That impact is multiplied as our federal dollars also continue to prioritize suburban commuters on highways that pollute poorer neighborhoods in urban areas such as in San Francisco. Prioritizing these highways heavily impacts travel for transit dependent people – the majority of whom are low income. These communities are then more reliant on cars\, which worsens air quality in the immediate neighborhoods and ultimately has broader implications for public health and sustainability for San Francisco and the region overall. \nProfessor Kafui Ablode Attoh’s book Rights in Transit elevates the idea of transportation as a right not as merely a ‘civil right’ or even a ‘socio-economic right’ but as a fundamental right to the democratic city where urbanization politics has often alienated\, excluded\, and betrayed the economically disadvantaged\, many of whom ride public buses. \nReform only happens in the moments of systemic risk. \n\n\n\n\nHow can we tap into these lessons and move forward? How can we root and anchor our disadvantaged communities? How can we scale ideas that are a shift from venture capitalism\, carbon capture and zero emission vehicles (as are discussed recent #COP26 conversations in Glasgow)\, to energy democracy and to expanding public transit? \nWithout such a shift\, as our recent pandemic approaches have shown\, we can continue to focus on combating the symptoms and never on the root causes of our deteriorating nature and health. Please join us for an insightful conversation with Professor Kafui Attoh from City University of New York School of Professional Studies\, San Francisco Transit Riders Interim Executive Director Vinita Goyal\, and lifelong Muni rider and SFTR member Regina Islas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vinita Goyal \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Kafui Ablode Attoh \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Regina Islas URL:https://sftransitriders.org/event/rights-in-transit/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sftransitriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Rights-in-Transit-cover-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211007T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20211007T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111155 CREATED:20211007T162932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211007T163402Z UID:4274-1633627800-1633633200@sftransitriders.org SUMMARY:Member Discussion: 2022 Muni Service Proposals DESCRIPTION:SFMTA is seeking feedback from the public – and SFTR – on where to invest an additional 10% service in February 2022.

But these incidents and their solutions are not universally felt. Three-quarters of female riders have experienced harassment or theft on transit. Asian Americans have increased concerns about using transit as incidents of hate crimes and violence against them have risen\, including multiple high-profile recent incidents on Muni. Undocumented riders\, black and brown riders\, and youth’s safety concerns include fear of crimes committed against them but also extend to freedom from harassment from police officers and security. \nJoin us for a panel discussion on innovative approaches to transit safety in the Bay Area\, and how it must center the diverse experiences and needs of those who ride. This discussion is generously sponsored by Spin\, and is free and open to the public as part of Transit Month URL:https://sftransitriders.org/event/transitsafety/ CATEGORIES:Transit Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sftransitriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/safety-panel.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210921T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210921T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111155 CREATED:20210902T204528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210902T204713Z UID:4128-1632243600-1632247200@sftransitriders.org SUMMARY:How Does Bay Area Transit Stack Up? A Conversation with Christof Spieler DESCRIPTION:Join Seamless Bay Area for a conversation with transit and urban planning expert Christof Spieler about how Bay Area transit compares with the systems of other North American regions. \nWe’ll get Spieler’s insights on a range of issues covered in the newly-issued second edition of his book\, Trains\, Buses\, People: An Opinionated Atlas of US and Canadian Transit\, including fare policies\, wayfinding\, transit governance structures\, customer experience\, how to create inclusive transit systems that work for all riders. \nThe event is free and open to all. \n \n Conversation with Christof Spieler URL:https://sftransitriders.org/event/christofspieler/ CATEGORIES:Transit Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sftransitriders.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/spieler.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210914T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210914T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T111155 CREATED:20210830T051827Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210830T051830Z UID:4098-1631640600-1631646000@sftransitriders.org SUMMARY:2022 Muni Service Plan DESCRIPTION:SFMTA has a structural deficit\, which grows year after year as revenue sources just don’t keep up with expenses (like cost-of-living for bus operators and maintenance workers). Before the pandemic\, Muni was only delivering about 92% of promised service hours – which riders experience as missing busses\, unreliable transfers\, crowded vehicles\, and ever longer travel times. \nAs SFMTA absorbs federal relief funding to keep operating and roll out more coverage around the city\, the agency is figuring out how to allocate resources that continue to be insufficient as revenue (from rider fares\, sales taxes\, and parking) stays low. The agency is looking at three possible paths forward: a high-frequency network that would sacrifice some parallel service; a return to the pre-pandemic map; or a hybrid of the two. \nCome hear directly from Director of Transportation Jeff Tumlin and his planning staff about these scenarios in depth\, what the trade-offs are\, and what future each might build for Muni service.

This is an innovative partnership with Caltrans to provide transit priority on our city streets that also happen to be state highways. The current proposal allows private vehicles with two or more occupants to use these lanes\, which will likely help but doesn’t go far enough. Given that will allow ride hails (which cause much of our traffic) to use them\, we are asking for a minimum of 3 occupants in private vehicles.\nTemporary Emergency Transit Lanes on the 1 California. Based on community outreach\, these lanes have been adjusted in terms of what hours they’re enforced. We think this is an important start but want to see a fuller project as downtown traffic returns.\n\nWe need your support for these transit priority projects! \nSign up below so we can coordinate with full instructions\, talking points\, and timing. The meeting begins at 1:00pm. We don’t know what time these items will come up\, but will be watching and can let you know. \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Can’t make the meeting?
