We are pleased to have received the funds we expected from the federal government. We continue to work with our federal partners to ensure the funding that has been committed to the Hudson Tunnel Project continues to flow so that we can keep our workers on the job and construction moving forward.

"Is everybody telling the truth? We're not sure," Program Director Kim Comstock told the San Mateo County Transportation Authority on Thursday.

Muni fare revenue remains way, way down, with $97 million in 2024 compared to $283 million in 2015, despite ridership being above 70% of pre-pandemic levels.

"While it's a small adjustment, 5 miles in either direction, we're hoping this is one of the ways to improve safety on this corridor."

"Caltrain and BART would very likely be looking at shutting down passenger service," Deputy Director of Policy Development Melissa Jones said. "In that case, the agencies would be focused on maintenance, trying to secure our assets, keep everything safe while we regroup for the future."

After 17 years of partnership, the San Francisco Department of Public Health has proposed the complete defunding of Sunday Streets beginning in 2026. The proposal reallocates funding that was originally advocated for and appropriated by the Board of Supervisors for Sunday Streets, towards department deficits.

The Sunday Streets team is moving quickly into advocacy to stabilize the program and ensure the city doesn't lose something that residents deeply value.

What power does the council have? The council is purely advisory in nature and has no decision-making powers. It "does not exercise program management responsibilities and makes no decisions directly affecting the programs on which it provides advice," the charter reads.

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System faces a roughly $500 million funding gap over the next four years, but it's not due to diminishing services. Regional riders are enthusiastic about the transit system - it has one of the fastest growing riderships in the country and ranks third for the number of passenger trips and passenger miles in California. However, like other major transit agencies such as BART, the MTS kept things moving after the pandemic through one-time emergency funds from federal and state subsidies.

The doomsday plan includes closing the 10 stations with the lowest ridership. That means closing 20% of its stations, impacting 12% of riders. They include Oakland International Airport, South San Francisco and West Dublin/Pleasanton. "It's a tragedy," said Ed Locker, a BART Rider from Santa Rosa. "Everybody uses BART and has for over 50 years, I think. It would be a real sad thing."

San Francisco's new speed cameras appear to be having an immediate effect on driver behavior, according to early findings from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. SFMTA released new data on Friday showing a 78% drop in speeding at intersections where new speed cameras were installed last year. Viktoriya Wise, SFMTA's Director of Streets, says the early results show the program is working as intended. "They are working. And it demonstrates that the program is having its intended effect of slowing people down," Wise said.
