Public transit and safe streets for walking and biking are essential to daily life in California. They connect people to jobs, school, healthcare, and community, and make it possible to get around without relying on a car. Yet across the state, these systems rely on unstable or insufficient funding sources that make it difficult to provide reliable service or plan for improvement.
Securing reliable statewide funding for transit, walking, and biking.
As revenues from the gas tax decline due to the adoption of electric vehicles and improved fuel efficiency, California must identify new sources of funding to meet our transportation needs. We advance solutions that provide stable, sustainable funding sources and supports improvements to service, reliability and connectivity.
Transit agencies across California are approaching serious funding shortfalls that threaten service cuts and reduced access for riders who rely on it. With a new Governor taking office in 2027, California can set a new path forward.
What we’re working on:
Long-term, stable operating funding solutions for public transit
Road pricing approaches that meet California’s climate, equity, and affordability goals and provide a replacement for declining gas tax revenues
Elevating recommendations that improve transit service, reliability, and connectivity statewide
Increased investment in active transportation, including dedicated funding for walking and biking projects that are heavily oversubscribed
Integrating e-bikes into California’s transportation system as part of a broader strategy to expand affordable, low-carbon mobility options
