Every Bay Area Community Deserves Better Transportation
We coach & support transit, bike, and street-safety advocates — individuals and teams — to be leaders in their community. Together we champion bold solutions to the Bay Area’s transportation crisis.

Regional Transit Funding Measure
Umbrella Coalition: Voices for Public Transportation
Voices for Public Transportation is a coalition of organizations advocating for improved transit in the Bay Area. VPT aims to build an equitably-funded, world class transit system for the Bay and Transbay Coalition is a member on the Steering Committee
Seamless Transit
Organization: Seamless Bay Area
Seamless Bay Area’s mission is to transform the Bay Area’s fragmented public transit into a world-class, unified, equitable, and widely-used system by building a diverse movement for change and promoting policy reforms.
Improving BART to Silicon Valley
Organization: Transbay Coalition
Phase II of the Silicon Valley BART extension is one of the most important transit projects in the Bay Area, but design compromises and high costs could hamper future transit. Fortunately, key decision-makers have indicated they may be willing to review aspects of the project
Megaproject Delivery Reform
Organization: Transbay Coalition
Too often, key infrastructure projects run over budget and behind schedule. A group of reformers is asking the legislature to fund research into these high costs, to ensure sustainable infrastructure projects can be delivered more efficiently
Bay Bridge Bus Lanes
Organization: Transbay Coalition
Over 80 bus routes travel across the Bay Bridge, bringing tens of thousands of passengers in and out of San Francisco every day. With Assembly Bill 455 in the State Senate, now is the perfect opportunity to speed up buses on the bridge
Safer & More Transit-Friendly Stevens Creek Blvd NOW
Stevens Creek Boulevard is a vital corridor in Santa Clara County and it is in desperate need of a redesign to make it safer, more efficient, and less polluting. Sign the petition here to demand that the redesigned corridor:
-Be made safer for everyone to travel along and across it through including physically protected bike/mobility lanes, expanded sidewalks, protected intersections, and shorter crossing distances
-Be made more efficient, equitable, and climate-friendly by dedicating a lane in each direction to be for buses-only which would significantly improve bus speed, time, and reliability
Keep Amtrak Service To Pittsburg/Antioch!
Organization: ACCE Antioch

ACCE Antioch has been leading the charge to maintain service to the communities and the Transbay Coalition has been working in close partnership to support ACCE’s efforts. Learn more here.
Stop Highway Expansion in South San Francisco
Organization: Sustainable South City
Highway 101 is slated to receive nine miles of new express lanes in South San Francisco. Highway widening is bad for communities and bad for the environment, so these lanes should be implemented by converting existing general-traffic lanes, and not by building new ones.
East Bay Bus Lanes
Organization: East Bay Transit Rider’s Union
Bus lanes and other transit infrastructure can drastically improve transit service. A number of streetscape projects are underway across the East Bay, and advocacy can help ensure that transit lanes are a part of these projects
Making Highways More Bus & Bike Friendly
Organization: Bike East Bay
As part of the 2022 State Highway Operation & Protection Program, (SHOPP) Caltrans will spend twenty billion dollars on highway & interchange projects. By advocating for these projects to include complete streets elements, this program can help improve sustainable transportation
