Long before BART or AC Transit, East Bay commuters relied on the Key System, a network of electric streetcars, for local travel and even to cross the Bay (there used to be tracks on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge!). Despite serving millions of passengers annually, the rails were ripped out and the network was completely dismantled by 1958. This episode explores the forces that brought down the Key System and the lessons this history might hold for those interested in a more transit-friendly future. Listen to the podcast to hear memories from former riders who remember taking many exciting excursions on the streetcars, and also from volunteers at the Western Railway Museum, an organization dedicated to celebrating the legacy of track-based modes of transport. Big thanks to this episode's guests: John Harder, Robert Immergluck, Cambridge Lutèce, and Mickey Simmons. See photos related to this episode here: https://eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/end-of-the-line/ This episode marks the launch of my new line of apparel with Oaklandish. The design on the hats and shirts is based on the Key System's “flying key” logo. Over on the Oaklandish blog, I share some additional thoughts on what inspired the theme of this collaboration. I hope you'll check it out, especially if you're interested in thinking about ways to make the Bay Area's roads safer, cleaner, and less gridlocked. https://www.oaklandish.com/blogs/news/east-bay-yesterday-the-history-of-the-key-system This episode is supported by UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals.

Over the past few years, there's been a huge upsurge in efforts to remove books about gender and race from libraries and schools, and in some cases even ban them from being sold to minors altogether. One of the books frequently targeted by these campaigns is “The 57 Bus,” which examines a 2013 incident involving a nonbinary teenager who was lit on fire by an Oakland High student while taking AC Transit home from school. The book was a bestseller and won critical acclaim for its nuanced portrayal of what it's like to be a young person who doesn't fit into “traditional” gender roles, as well as its critical look into the failings of America's criminal justice system, but now it's being illegitimately denounced as “pornographic” by parents parroting the talking points of conservative organizations like Moms for Liberty. In reality, there's nothing sexual in the book—they're simply scared of it. Besides book banning, there are hundreds of anti-LGBTQ laws being proposed across the country right now, not to mention rising cases of violent intimidation like the Proud Boys' disruption of a “Drag Queen Story Hour” event right here in the East Bay earlier this month. Amidst this reactionary backlash, I interviewed the author of “The 57 Bus,” Dashka Slater, a longtime Oakland resident and former East Bay Express staff writer. In this episode, we discuss the battle over controversial books, the political power of historical narratives, and, of course, the disturbing crime at the center of “The 57 Bus.” Listen now on Apple, SoundCloud, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.

This week we're joined by Robert del Rosario, Director of Service Development for AC Transit in Oakland California.  Robert talks about agency coordination during the pandemic, what's needed to get riders coming back, and what sustainable revenue might look like going forward.   Follow us on twitter @theoverheadwire Support the show on Patreon http://patreon.com/theoverheadwire

Public transit ridership is slowly rising after the pandemic forced transit agencies to cut services. But few other agencies across the nation decreased service as much as Muni and BART, and San Francisco ridership was at 39 percent of pre-pandemic levels in May, according to a recent San Francisco Chronicle analysis. San Francisco is also experiencing tension between the Board of Supervisors and Mayor London Breed over a proposal to eliminate Muni fares for this summer. We'll check in with SFMTA, BART, AC Transit and VTA about their announced service increases, capacity requirements and plans to entice riders back. And we want to hear from you: What should these agencies prioritize as they re-expand services?

On this month's episode of the Railvolution podcast we're joined by Robert del Rosario, Director of Service Development for AC Transit in Oakland and the East Bay California.  Robert talks about agency coordination during the pandemic, what's needed to get riders coming back, and what sustainable revenue might look like going forward.

In this episode of LIKEITORNOT host A-Hyp & co-host/engineer Baloogz are back at Post Office Studios, where they talk some hoop of course, like where, when and if Isaiah Thomas will sign somewhere, then there's the A-Hyp/Kyrie comparison but we veer off onto other things too such as Hall of Fame Tacoma Community College Coach Carl Howell being pissed C-DUB doesn't choose TCC, all the way to what the amazing soup from Infinite Soup hits like. We also talk a little new music from the region, Fast N' All from ENUMCLAW and the hopeful fact that we may get another PHONETAP 2  project from Swanks & UGLYFRANK. Not to mention the playlists on Apple Music that local Tacoma music guru Darryl Crews curated. We also talk about PNW and Lakewood OG Trussone's latest piece of work as well. Last but not least we get surprised by my Oakland patna Eee-Tree who hopped straight off the AC Transit bus to bring through Big Jermz of Minglewood brands, the only i502 distributors of recreational brands in Washington, they carry all star brands K-Savage, High Tide, Leaph and the Cookies brand umbrella which consists of not only Cookies but Runtz, The Lemonade, Minntz and Grand Florian Brands, so needless to say, we got taken care of and learned a few things too. We shut down this episode with the track DARK STOUT from Bear Bro off his new album 'STOP ASKING'. The beat was made by DJ QJ & Khris P. Thank you all for tuning in, we truly couldn't do it without any of you. 

