Governor Newsom’s proposed cuts to transit will immediately make it more expensive to live in California, force more people into paying the costs of driving and buying cars, and slash support for affordable housing, when costs are already skyrocketing.

Already, 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 are already on the brink of experiencing major cuts due to the end of federal support for transit.

Yet this drafted budget does worse than ignoring the plea to help fund transit, it puts $3.7 Billion of transit funding at risk for service and new projects. That means longer waits for the bus, routes getting cut, more expensive transit, more people left stranded, more cars clogging our roads, dirtier air, and a shrinking economy. Legislators can keep people moving, save money for regular Californians, and clean the air if we make polluters pay for the destruction they wreak on our state.
