Transit in California is struggling. Agencies across the state are on the verge of having to cut service, offering far less service than our communities deserve, and sometimes both. They need more funding. Washington DC isn't going to save the day, so it is up to us. It is up to the State Government of California to step up and fund transit -- and RIGHT NOW, our elected representatives in Sacramento are coming up with the spending plan for the state’s $300 Billion budget. A group of legislators are pushing to get $2 Billion from the state budget to fund transit agencies and support our communities across the state.

But to get that funding, we need to get more legislators and the Governor on board with the proposal. Making sure they get the message loud and clear: “Fund Transit, Support Our Communities," is going to take a lot of work -- and so we need your help in this campaign.

Whatever skills you bring to the table (or are up for learning) can be used to help the campaign. We need people who can help write, research, edit, graphic design, pass out flyers, organize databases, translate materials, and so much more. If you want to help out, or are curious to learn more, please register to join in to this Volunteer Orientation for the Fund Transit, Support Our Communities Campaign to get a behind-the-scenes look at what's happening, what work needs to be done, and how you can help out.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please email us at info@transbaycoalition.org

Thank you for stepping up to support California transit and our communities.
