SFMTA’s 17th Street Quick-Build Project will install separated bike lanes to increase safety for people and help more people shift to active and sustainable modes of transportation.

This project should be approved ASAP with improvements.

Transit agencies across the state are at risk of having to impose devastating service cuts unless state leaders support @Scott_Wiener's plan to give them the time they need to grow ridership. Please join us TODAY in SF and Oakland to demand essential funding for transit!

[Streets for People @S4PBayArea]

Thanks to everyone who came out to write postcards to our state representatives to demand increased state funding for public transit! Special thanks to our speakers @Scott_Wiener @JaniceForBART and @jeffreytumlin

Slow Streets and their ‘Mayors’ getting a well-deserved feature in the Chronicle ❤️

Slow Streets are transformative for:

🚲 Sustainable transportation
🤝 Community building
👪 Livable/family-friendly neighborhoods

We need to expand Slow Streets citywide!https://t.co/feV9QluF6t

[Seamless Bay Area @seamlessbayarea]

The Central Subway. The BART Silicon Valley project. What can be done to help transit megaprojects be delivered faster & more cost-effectively? 🤔

Join us on Jan. 18 for the 2nd part of a two-part workshop on improving transit megaprojects ⤵️ https://t.co/i6wW8kdv9K

Hey bike/train/transportation twitter, any good progressive ideas for new federal laws? I'm very interested in intersection of climate and urbanism and plan to make this a big part of my work in Congress.

[Greg Shill @greg_shill]

Thrilled to share "Regulating the Pedestrian Safety Crisis," just published

The motivation was simple: ped deaths are up 50%+ since 2010, but @NHTSAgov is the only responsible agency that has failed even to notionally prioritize pedestrian safety. Short 🧵https://t.co/QgrMe9zYSL

[Streets for People @S4PBayArea]

We won! The Slow Streets program is permanent, including @SlowLakeStreet, and a plan for a citywide connected network will be produced in Q1 2023. Thanks to everyone who called in to support! 🎉

[The Frisc @TheFrisc]

To sum up, several things happened tonight at this monster @SFMTA_Muni board meeting: The Slow Streets program will move forward, including Lake Street. And slow streets will be slow, targeted at ~1,000 cars/day with 50% of the vehicles moving slower at 15 mph.

[Streets for People @S4PBayArea]

The majority of commenters are against the program. Please dial in to bring some positivity to the meeting! Don't let a vocal minority bring Slow Streets to an end!

[Rebecca Saltzman @RebeccaForEC]

BART Board just approved my proposal to institute 30 min grace period for $6.40 excursion fare! We'll soon stop penalizing riders who enter a station and don't ride BART, especially when it's due to BART delays.

Thanks @JaniceForBART & staff for working with me all year on this!
