We’re fighting for public transit that works
We need a public transit system that is fast, reliable, and easy to use. We need a system that connects every neighborhood in the city, so people everywhere can access all that San Francisco has to offer. Close to 250,000 people rely on Muni every day, and many more will need to count on transit if we are to hit our climate and sustainability goals. Join our movement to change the future of public transit in San Francisco.

We know it’s been a difficult conversation over the past few months.
