As a "Transit First City," San Francisco is committed to lowering carbon emissions, encouraging travel by cycling and public transportation and minimizing the use of automobiles. Of the many sectors dramatically impacted by the COVID-19, transit in our City has not been exempt from the pandemic's wide net. This week's "Online Briefing for Faith Leaders,"
hosted by the
San Francisco Interfaith Council

Department of Emergency Management's
Community Branch, welcomes San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Director Jeff Tumlin, who will address the impact of the Coronavirus on transit in San Francisco.
