways to win prizes. Some prizes require taking the most rides, but for others, each logged ride will enter your name into a raffle.
