Although police said the man was holding a metal object and that there were unconfirmed reports of him swinging it at passing vehicles before the detective arrived, they added that it was not clear whether he was armed at the exact time of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa County district attorney’s office and CHP are also participating in that investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Upon completion of the investigation, it will be turned over to DOJ’s Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division for independent review,” the attorney general’s office said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because detectives typically wear business attire, the detective in question was not in uniform or wearing a body camera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

A massive decline in ridership which began during the COVID-19 pandemic has failed to rebound to pre-pandemic levels. With federal and state emergency funding set to run out this year, MUNI and BART are projecting budget deficits in fiscal year 2027 of over $300 million each. The deficit for Caltrain and AC Transit for fiscal year 2027 is as much as $75 million and $74 million, respectively, according to statements from those agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barring passage of the proposed sales tax, some agencies are warning they could need to enact drastic service cuts as soon as next summer that would dramatically lengthen commute times, worsen air pollution and hamper the local economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to close its budget deficit, representatives from BART said the agency could be forced to eliminate weekend service or cut two entire lines entirely. MUNI may make 50% cuts to major bus and metro lines. Caltrain could reduce weekday service to once an hour, and AC Transit could cut 37% of its overall service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Jesse Arreguín (D-Berkeley) said those cuts would have far-reaching effects on the state’s long-term budget outlook, in addition to snarling transit — and making traffic worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the Bay Area’s economy fails because transit implodes, then that impacts the state’s economy, and it impacts the state’s budget,” Arreguín said.[aside postID=news_12070694 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-07-KQED.jpg']Friday’s rally included representatives from organized labor, the Bay Area business community and a smattering of grassroots transportation advocacy groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Previous generations built the transit systems that power this region. Now it’s our turn, not just to preserve what they built, but to make sure it’s strong enough for the next generation,” said John Grubb, interim President and CEO of the Bay Area Council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If passed, the measure would create a half-cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, and a one-cent sales tax in San Francisco County for a period of 14 years, after which the tax will expire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lion’s share of revenue would go to the main four transit agencies, with a much smaller portion distributed to smaller ones, including the SF Bay Ferry and Golden Gate Transit, among others. The revenue would wash away the budget deficits for the main four operators with the exception of MUNI, which would only get about half of the money it needs to shore up its budget deficit. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070484/tune-in-tonight-san-francisco-mayor-daniel-lurie-live-on-kqed\">San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie\u003c/a> is proposing a separate parcel tax measure for the November ballot to make up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this campaign to secure long-term funding for public transit kicks off, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12055129/riders-rally-to-keep-bay-area-transit-loan-running-on-time\">a promised $750 million loan\u003c/a> from the state to provide short-term financial relief to transit agencies is still being negotiated.

We have to put this together regardless of what happens with the loan,” said campaign spokesperson Jeff Cretan. “This is going to be the sustainable future for public transit in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign has so far raised nearly $3 million to support its signature gathering efforts. Major early donors include technology company Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, Genentech and the Service Employees International Union, SEIU 1021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lian Chang, an organizer with the Connect Bay Area campaign, said volunteers were “beating down our door asking how they can get involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang, who primarily gets around by bike, said she came to rely heavily on public transit after she tore her achilles tendon a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have really seen in my own life how essential transit is, even if I don’t think of myself as a rider on a day-to-day basis.

With federal and state emergency funding set to run out this year, MUNI and BART are projecting budget deficits in fiscal year 2027 of over $300 million each.

SF Ed Fund said it had a waitlist of more than 800 students, without money to pay for the services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s set to change this week, after the district and nonprofit announced Tuesday that they would be able to clear those waitlists, and more than double the total number of students participating, with new city funding through San Francisco’s Department of Children, Youth and Their Families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the single most effective literacy intervention we have, and this expansion allows us to do what we know works,” said Ann Levy Walden, CEO of the SF Ed Fund. “With strong public partnership and clear goals, and in collaboration with the work of the district and its teaching staff, we’re able to deliver real, measurable gains for students who benefit most from support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The expansion comes as SFUSD is trying to meet a lofty goal to raise districtwide literacy rates among third-graders to 70% by 2027.
