Transportation Questionnaire for Bay Area candidates on the June 2026 Primary Ballot
Elected officials at every level of government in the Bay Area can play a vital role in making it easier, safer, and greener for more people to get in and around our communities. How we get around and the barriers we face in that process affect nearly every aspect of our lives like housing, healthcare, economic development, safety, education, and much more. The “Sustainable Transportation Questionnaire” was sent to candidates running for US House of Representatives, State Assembly, State Senate, County Supervisor, City Council, and Mayoral positions in all Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties in order to help educate people voting in the June 2026 Primary Election.
Over 80 candidates responded to these questions about transit, traffic violence, and bike/pedestrian infrastructure. See what the candidates vying for YOUR vote have to say about transportation issues. Select your Bay Area region below to find the answers from the candidates on your ballot:
