Bay Area transit just had one of its most politically successful legislative sessions in part because of Transbay & Seamless’s leadership in the pro-transit community. Together we won $750 million in new funding to prevent imminent cuts to BART, AC Transit, Muni, and Caltrain and passed a bill that sets the stage for getting hundreds of millions of dollars annually for transit funding.

All while also scoring local wins like getting Richmond to explore legalizing community-led bench installations at bus stops and pushing for BayPass, the unlimited transit program which just expanded to some 45,0000 UC Berkeley students.

But there is still a lot of work ahead to make transit in the Bay Area plentiful, convenient, accessible, and affordable for all so come party it up while helping Transbay Coalition & Seamless Bay Area get the resources they need to sustain and scale up their organizing in the East Bay and throughout the nine-county Bay Area!

Host Committee: BART Director Barnali Ghosh, Berkeley City Councilmember Cecilia Lunaparra, Berkeley Rent Board Member Alfred Twu, Brandon Harami, Mingwei Samuels, and Hiking By Transit’s Evan Tschuy
