Three Assembly members are taking bold action this legislative year to make California the first state to offer free transit for key age groups. California is seeing higher fares for public transportation across the state, which has contributed to decreases in ridership. As ridership numbers continue to decline, providing fare-free transit could be the solution we need to remove a significant barrier to transit use, and reduce emissions in our nation’s smoggiest state.https://www.ccair.org/free-transit-for-young-and-old-a-good-idea-is-coming-of-age-in-the-legislature/

Three bills in California Assembly for #freepublictransit

Most transit agencies are trying -- the problem is oil trolls in government
Imagine a government that prioritized free transit and all the necessary reinvestments, upkeep, and improvements.

The majority of our operating budget and portions of our capital budget are paid for by fare dollars.
Why isn’t transit prioritized to the same degree here? https://t.co/twNJryQVge
