Transbay Coalition

A grassroots coalition that brings together public transportation advocates and orgs from across the Bay Area to push for bold solutions

[Cyrus Hall @cyrusphall]

Public transit funding is in trouble as California state leaders hammer out the state budget. Your representatives and key budget leaders need to hear from you right now (well, best during business hours):

Now there is a tool to help make those calls!

It's an honor! See you Saturday! Let's keep working to make the Easter Bay and the entire Bay Area an easier, safer, more welcoming place for everyone to get around

[Seamless Bay Area @seamlessbayarea]

Michelle wants to visit her son's house using transit, but the service does not exist.

Want to help create a network of high-quality transit connections for you and Michelle but not sure where to start?

Here are a few things you can do right now ⬇️

[Bike East Bay @BikeEastBay]

The popular, free Oakland-Alameda Estuary water shuttle is getting expanded service starting November 6!

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

@Jahnji @calelectricrail State-level. Assemblymembers and State Senators. The Board that runs the Capitol Corridor isn't directly elected, but it's members are elected officials. So their constituents speaking out has great effect too.

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

If you live in the Capitol Corridor region and want to help put time into fighting for electrify the corridor, let us know! We're looking for more volunteers & will help train & equip you so you can be a more effective transit advocate!

[Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail]

Capitol Corridor is evaluating use of hydrogen on the corridor due to state intervention, overruling the 2016 vision plan which called for electrification, 15 minute peak service, and 150 mph speeds (which hydrogen is not suited for). Riders deserve better!

[Kuan Butts @buttsmeister]

No family would chose to ride bay area transit for financial efficiency - it is virtually never cheaper (in fact, grossly more expensive); actively penalizing families for either not being able to afford a car or choosing a more environmentally responsible travel mode.

@miguelcristoval As a 501(c)3 non-profit we can’t make candidate endorsements, but our ballot measure endorsements & links to @TransbayC’s candidate questionnaires are available here:

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

@trainlovers4HW Of course! Big labor of love.

For future elections, we'd be happy to chat with transit advocates in other regions about how to do something like this in their area

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

See answers from over 160 candidates for local, state, and federal office in the Bay Area to the "Sustainable Transportation Questionnaire" here! See what they have to say about transit, bikes, traffic violence, climate change, accessibility and much more https://t.co/LOWKDuhLHs

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

Omg yes, @Oaklandside, yes.

[Carter Lavin (carterlavin.bsky.social) @CarterLavin]

Hey Bay Area, if you haven't gone out in Oakland in a while, time to take another look. And take @SFBART @SFBayFerry @rideact @CapitolCorridor or @SanJoaquins to get here!

[bryan culbertson @bryanculbertson]

Dear Bay Area reporters,

1. BART is full and riders need more service than one train every 20m

2. Riders fully returned to transit in 2024, we are just taking fewer trips per-month

3. BART is the most efficient transit agency in the nation with above average farebox recovery

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

We can aim higher to EXPAND transit service too. Our clogged freeways are a sign that we need to drastically expand & improve transit service throughout the whole Bay Area. Call your commissioners and demand they go further

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

We’re now working toward a 2026 regional ballot measure to shore up & improve Bay Area transit systems. The emergency state funds delayed service cuts. We now need to work regionally to ensure these systems’ long-term viability.

For the Bay Area to succeed, transit must succeed.

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

Want better transit in the Bay Area and want to prevent service cuts? Call your MTC Commissioner TODAY and ask that they step up support for transit funding

[Alicia Trost @AliciaTrost]

All eyes will be on Monday’s meeting of the MTC’s Transportation Revenue Measure Select Committee.

If some counties are against a sales tax and other counties are against a parcel tax and business is against a payroll tax, then what can be supported?

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

@eleklem @SFBART @flySFO @Oakland @USDOT Thanks for coming out, sharing and tweeting about it!

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

And we got answers from candidates for AC Transit & BART Director! Check it out

[Transbay Coalition @TransbayC]

Big thanks to @BikeEastBay @seamlessbayarea @TransitRidersEB @SPUR_Urbanist @TransForm_Alert @SFTRU @350BayArea @scc4transit @bikesv @CRCommunities @RapidRevolt and other groups for helping make this happen!
