Some San Francisco Students May Get a Free ‘Muni’ Ride to School Low-income youth could get a free ride to school under the proposed budget approved April 18 by the San Francisco Munici-
pal Transportation Agency’s Board of Directors. Te 7-0 vote to launch the controversial pilot program would make the city by the bay one of just a few major transit systems with similar policies. But the approved budget, which covers Muni, traffic, taxis and parking, must still gain approval from the Board of Supervisors
and overcome other budgetary hurdles. In total, it would spend $821 million in the new fiscal year and $840 million the following year. Te roughly $9.4 million pilot program would run from Aug. 1 to May 31, 2014. During the packed board meeting, supporters argued the program would equalize ridership and make the city more family-
friendly. Te yellow school bus is scarce within the San Francisco Unified School District due to reduced routes and shrinking budget coffers — so more parents are forced to pay for home-to-school transportation in the metropolis. SFUSD is the seventh- largest school district in California, with more than 55,000 students.
