Organizations

Edward Altenberg

Jack Brown – “Let’s be clear: without stable funding, transit service gets cut, routes disappear, wait times grow, and the people who rely on buses the most are hit the hardest. This measure protects and strengthens Santa Cruz Metro so it can continue serving our community today and into the future.”

Lani Faulkner – “We need robust public transit in order to provide alternatives to driving, and making this service free will provide critical access to our our youth and seniors, who cannot drive. There should not be a long line of cars waiting to drop off students at their schools.”

Brett Hatch

Theo Kell – “Reimagine METRO has been wonderful and I want to see bus service continue to improve, not be cut down.”

Gavin Roth – “Students and working families rely on METRO everyday, it is imperative we save it.”

Janine Roeth

Nadene Thorne – “METRO is the best transit value we have for least cost!”

Bennett Williamson – “With increased service and more people riding for free we can meet the needs of those who rely on the bus and make it the fastest, most convenient choice for everyone. Fast, convenient, affordable transit is key to meeting our environmental goals and creating walkable, healthy communities.”

Megan Withycombe – “Reliable transit is how we make dense, walkable neighborhoods for everyone.”
