CAMPAIGNS

Our coalition was founded in 2018 to advance a game-changing regional transportation measure to invest in our transit system so that all Bay Area residents can get around affordably and easily while protecting the climate.


The COVID-19 outbreak and the accompanying economic downturn changed everything, including delaying plans to put a regional transportation funding measure on the 2020 ballot. Public transit is facing an unprecedented financial crisis due to reduced ridership and revenue that threatens its existence as we know it. In the near term, VPT has shifted our focus to promoting health and safety of transit workers and riders and ensuring an equitable transit recovery, even as we continue to plan for a regional transportation measure that can help the Bay Area emerge stronger from the pandemic.
