SamTrans / SB 63 transit funding

Said SamTrans has used low coastal ridership as cover for doing nothing for 60,000 underserved coastside residents, and laid out three policy fixes plus a pitch for Pacifica to pursue transportation planning grants.

Made the case for supporting the transit measure despite its imperfection — gas is $6.49 a gallon, and people without cars can feel trapped in Pacifica.

A former councilmember warned that Pacifica lost a previous county shuttle through weak follow-through and said any new service must be convenient, timely and heavily marketed.
