*** STATEMENT ***

MAYOR LONDON BREED ON TRANSBAY TRANSIT CENTER

“Today I went to the Transbay Transit Center to see the site myself and meet with Transbay Joint Powers Authority leadership and City department heads to discuss the ongoing investigation and what we are doing to fix this situation. We must have a thorough and transparent investigation to determine the causes, severity, and impacts of this discovery, as well as a plan to re-open the Transit Center as soon as it is safe to do so. The Transbay Transit Center is too important for our City and our regional transportation system not to act quickly to have definitive answers for the public, and someone needs to be held accountable once the cause is determined. As the safety of the people of San Francisco is always of primary importance, we will continue to act cautiously and keep the Transit Center and block of Fremont Street closed until we have further answers. Our City agencies and regional transportation partners have been working to manage the traffic disruptions caused by these closures, and they will continue to do so.”
