If you transfer between different Bay Area transit agencies, Clipper 2.0 is going to save you a bunch of money with bigger discounts.

For example, Berkeley to San Francisco with bus connections (AC Transit, BART, Muni) goes from $9.85 to $4.65. Try out your route here:

Police Commission is considering updating the OPD Pursuit Policy to allow more dangerous high speed chases

High speed chases all too often end in tragedy and death for our neighbors

Join tonight at 6:30pm to insist OPD keep 50mph limit and supervisor approvals

Just heard officially from SFMTA staff that Lurie is *not* seeking to restore the Market Street bus service he cut in June—a supposedly temporary cost savings.

Not too surprising, but still not something we should accept. Restore the 5, 6, 9, 21 and 31!

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

The recall shows a few things:
-Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in '22 immediately turned on him the minute he did his only visionary act
-Initial data indicates the recall—despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency
-More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park
