Rescue Muni

Join us for our spring General Membership Meeting on Monday, March 30, at 6 pm, to learn about the budget problems facing the Municipal Transportation Agency and the effect the budget deficit is likely to have on your commute. We have invited Sonali Bose of the MTA Director’s office to discuss the budget and take your questions.

Also, we will have an update on the Transbay Terminal project, California High Speed Rail, and possible stimulus package funding from Emilio Cruz of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (and former Municipal Railway Director). Come with your tough questions on this critical regional transportation project.

The meeting is on Monday, March 30 at 6 pm at SPUR, 312 Sutter (at Grant), 5th floor. Refreshments will be served. See you there!

Today the SFMTA will publish service standards results showing improved on-time performance, according to the Chronicle. On time performance has improved to over 72%, up 3 percentage points from last quarter, but still far short of the 85% on time required by the voters in Proposition E passed ten years ago.

The report will be discussed at today’s SFMTA Board meeting.
