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 San Mateo and the Bay Area at-large.

Join community members and advocates for a rally on Tuesday, July 1st to pressure San Mateo County leaders to “opt-in” to the 2026 regional transportation funding measure - preventing dire service cuts to BART, Caltrain, Muni, AC Transit, and other transit agencies. We will be meeting at Millbrae Station, near the Southbound Caltrain Platform.

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

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 Santa Clara County also weighing whether to join, San Mateo’s choice is even more crucial.

If San Mateo 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.
