Event Details

Senator Scott Wiener and a coalition of advocates led by SPUR and Transform—collectively known as the Survive and Thrive Coalition—successfully won $5 billion that can be used to temporarily avert transit's "fiscal cliff". Facing a huge statewide deficit, this campaign was far from easy. Peek behind the scenes of this collective impact campaign to learn how local, regional, and state advocates worked together with public agencies to persuade elected officials to ensure the Bay Area keeps moving.
