At a precarious moment for Muni, S.F. releases results of annual rider survey Seventy-eight percent of riders surveyed last year said Muni service was excellent or good, according to Mayor Daniel Lurie.

Love to see that Muni is still killing it in customer satisfaction! The only way to keep that going is to ensure there is sufficient new funding to fill the agency's deficit. Come join the kick off for Stronger Muni for All tomorrow, or come gather signatures to help the measure get on the ballot!

regional transit connections map, lots of transit on it across the whole Bay

The Bay Area's new transit map is out and it comes with one incredibly exciting change: parks accessible by transit services!

Let's talk regional wayfinding to parks and destinations 🧵

After the first regional transit map went out, I worked with @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social and @transbaycoalition.bsky.social to provide feedback on how MTC could use this opportunity to increase awareness of our accessible parklands: and it made it in!

If you live in Alameda County and have even considered buying an e-bike, apply! And if you already have an e-bike, share this with someone else who might need one.

Chances to win are high and the rebate is significant. I know several folks who have received rebates and redeemed them for e-bikes.

Huzzah!

Thanks for helping spread the word! And we've got events throughout SF, and the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Mateo -- come on out

Also, stickers, banners, flyers, posters, and all that sort of stuff that we deployed as part of this effort really adds up cost-wise.

If you're able to become a monthly $15 donor (about a roundtrip BART from Richmond to Millbrae) that'd be a big help!

Newsom approves $590 million loan for struggling transit agencies Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday authorized a $590 million loan to bolster struggling transit agencies in the Bay Area, some of which could collapse without an economic lifeline.

Victory!!! The emergency SHORT TERM transit relief funding that we all worked so so hard for has officially come through. Thanks to EVERYONE who helped make this happen -- this buys us the time we need to get the long-term funding passed via the regional measure www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

If BART must slash service, my busy days like today wouldn’t be possible.

Thanks to BART I spent the morning with family, went to work in Oakland, an event for Auditor Jenny Wong in Berkeley, an El Cerrito commission meeting, and got back for bedtime.

We must pass the transit funding measure!

Meet your transit bestie today It's National Make a Friend Day and the Transbay Coalition has volunteers at bus stops, ferry terminals, BART and CalTrain stations to encourage commuters to talk to each other.

@transbaycoalition.bsky.social made a game for the whole Bay to play on #MakeaFriendDay (today)! The game: see someone else with a nametag, say hi and ask them about the thing they wrote on the nametag. BART riders were encouraged to board the second car to help facilitate connection. Cute!

Art of the Day - Make a Friend on Transit Day, for a fun organizing event with Transbay Coalition!

A large poster of the water color flyer for Make a Friend (on Transit) Day made by Alfred Twu. It shows three friendly people sitting on transit chatting with each other, wearing name tags. Mini personifications of a smiling BART train (with name tag) a bus and a ferry are also on board engaged in conversation. In the lap of a person is a smiling Caltrain akin to a lap-dog, and another person has a tote bag with a picture of a BART car face on it. The Transbay Coalition logo is in the lower right corner. Below the picture it says "Play a game with the whole Bay! 1) Fill out & wear a nametag 2. Talk to other nametag wearers. 3. (optional) Come to a local get-together tonight!"

Wednesday morning is going to be great!

We'll have folks at a BUNCH of @bart.gov & @caltrain.com stations plus the Jack London @sfbayferry.com. Special shout out to @countyconnection.bsky.social @trideltatransit.bsky.social and LAVTA for all their help on this.

I’m so glad that the BART excursion fare 30 minute grace period policy I authored and passed 3 years ago is working well for riders, now that Clipper 2 is here. Useful in so many situations!

I benefited from it yesterday, using the restroom at del Norte BART before joining the 7 bus party.

Millbrae connection could use more signage work. But dare I say it, it's nice to be on a BART that is a bit quieter.

One last leg after BART: a quick bike ride to a fundraiser for 2 of the most critical transit orgs in the Bay Area, @seamlessbayareaca.bsky.social / @transbaycoalition.bsky.social.

Getting excited for next week! Want to lend a helping hand to build friendships throughout the Bay at @bart.gov @caltrain.com @sfbayferry.com @countyconnection.bsky.social stations? Join in the fun: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Big cuts will still happen next year if we do not pass the measures, but this is a huge huge victory for the Bay and a testament to the power of everyone's organizing to make this happen. (8/x)
