You can check the 2027 Local Investment Service Plan here (it’s pretty huge): santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citizens/Det... *Implementation will depend on election results and will require an allocation vote and a budget amendment vote.

It’s pretty unreal that today is the eve of finally having more bus service on the books (as an option) in Santa Clara County 🚌✨ It took nearly a decade, but good things happen if you believe in them and never give up. Many thanks to everyone for the support over the years 🫶

Thank you Governor Newsom for signing my bill to strengthen California’s ban on youth conversion therapy — psychological torture where a therapist tries to change someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity. Conversion therapy has caused incalculable harm to LGBTQ young people over the years. 🧵

The August date would be 6 days before my 30th birthday, which would be pretty unreal 🥹

6 days!!! Getting more bus service in Santa Clara County has been quite the journey, but after next Thursday, the main remaining votes will be the election, allocation vote, and budget amendment. santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citizens/Det...

Got a call from someone’s AI assistant about studio availability 😂 Times are changing. People were outsourcing their apartment searches to robots.

Here’s to two full years of electrified @caltrain.com service! It’s had a transformative impact across the entire corridor and proven out the model for high-performance electrified regional rail on the West Coast. Nail your fundamentals, and the riders will come!

Good afternoon, TriMet riders! I'm in need of some of your audio! Has anyone made a records request of the MAX Type II bell? I'm looking to trial it in a series of audibility tests and need a high quality sample, ideally whatever was originally programmed into the teams themselves!

I'll show the after once everything is finished, but it’s an expansion for a local therapy practice with 3 individual therapy rooms and a group room. They’ve grown from one of our smallest spaces to ~2500sqft in the past few years.

My house (rental) was built in the 60s and didn't come with AC or smart devices, so I had to DIY it. But it was so worth it and it’s only 650 sq ft, so it works pretty well with 2 units.

I love having a smart home because I can just turn on the AC on the bus home and avoid high PG&E bills 🔥😂 (It’s 95° out 🫠)

The main remaining steps to have more service after the board votes on the Service Plan are: 1. Election 2. RTM allocation 3. Budget amendment

Being 29 and looking 17 is so awkward. I've been an adult for over a decade, and people still ask where my parents are at the airport 😭😂
