BREAKING: @politico.com highlighted our coalition letter urging @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social and #CALeg leaders to keep California's promise to communities.
California Transit Association

The California Transit Association's mission is to support the needs of California's public transit systems through advocacy and education. https://caltransit.org/
Today, we submitted a formal coalition letter on behalf of more than 80 transit, affordable housing, transportation, environmental, labor, business, local government, and community organizations. (1/3)
