Three big rail projects getting state funding in California. Big day for San Jose, which is part of all 3.
- Caltrain electrification from San Francisco to San Jose
- Valley Rail from San Jose to the Central Valley
- Silicon Valley BART from Berryessa to Santa Clara
CA is investing $2.5 billion in public transportation, giving Californians more access to a modernized public transit system.
This is part of our larger investment to upgrade transit systems to enhance mobility options, improve service, & reduce driving.

Everyone who just saw staffers at the Dem party HQ in our nation's capital seem to be moonlighting as astroturf union busters are welcome to head to dsausa.org/join. We don't have to put up with their shit

Three transit locals built power by campaigning for a popular demand: hazard pay. “There’s a lot of anger," said bus driver Anne Marie Ruiz. "We’re moving the county while management’s working from home & not giving us the things that we need to keep safe.”labornotes.org/2022/01/bay-a…

Yet more evidence that *free transit* increases ridership and reduces emissions. Let's fund the @CityofBerkeley Free AC Transit pilot in June! @PeopleTransit @SFBaySierraClub @350BAAction
