New Boiling Point podcast! This week my guest is NRDC's Carter Rubin. We talk public transit, housing and California's opportunity to build climate-friendly cities — and why it's been so hard to overcome the political obstacles to doing so. Listen in: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tra…

"In the aftermath of one of the greatest blows to California's clean air progress, state legislative leaders have taken an important step to bring new tools to the job of reducing deadly diesel exhaust" - American Lung Association's Will Barrett on #AB914. Legislators, #VoteYes on #AB914!

Long lines & waits for Muni? It's hard to remember now, but trains and buses used to be unreliable in SF Because Muni didn't have enough $$ to maintain and repair its fleet If the state leg and @CAGovernor don't fund transit now, this is our future again 😱 Call today 👇

Californians - our state has a $30 billion transportation budget. Meanwhile, leaders are on the verge of cutting funds for public transit. You can't make it make sense, because it simply does not make sense. So let's democracy: call your reps! 👇👇👇 movecalifornia.org/state-funding

Californians may love their cars, but they also take almost 75 million trips on transit every month. Yet the state could cut *billions of dollars* from public transit in the next few days. Tell Governor Newsom to step up and fund public transit: movecalifornia.org/state-funding

Truck chargers 🤝 Highway dollars Zero-emissions charging infrastructure is a much better use of flexible transportation dollars than more pavement that gets us nowhere - and states everywhere should take note. New from Carter Rubin on the NRDC 🌎🏡 blog: nrdc.org/bio/carter-rub…

Trail Blazers logo redesign. Which team should I do next??

Given this week's climate backsliding from California's elected leadership—reneging on transit funding and cutting checks to oil companies—I'm reminded that other states have instead taxed oil production to fund transit. Read about the Colorado way here: nrdc.org/bio/alana-mill…

Safe, reliable public transit doesn’t just help people travel, it helps communities thrive. This week, Governor Pritzker and Illinois leaders are steering the state to a cleaner, more affordable future. on.nrdc.org/3MIHe1d

Driving costs are at an all time high and traffic is polluting communities, so Illinois is investing in a better future for Chicagoland. The new transportation law will help communities stay connected and save families money. on.nrdc.org/3MIHe1d

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses. nyti.ms/45RcBNE

For less than the cost of a cup of coffee in an incremental sales tax, we could avoid 40 percent service cuts for AC Transit, elimination of two of five BART lines, and doubling traffic on the Bay Bridge. Time to gather signatures and give voters a voice in their transit future.

“This cynical and devastating action by the Trump EPA will not go forward without a fight. We will see them in court—and we will win." - Manish Bapna on today's sad endangerment rollback announcement nrdc.org/press-releases…

BREAKING: The Trump administration's EPA rescinded the 2009 endangerment finding that determined that climate pollution is a threat to public health and welfare and is core to much of the climate policy that followed. nytimes.com/2026/02/12/cli…

The Trump administration just took its biggest action ever to halt climate progress. Ignoring climate science, the EPA is opening the floodgates to unlimited greenhouse gases from cars and trucks while setting the stage to undo pollution rules on other major polluters.

🌎During Climate Action Month, a reminder that funding public transit IS climate action! Buses and trains allow us to pollute less and breathe cleaner air. You can help by signing a petition to get #ConnectBayArea and #StrongerMuniForAll on the ballot: luma.com/connectbayarea…
