Gov. Newsom is at Colma BART today to sign AB 117, finalizing a $590M emergency loan for Bay Area transit. The move comes just as BART warns of closures for stations like South SF and San Bruno if a long-term funding measure fails in 2026.

The $590M loan under AB 117 comes with a 12-year repayment clock. The first two years are interest-only, giving agencies like BART and Muni some breathing room to recover ridership before they have to start paying back the principal.
