SPUR has led a coalition effort to support Senator Arreguín's request for $2 billion in the state budget to save and support transit. The request would provide funding to transit agencies around the state- many of whom are experiencing some form of fiscal crisis and are at risk of cutting service. In the Bay Area, this funding is urgently needed to act as a "bridge" keeping BART, MUNI and other operators solvent in the near term while the region works to raise more durable funding via a regional measure and local initiatives expected in 2026.
