We had a blast today at #VivaCalleSJ in Japantown! We had great pizza and beer at Jtown Pizza, and got to stop by the #VTA booth. It was great to see that so many people had stopped by and given feedback about what they’d like to see in transit in #SanJose and #SantaClaraCounty. Unsurprisingly, the most votes when to more and faster transit. People want #PublicTransit!

This a great video from #VTA explaining why VMT reduction is important!
I hope VTA puts out more videos like this; they’re doing a lot of great work and I think more people should know about it!

I was fortunate enough to see the Beyoncé concert in Santa Clara last night, and it was an incredible show! I was also *very* happy to see #VTA operators transport everyone away from the stadium in an efficient and professional manner. Seriously efficient, by the way. Our friends had to walk across the parking lot to get back to their car; by the time they were even pulling out of the parking lot, my wife and I had already gotten out of the stadium, back to our car (from the light rail), and started on the way to In-n-Out! I definitely recommend #PublicTransportation getting to and from Levi’s Stadium.
Also, don’t be intimidated by long lines at the station; they move quick because the light rail cars can hold so many people!
Nice! I see #VTA running a dedicated bus for Fremont High School in #Sunnyvale.
This is great news! I’m so glad to see #VTA ridership keep recovering. Thank you to all of the #Swifties who took buses and light rail to and from the concert 🫡👏🚌🚉 https://www.vta.org/blog/vta-sees-steady-ridership-increases
Just a reminder that #VTA will be making some service changes starting on Monday, August 14! https://www.vta.org/blog/august-2023-service-changes
#SFBART, #CalTrain, #Amtrak, #vta, #sfmuni, etc., all could do so much better at supporting #hardofhearing folk. the emphasis is on communicating via sound, to include #visuallyimpaired folx but the HoH facilities are at best poor--including the broken, unmaintained systems.
Improving #HoH accomodation would also benefit #actuallyautistic folx who must use hearing protection on trains, buses, & at stations.

루리쨩 친구한테 VTA 응모해보라고 들어서 VTA에 들어왔다는데 친구가 권한 이유가 “너는 혼자서도 영원히 떠드는데 아무것도 없는데 계속 떠드는 사람은 그냥 이상한 사람이지만 이유가 있어서 계속 떠드는 사람은 그나마 나으니까 Vtuber가 되는게 좋겠어”라고 했대ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ #VTA
#Priorität für #Fussgängerampel #Zschochersche Straße in #Leipzig? #Fehlanzeige, auch wenn der #srle es beschlossen hat, am Ende entscheidet das #VTA.
#Gefährdung von #Fussgängern ist egal, solange nicht genug passiert.

#VTA will be hosting a Virtual Community Meeting tonight at 6:00 PM for anyone interested in the 2024 Transit Service Plan! https://www.vta.org/projects/2024-transit-service-plan
The survey for the #VTA VTP2050 is still open! If you live or work in #SanJose provide your thoughts and feedback on how to make transportation better. https://www.vta.org/blog/we-want-hear-you
I was able to join the “Ask VTA” zoom call the other night and I was so happy to hear that #VTA has folks who really care about light rail! They’re working hard to make it better. There’s also a contingent of riders who are passionate about light rail service (like me) 🚊
Monica Mallon does an incredible job advocating for #VTA. Here’s an excellent article she wrote discussing the pros and cons of free transit in SCC. https://medium.com/@monicamallon/the-free-transit-debate-in-santa-clara-county-277e15c03230
