"Judging schools by raw admission rates alone can be misleading. Schools that enroll larger shares of students from high-income families and fewer students with disabilities, for example, tend to send more students to UC campuses regardless of school quality."

Without the half-percent sales tax increase, which would generate an estimated $9 million per year for the city's general fund if voters approve it this November, Berkeley could face deeper cuts including shuttering a fire station, laying off police officers and reducing hours at city pools and recreation centers.

"Rod was a giant in our region and a public servant whose vision has forever changed the way we move, connect, breathe and live."

"San Jose was an agricultural wonderland. They called it the Valley of Heart's Delight, and most of it has been paved over and turned into high tech now. But this is a connection to our past."

Being named to the Washington State DES contract is a significant milestone for ENC and a testament to the strength of our product portfolio. This contract gives transit agencies across the region a streamlined path to American-made, Altoona-tested heavy-duty buses in every major propulsion category.

"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."

John Goodwin, the communications director for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, stated that the West span path part of the project is 'effectively paused' in the early planning stage, with the soonest work advancing in 2027.

The Central Avenue project is expected to improve safety for all street users and to reduce vehicle delays. The project includes a road diet with two motor vehicle travel lanes, a two-way left-turn lane as a center lane, bikeways, three roundabouts, resurfacing, improved bus stops, enhanced pedestrian crossings and street trees/raingardens.

"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."

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."
