Newsom signed the budget proposal while riding on BART alongside Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco).
“That $5.1 billion is a significant improvement from where we expected the budget to land,” Newsom said in a video posted on Twitter. “But in return, we’re also demanding more accountability. We’re demanding more collaboration…, [and] a new business model for public transit.” What that new business model looks like for public transit statewide remains to be seen, and details on how much BART and other transit agencies may receive have not yet been released.