In this election edition of "Back on Track," Ken highlights the passage of the Peninsula's Measure RR, along with statewide Propositions, Board of Directors results from BART and AC Transit.

Transit systems across the Bay Area are being hit hard by the Covid-19 outbreak. KCBS and Chronicle Insider Phil Matier talks about AC Transit which is now suspending fare collections for the remainder of the coronavirus pandemic.

In this episode of Researching Transit, Joanna Moody discusses the future of sustainable mobility, and her research exploring car pride. We focus our discussion on car pride, its implications for car dependence in rapidly urbanising cities, and what we can do to de-market the car or market more sustainable public transit alternatives. “[Car pride] is the attribution of social status and personal image to owning and using a car” Joanna’s recent research surveyed in two U.S. cities and internationally with a sample of 42,000 people across 51 countries to clearly understand whether the symbolic attachment of success to the car (car pride) causes people to purchase cars, or if their pride results from owning and using the car. She discusses examples from New York and Houston, where findings suggest that the relationship is cyclical: car pride predicts ownership, and those who own cars are more likely to use it and have their car pride reinforced. Internationally, she finds that car pride is highest in rapidly motorising countries with less developed car markets, such as in South East Asia and the Middle East. “[There is] a symbolic value of the car that encourages people to own and use cars beyond their ability to get you where you need to go.” The reinforcing cycle of car pride and use adds to the growing car dependence of rapidly motorising countries. Understanding the symbolic attachment assigned to car ownership and use may help stem ownership rates and the feedback loop it engenders with use. According to Dr Moody, providing high quality alternatives to the private car and finding a way to connect them to an individual on a symbolic and emotional level are essential. Taking away car ownership implies a penalty – therefore something needs to be offered in return. An implication for policy-making is the need for public transport rebranding that sells its attributes. These selling points vary depending on the target user, and include its social and time saving value, as well as sustainability benefits. “Couple service and fleet improvements with marketing to better connect to the things that local people care about” AC Transit in Berkeley, California recently introduced a fleet of battery-electric buses are an example of better branding of buses that could have the potential to elicit bus pride. Joanna emphasises that sustained efforts at selling the bus fleet’s sustainability advantage and delivering high quality service to match, is needed. She also talks about the success of London’s Mind the Gap campaign. This branding has opened up opportunities for revenue streams (merchandising) that helped overcome potential cost barriers for marketing and added to the available funding to reinvest in the quality of London’s transit network.

Jenny Odell wrote that her inspiration for “How to Do Nothing” was “grounded in a particular location, and that is the Morcom Amphitheater of Roses in Oakland, California.” Odell’s countless hours observing birds and other wildlife in this quiet neighborhood park led to the creation of her new book, which The New Yorker praised for “elegantly aligning the crisis in our natural world and the crisis in our minds.” For the first episode of East Bay Yesterday recorded in front of a live audience, I interviewed Jenny about how she challenges the “placelessness” that’s becoming ever more ubiquitous in our digital world. Honoring the book’s theme of “reconnecting with the world around us,” we discussed Chapel of the Chimes, the joys of AC Transit, Oakland’s oldest tree, and much more. [Big thank you to EM.

AC Transit went above and beyond for Carolyn today!

California wants homelessness and transportation to get better, but isn't always willing to pay for it. That's why in San Francisco, we have our work cut out for us to pass local Prop C, which would tax businesses making over $50 million to provide a permanent funding source for supportive housing, mental health services and shelters. At the beginning of the program, Nick Kimura (Eviction Defense Collaborative/Yes on C) tells us about some of the unfunded programs Prop C could start back up, like the Moving On program, and Sam adds his take as an affordable housing developer. At 16:34, we talk to Adina Levin (Friends of Caltrain and a South Bay YIMBY) about No on 6, the fight to protect transportation funding against the Republicans' gas tax repeal measure. We go into what's at stake: important road repairs, Caltrain to downtown SF, longer BART trains, new AC Transit and Muni vehicles, bike/pedestrian improvements, and a regional means-based fare pilot. All these projects lose funding if Prop 6 passes, so find out what you can do! Lastly, at 27:27, YIMBY volunteer Scott Feeney introduces the nascent YIMBY Mobility, a caucus (or "club," we're not sure which) that recently mobilized for Janice Li/No on 6 on the west side and has a District 2 mobilization coming up.

After a brief vacation, I'm back with an extended edition of Steve Tavares Is Angry. With the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee set to bestow its backing for a large number of East Bay candidates on Sept. 15, I take a look at some of the possible storylines that may arise from over the weekend.  Later I take you on voyage back to 2012 to remind you of the worst person in East Bay politics--AC Transit at-large board member Joel Young. In the hot seat, I welcome Oakland mayoral candidate Pamela Price to the podcast. You will find her take on how the central committee does its business quite fascinating.

We're not talking about the paring knife slices you usually notice over time.  It's bayonets, weed wackers, bulldozers and tanks — that kind of cuts. What cuts Trump can get from his right wing, but fractured, majority in the legislature is an open question. But, we need to know what he plans for the disability community and who is making plans to stand up to him. We talk to Lindsay Baran, policy analyst with the National Council on Independent Living in Washington, D.C., for the answers.
