Happening today! The region’s long-term transit plan includes many critical investments in East Bay public transit and needs your feedback.

muni’s report on all door boarding mentioned that fare compliance *increased* following implementation.
ALT an expert from a muni report on all door boarding. the highlighted text reads “Improved Fare Compliance – A series of four fare surveys between 2009 and 2014 indicate that fare compliance continues to improve. The fare evasion rate has decreased from 9.5% to 7.9% over five years and the estimated uncaptured revenue due to fare evasion has dropped from $19.2 million to $17.1 million.”

A massive $125M will soon be spent on major bike/walk/transit upgrades along San Pablo Ave, Oakland to Albany, but we’ll have fewer buses to take advantage of it. Transit operations & maintenance needs much more state/federal funding, not only infrastructure.
#ACTransit Starting with staff presentation. Line 72R frequency is getting cut (and 7, 65, 67 too). Tell the politicians to fund transit and stop transit cuts actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

We are at a crossroads. Bay Area transit needs to get better, but it’s on the verge of getting a lot worse.
Please call your MTC commissioner and express your support for a region-wide solution to keep Bay Area public transit strong.

Please join my call for AC Transit to correct its Title VI and Environmental Justice analysis and make changes to the Realign Service Plan that work to reverse historical inequities before the @rideact Board approves the new Service Plan. 9/10

...transit service changes do not impact people of color and low-income populations disproportionately. It is critical that the analysis is done correctly and that there aren’t disparities in any service changes. We should be working to reverse historical inequities. 8/10

Here’s where I stand:
Before moving Realign forward, @rideact must correct its Title VI and Environmental Justice analysis and consider alternatives that avoid, minimize, or mitigate the disparate impacts and disproportionate burdens that are found to ensure that... 7/10

Here's the Public Advocates Letter and a snapshot of the stark findings. We owe it to our riders and communities to ensure People of Color don't fare 245% worse in the amount of service we provide and 67% worse in access to where they need to go. 6/10 drive.google.com/file/d/1IbH…

...Circular would reveal that the proposed Realign service changes would, in fact, have disparate impacts for people of color and disproportionate burdens for low-income people.” 5/10

In addition to my own findings, AC Transit received a letter this morning from @publicadvocates a civil rights law firm who works to secure transportation investments that meet the needs of low-income communities of color and comply with civil rights laws. 3/10

I found serious calculation mistakes in the Title VI Service Equity Analysis that support an inaccurate finding that the Realign Plan before the Board tonight doesn’t do worse by people of color and low-income people according to the threshold set by AC Transit BP 518. 2/10

operators should never enforce fares in the first place, that's more dangerous for them and slows down trips. fare enforcement should always be done by civilian fare inspectors, not by the driver, not by police

The San Joaquin JPA’s unprecedented decision to shut down the Antioch-Pittsburg Amtrak station demands immediate legal scrutiny from the attorney general. This is a dangerous precedent for all communities. Hopefully @AGRobBonta takes note!
MUST READ: @transbayc and ACCE Antioch unite to protect AMTRAK station. San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority is meeting today. @PatHume2022 @espinozarod @dougverboon, @DaveHaubert @SupGonzalez4 @DianeBurgis @AmyShuklian @NancyS47420 - #DontDropOurStop 🚨calmatters.org/commentary/20…
