Governor Newsom’s approval of AB 1944 supports California’s continued transition to zero-emission buses. Sponsored by the California Transit Association and authored by Assemblymember Alex Lee (@alex_lee), the new law provides temporary axle-weight flexibility for zero-emission transit buses, helping agencies continue purchasing buses that support California’s climate and clean transportation goals. AB 1944 gives transit agencies the flexibility they need to expand zero-emission fleets while continuing to provide reliable service to their communities.

Governor Newsom’s signing of AB 1837 will help transit agencies keep bus lanes and transit stops clear.

Keeping these areas clear helps buses stay on schedule, improves access for riders, and makes transit safer and more reliable for everyone.

By making state funding more flexible and accessible, SB 741 will help agencies sustain reliable service and advance California’s clean transportation goals.

Local voices. Local choices. A stronger future for transit. The California Transit Association joins transportation leaders statewide in opposing Prop 43, which would raise the threshold for voter-led transit funding measures to a two-thirds supermajority—allowing a small minority to block investments supported by most voters. Protect communities' ability to fund the buses and trains that connect people to jobs, education, and essential services. Vote NO on Prop 43. Learn more: noprop43ca.com/our-coalition
