"This support will keep our team safely on the island and ensure the continuation of nearly 60 years of uninterrupted stewardship, research, and training for the next generation of San Francisco–area scientists, protecting this extraordinary National Wildlife Refuge, home to one of the world’s most important seabird colonies, for San Francisco and beyond."

“At the SFMTA, we’re working across the agency to ensure Muni is safe and welcoming for everyone," said Julie Kirschbaum, Director of Transportation at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
