SB 1031 Launch Party with Senator Scott Wiener and more!

Join Seamless Bay Area, State Senator Scott Wiener, and friends as we celebrate the launch of SB 1031, the Connect Bay Area Act. This bill is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform Bay Area transit with an expected $1-2 billion in annual funding for more robust transit service, transit and safe street improvements, and climate resilient transportation infrastructure. Vital policy reforms in the bill will help guarantee that new and existing funding go further, delivering convenient, well-coordinated service and making sure our buses and trains are faster, safer, and more reliable.

Transit Governance Models and Options for the Bay Area

Transit Governance Models and Options for the Bay Area

RSVP HERE. In many regions and cities around the world, transit is governed centrally, with a focus on integrated, rider-focused service that makes it easy to get around without a car. As the Bay Area considers new changes to the way our transit system is managed and run, what can we learn from these high-performing systems? And how might the Bay Area create a centralized network manager empowered to integrate fares, schedules, planning, and other key functions among our region’s 27 transit agencies? We’ve invited a distinguished panel of experts to discuss these questions, as well as key findings of Seamless’s April 2021 report Governing Transit Seamlessly. Join us and learn what opportunities lie ahead for the Bay Area as the region explores transit governance reform.
