 IS IN JEOPARDY:  Because of the economic downturn and lost opportunities, 
 the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni) has fallen on hard times.  The 
 December 5th service cuts included 6 discontinued routes, 16 foreshortened 
 routes and shorter operating hours for 22 additional routes.  Muni riders 
 were already feeling the painful cuts.  Then on February 26, things got 
 worse.  The SFMTA Board of Directors voted to cut service by another 10 
 percent to close the FY 2010 budget gap.  Given the city’s growing 
 deficit, it’s almost a certainty that additional fare increases and cuts 
 will be proposed in the future.\n\n \n\nWith these dismal projections in 
 mind, neighborhood, environmental, transit advocacy, and grassroots 
 community groups realize the need to take a fresh look at Muni.   A 
 citywide Save Muni Summit to foster a community-based discussion of 
 Muni’s worsening problems, and identify simple, innovative solutions as 
 well as strategies is timely.  It is hoped that the discussion will lead to 
 the Citywide Movement required to address and resolve San Francisco’s 
 critical public transit needs.\n\n \n\n\n Fix it first: “Make the 70 plus 
 existing lines work.” – Jerry Cauthen, Sierra Club Bay Area 
 Transportation Forum\nTransit first: “More for Muni, less for private 
 automobiles.” – Alice Mosely, San Francisco Tomorrow\nMuni for 
 Everyone: "700,000 Muni rides a day serve 80,000 small businesses and 
 employ over 5,000 people at Muni." -- Zach Stewart,
