Mayor Regina Romero said the projects include installing dozens of shelters at bus stops, adding trees for shade, replacing aging equipment, and increasing accessibility with larger print, Braille and audible information.

“Decarbonizing our bus fleet, greening up our bus stops so that people can use transit more and we can get that toxic, toxic CO2 emissions out of our air is so important, especially for the front lines of climate change,” she said during a Wednesday press conference. “The front lines are those hurt first and worst. Those are seniors, low income communities, communities of color, children, their health and safety is on the line.”
