Bay Area transit agencies partnered with us to standardize signage. Here's what we've been working on 🚏

High school students across the Bay Area are invited to apply for the 2026 Norman Mineta Bay Area High School Academy. This is a paid summer program designed to introduce young people to careers in public service and regional leadership. Over four-weeks you’ll learn how decisions about transportation, housing, air quality, and environmental justice shape everyday life in the Bay Area. You’ll meets for two hours each Thursday in July, with sessions held primarily over Zoom. The program begins on July 2 and concludes with an in- person capstone event on Friday, July 31 at the Bay Area Metro Center in San Francisco. Students who complete the full program receive a stipend as well as a certificate of completion that can be used for college applications and future career opportunities. Space is limited! Applications must be submitted by Monday, April 27 at 10 p.m. To be eligible, students must live in the Bay Area, attend a local high school, and be at least 15 years old with completion of ninth grade by the start of the Academy. Participants must be able to attend the online seminars and complete a final presentation. Students under 18 will need permission from a parent or guardian. Enrollment is limited, and selection emphasizes a diversity of perspectives from across the Bay Area. Grade point averages are not considered. More information and the application can be found in the link in bio

Back when I was taking a two hour bus ride to San José in high school, I used coins. When I took @gocaltrain from San José to San Francisco, I waited in line for a ticket. Today, I hopped on a @scvta light rail in Downtown San José, just tapped my credit card and was taken directly to @levisstadium in 20 minutes. Clipper 2.0 ironically means no clipper card required — just in time for the big games in 2026! Residents and visitors can use their credit cards, even their apple wallet, to get on all Bay Area transit systems. It’s never been quicker or more convenient to head to Levi’s, @paypalpark , @sapcenter , or wherever you choose to spend your time in San José. Learn more at: /contactless-payments

Today San Francisco Bay Ferry welcomed a new vessel to their fleet — the Zalophus! This is the cleanest diesel ferry in the world, and it will be the last as SF Bay Ferry sets their sights on electric and battery operated ferries in the future. San Francisco is where transportation innovation is born! Zalophus is the scientific name for sea lion, so it was fitting to have @sfgiants own Lou Seal join the christening, performed with aplomb by Chief of Infrastructure, Climate, and Mobility Alicia John-Baptiste of Mayor @danielluriesf ’s office 🍾

We are finally at the point of the project where we get to select colors and finishes for the West Oakland Link (WOL). The WOL of the Bay Skyway is a 1.25 mi proposed elevated pedestrian and bicycle pathway that will connect Mandela Parkway in West Oakland with the existing East Span path of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge using a pathway along the south side of West Grand Avenue.    This project aims to stand out amongst the industrial landscape by selecting a project color that celebrates West Oakland.   Run don’t walk to the survey in our bio today! #WestOaklandLink
