F R E E M U N I V I C T O R Y !
After a year of advocacy from SDA members and collaboration with Chinatown CDC and many other community groups, we won Free Muni for low and moderate-income seniors and people with disabilities! The San Francisco MTA voted unanimously on Tuesday, January 20 to approve the program.
To ride Muni for free, you must register! Applications are easy and available at: http://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/transit/fares-passes/free-muni
or in the SDA office.
Celebrate this victory at a Free Muni Kick-Off Event:
Thursday, January 29
1:30-3:30
Lady Shaw Senior Center, 1483 Mason Street
Congratulations to all!
