Senior and Disability Action

A group of people, most of them wearing masks, holding signs in Dolores park with the San Francisco skyline in the background. Their signs say "Stronger Muni," "Muni is our life," and "Our transit needs funding. Help us keep it running. Muni now, Muni forever."

Yesterday we gathered with other public transit advocates for the kickoff of the Stronger Muni For All ballot measure campaign. This ballot measure would create a parcel tax to sustainably fund Muni. Want to get involved in the fight to keep Muni alive, now and forever? Sign up at muniforever.org

Today, we joined Mayor Lurie, Sup Mandelman, Sup Melgar, Sup Mahmood, Sup Sauter, transit riders, and advocates to kick off the Stronger Muni for All campaign.

The Stronger Muni for All measure will prevent catastrophic Muni service cuts and help the city invest in a safer, more reliable, and more affordable transit system for San Francisco.

Kickoff the Stronger Muni for All campaign next Tuesday, March 3, at 12:00 PM.

Muni Now, Muni Forever

SDA member & Peer Advocate Maya shared how wheelchair users are often left waiting due to overcrowding on buses.

The ballot measure is exciting—but the fight continues for a fully funded Muni where everyone has a seat on the bus that takes them home.

Someone in a wheelchair with lots of sparkles and sequins with their fist in the air holding signs that say "Muni is life, Muni is power" and "Protect our neighbors, keep families together" in English and Spanish. Someone standing next to them is holding a sign that says "less transit more traffic". They are on the steps of City Hall.

Last week, we rallied at City Hall with our @muniforever.bsky.social partners. 100+ people came to call for a progressive Muni funding measure on the ballot next November. [1/2]

We can look into it and get back to you

Can you clarify a bit more? Is the issue you're pointing out that the tactile indicators should be at both up and down escalators?
