Volunteer Celebration - Survive and Thrive campaign to save transit
Start: Sunday, July 30, 2023• 3:00 PM
End: Sunday, July 30, 2023• 5:00 PM
We rallied - marched - flyered - called - and spoke out - to save transit. We won funding to fend off transit cuts. The fight's not over, but it's time to celebrate and savor a win.
We will be gathering Sunday, July 30th, at Barebottle Brewing, Salesforce Park from 3-5pm to celebrate achieving a state budget win for transit.
This is a Buy Your Own Beer event. The location outside is kid friendly, with a nearby playground. Bring your loved ones!
Please register to make sure we save enough space at the park!
What we won in the state budget
- Adds $1.1B in flexible funding that can easily be used for transit service to prevent cuts and regrow ridership
- Restores $2B in TIRCP capital funding, enabling long planned Bay Area projects to move forward.
This funding doesn't resolve the Bay Area's five-year transit deficit (~$2.5B), but it does stave off devastating budget cuts. Come celebrate the win and get ready for the next steps to help public transit survive and thrive.
