Demand 5-7% Cuts from each Division of SFMTA

On September 2, 2025, the SF Chronicle reported that SFMTA’s CFO directed all divisions within the agency to reflect 5 to 7% cuts in the 2026 budget cycle. To date, no confirmed update has reflected any public-facing evidence of budget cuts since the directive, thus SFMTA still faces an unwavering $307 million deficit. A directive is meant to be followed by action.

Let SFMTA know it’s time to act to turn that directive into a reality that will be welcome news to all SF taxpayers.

Alicia, Director Kirshbaum, and Bree&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We urge SFMTA to follow through on the directive that was made back in September to all divisions to reflect 5-7% cuts in this budget cycle.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;SFMTA has been stuck on the $307 million deficit for 6+ months now. Which shows the public there has been lack of grit and action to trim the fat down further. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Furthermore, a SPUR report published in late March shared that the SFMTA cost per revenue service per hour is $73.99 above the peer average. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Despite the efficiency work SFMTA claims they have implemented over recent past months. It still falls short of what really needs to be done. Further trimming of the budget. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;How can voters get behind not one, but two tax increases to support Muni if the agency is unwilling to prove fiscal responsibility?&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We hope you hold all SFMTA divisions accountable and reflect 5-7% cuts before the FY26-27 budget gets approved. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Sincerely,
