A buzzer beater state budget proposal could help keep Bay Area transit afloat. The legislature has proposed a budget that would give public transit a much needed boost.

Ahead of Thursday's deadline, the California State Legislature is proposing a budget that would give public transit systems in the Bay Area vital funding in the face of impending financial catastrophe.

In April, transit agencies throughout the state asked for $5 billion to keep themselves afloat in the aftermath of federal COVID-19 relief funds drying up and continued ridership struggles. Absent any state funding, Muni warned that it would have to cut as many as 20 lines, many of which serve some of The City's poorest and hardest-to-reach areas. The agency is facing a $130 million budget deficit next year.

Caltrain heavily relies on revenue from tickets, and increases in ridership haven't offset the agency's need to find additional revenue sources in the coming years.
