SF Transit Riders Union

It’s not just Muni. Transit agencies everywhere are suffering declining budgets and implementing deep service cuts.

While in the long run, Congress and the President need to step up with more taxes to fund better transit, a bill in Congress would stave off some of the worst cuts in the short term by authorizing about $2 billion in emergency operating funding. There are two things you should do to support this effort.

1. Write a letter to Senators Boxer and Feinstein, encouraging them to support the bill. You can use this form at Transportation for America’s webpage.

2. Attend the San Francisco rally with Jesse Jackson and other transit advocates as part of a national campaign to support this bill. The rally is at noon at the Federal Building on June 29!
