Webinar: Understanding the Governor's proposed cuts to public transit and how we push back

Too many Californians struggle to reliably and affordably get where they need to go due to transit systems that have been underfunded for years. At the same time, the communities that currently have quality transit service were already on the brink of experiencing major cuts due to the end of federal support for transit. Which is why for months Californians have been calling on the Governor to Fund Transit, Support Our Communities and invest $2 billion in transit throughout the state. Thousands of people and over 115 organizations from all corners of the state have spoken out to support transit, and yet last week Governor Gavin Newsom proposed slashing transit funding in the state budget and Cap & Trade program.


Tune in to the webinar and Q&A with California transit advocates and policy experts to learn:

  • What the Governor's proposed budget means for your community

  • What happens next in the budget process? How could the budget get changed between now and when it is finalized? What's the timeline?

  • What's happening with the State of California's other transit funding sources like the "Cap and Trade" program

  • What we can all do to push back to save transit in California!
