Rally for Transit in Santa Clara County

Start: Tuesday, July 29, 202506:00 PM

Bay Area transit is struggling, and is at risk of becoming much worse. In order to meet our climate, economic growth, affordability, air quality, public health, and justice goals we need drastically improved transit service for Santa Clara County and the Bay Area at-large.

Join community members and advocates for the Rally for Transit in Santa Clara County on Tuesday, July 29th starting at 6pm to pressure local leaders to “opt-in” to the 2026 regional transportation funding measure - preventing dire cuts and improving service for Caltrain, VTA, BART, and other transit agencies. We will be meeting at the Santa Clara County Government Center.

If Santa Clara County doesn't “opt-in,” transit agencies serving the County will be forced to slash service: stranding riders, clogging our roads, fouling our air, and stalling our economy. Residents will be left with worse transit service and it will be much harder to implement the rider-focused changes that make transit significantly better.

This is an important moment because right now, elected officials are still on the fence about whether the County should join a regional funding measure that the East Bay and San Francisco are already participating in. With San Mateo County also weighing whether to join, Santa Clara’s choice is even more crucial.

You're encouraged to wear any Caltrain, VTA, BART, or other public transit attire you may have to show our representatives that riders are watching!

Co-hosted by Santa Clara Transit 4 Transit, Transbay Coalition, Friends of Caltrain, and Seamless Bay Area, 350 Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, Mountain View Coalition for Sustainable Planning, Catalyze SV and more.
