Gov. Newsom proposes cutting transit agency infrastructure funding in order to save public transit in the state.
H.D. Palmer, spokesperson for the California Department of Finance, said Newsom’s proposed budget cuts to numerous agencies “were necessary to address the shortfall” but the governor has pledged to restore the money if revenues rebound next year.
“We are not asking for the world, and we are not asking for the world indefinitely, either,” Li said. Supporters have turned to creative marketing — selling flip flops featuring a picture of BART’s service map and even staging a mock funeral for transit last weekend in Oakland. San Francisco resident Gabriel Goffman bought his condo last year because it was on three bus lines. One has already closed due to budget constraints and another is on the chopping block.
