		<description><![CDATA[The SFMTA isn&#8217;t finished in it&#8217;s quest to close its upcoming $100m budget deficit. On the table is a $0.50 fee to transfer between transit vehicles, a move that would generate $7.5m per year. Another, more pricey option, is to eliminate transfers completely, which would generate $20m per year.
Update: The MTA Board rejected this proposal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SF Streetsblog reports today that SFMTA is unlikely to approve increases to senior, youth, and disabled Fast Pass fares in tomorrow&#8217;s meeting, but that proposals to extend meter hours and operate parking meters on Sunday are also not likely to be considered, so Rescue Muni still urges the MTA to reject the proposal.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite strong opposition by riders in recent public hearings, the MTA Board is planning to vote on proposed service cuts and fare increases to balance this year&#8217;s budget.  SF Streetsblog has a good summary of what is scheduled.
In particular, the proposal does NOT include extended parking meter hours or meter enforcement on Sunday, but [...]]]></description>

According to SF Streetsblog, MTA stop consolidation (which would speed up service and was proposed in the SFTEP, and which we have supported for years) has been put on the back burner due to the recent [...]]]></description>

Do you agree with us that extended meter hours (including enforcing meters on Sundays) are far better than cutting mass transit, and that charging extra for the F line and expresses is a terrible idea?  If so, please attend and comment at this SFMTA public meeting:
