Bay Bridge Bus Lanes

In 2020, the Transbay Coalition led an effort pushing for a bus-only lane on the Bay Bridge and its approaches. At the time over 80 bus routes traveled across the Bay Bridge, bringing tens of thousands of passengers in and out of San Francisco every day. The effort led to Assembly Bill 455 written by Assemblymembers Rob Bonta, David Chiu, and Buffy Wicks just before the start of the COVID pandemic. Through the tumult of the pandemic, the bill eventually passed the State Assembly but got held in the Senate Appropriations committee and was not brought to the Senate floor for a vote.
