  • SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE As of 12-11-2020
    SAMTRANS CORRESPONDENCE as of 12-11-2020 December 8, 2020 The Honorable Gavin Newsom Governor, State of California State Capitol, Suite 1173 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Newsom: Bay Area transit systems continue to struggle in the face of dramatically reduced ridership and revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This challenge was already the most significant crisis in the history of public transportation, and now it has persisted far longer than any of us would have predicted. Since the beginning, our workers have been on the front lines, doing their jobs as essential workers, responsible for providing other front line workers with a way to safely travel to and from essential jobs. Now that the availability of a vaccine is on the horizon, we are proud to echo the attached call from the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). Specifically, we urge you to work to ensure that transit, paratransit, and school transportation workers are prioritized along with other essential workers to receive the vaccine following the critical need to vaccinate the State’s healthcare workers. Even with reduced ridership, an average of 8 million monthly riders continue to depend on Bay Area transit services. These riders are the healthcare workers, grocery clerks, caregivers, emergency services personnel and others doing the critical work that has kept California functioning during the pandemic. They cannot continue to do so without access to reliable public transportation, and are therefore dependent on the health of the transit workers that serve them every day. Our agencies have worked hard to ensure the public health of riders and transit workers during this crisis.

The enabling statute I the IITransi t District Law," ,..,.as adopted by the Legislature in 1955 after a long period of study and agonizing over the transit service offered by the Key System Transit Lines. As early as 1950 a report was issued to the Mayors and City Managers of the cities of the East Bay, recommending that a public agency be created to take over and operate a transit system in the East Bay. In 1953, after the disasterous 76-day Key System strike, the cities and counties of the East Bay fashioned the legislation which eventually resulted in the creation of the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit Districto Two-thirds of the cities in the originally proposed area of the District had to vote in favor of placing the matter on the ballot. The electorate in an equal number of cities in the proposed district had to vote in favor of creating the District. The Board of Directors of the District are directly elected by the voters, two at-large and five from wards evenly dis­ tributed throughout the district. The voters of the district approved a bond issue in 1959, permitting the District to purchase facilities from Key System Transit Lines and to commence operations in 1960.
