For nearly a decade, Streetsblog California has been a loud and consistent voice for more transportation options, equitable transportation spending and policy, and a defender of California’s communities. And to continue doing that, we’re going to need your help.

If you want to help Streetsblog be an even more effective voice for a better California, please consider donating today – on “Giving Tuesday” which kicks off our annual End of the Year Fundraising Drive. You can donate or set up recurring donations through our donor portal or join us on Patreon.

Under the leadership of editor Melanie Curry, Streetsblog California has become and remains the top place to get news and analysis of the people, events, policies and legislation that determine how California grows. In addition to the election, 2022 was an important year in many other ways. Even with the legislature out of session and the governor focusing his eyes on the election, the state announced a timeline on when rebates for the purchase of e-bikes would be rolled out and new grants under its active transportation program. There is always news breaking, and to read news you won’t read anywhere else and analysis you can’t ready anywhere else, then you need a strong Streetsblog California.

And of course, the battle over the future of our future High Speed Rail Line continues. The legislature finally moved on allocating delayed funding for the high speed rail line, and a private rail line that could connect to Southern California to Las Vegas is rapidly moving through the appeals process. Streetsblog California will continue to monitor the project’s progress and push back whenever false anti-high-speed-rail narratives appear in the press.

Sadly, the battle for safe streets is far from over. If you are able to support Streetsblog as we cover these issues and amplify your voices, please consider making a donation today.
