Public Transit makes it easier and more affordable for our neighbors and community members to get where they want to go - to work, to the store, to appointments, or just out with friends and family.
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. Tell State Legislators that public transportation and affordable housing matter to you.
