Hi John, 

Two months ago, I asked you to call the Governor to demand that he include transit funding in the state budget. We were pleased to hear that, in part because of your advocacy, the final budget included a promise of a $750 m loan for public transit in the Bay Area. This loan will give BART, Muni, Caltrain, and AC Transit the money they need to deliver service and prevent service cuts for another year until we can pass ballot measures to guarantee more sustainable long-term funding.

Unfortunately, now, with less than a week left until the end of the legislative session, this crucial loan still has not been finalized by the Governor's office. If it doesn't get signed off by him by the end of next week, Muni, BART, and other transit agencies will be forced to implement massive service cuts as soon as January of next year.
