Want to Know Where the Candidates Stand on Livability and Transportation?
Wondering which candidates support things near-and-dear to urbanists and transit advocates? The results of the 2026 “Sustainable Transportation Questionnaire” for the June Primary Election project are now available online for readers to check out. It’s a comprehensive list put together by a coalition of familiar orgs, from Seamless Bay Area to the Transbay Coalition, to Walk Bike Berkeley, and the whole schmear of aligned groups.
From their post:

How we get around and the barriers we face in that process affect nearly every aspect of our lives like housing, healthcare, economic development, safety, education, and much more. The “Sustainable Transportation Questionnaire” was sent to candidates running for US House of Representatives, State Assembly, State Senate, County Supervisor, City Council, and Mayoral positions in all Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma Counties in order to help educate people voting in the June 2026 Primary Election.
