Lack of funding is playing a huge role in public transit decisions across the state. As some state funding has dried up, millions in revenue are needed to keep these agencies going.

State Senator Steven Bradford has proposed a bill in California that would combine public and private funds to provide reparations to the descendants of slaves, aiming to address the historical injustices faced by African Americans. The proposed legislation, Senate Bill 1331, would establish the "California American Freedmen Affairs Agency" to oversee the reparations process, which could include cash payments, educational opportunities, and other forms of compensation. The bill seeks to use a mix of state, federal, and private funds to finance the reparations, with the goal of rectifying the ongoing effects of slavery and systemic racism. The proposal has sparked debate, with supporters arguing it's a necessary step towards racial equity, while critics question the feasibility and fairness of the funding mechanism.
