What is Transit Month?
Over the years through Transit Month (and formerly Transit Day and Transit Week), SFTR, Seamless, and other transit-focused agencies and organizations have reached hundreds of riders through events held across the city. SFTR has spoken directly to those who need and take the train at our Transit Hubs, and there have been in-depth panel discussions around safety on transit and the role of public transit in addressing climate change. Riders logged almost 3,000 transit trips in our Ride Contest in 2022, covering every transit agency in the Bay Area. Over the years during Transit Month, we’ve boarded and chatted with CEOs of agencies, we’ve ridden the train with Supervisors, we’ve seen new parts of town from the bus window and explored the Bay Area, and we’ve raised awareness about the importance of keeping our city moving through transit.

It is more important than ever before that we show our elected leaders how important transit is to our city, and that we need to continue funding it. Let’s prove that to them this Transit Month by getting out and taking transit!
