SPUR and coalition ask governor to unfreeze emergency transit funds

Advocacy Letter

In response to California's budget deficit, Governor Newsom's Administration put a spending freeze on numerous agencies, which also impacted the release of emergency transit operating partners. In June, SPUR and our Survive + Thrive coalition partners once again came together to urge the administration to make funding available to transit operators for transit operations and capital projects. In July, the governor released that critical funding to operators to avoid cutting service.
