Dear District 3 Community,
In this edition, we are thrilled to spotlight the incredible community events we have attended. June 2024 has been a remarkable month, with the County of Alameda Board of Supervisors proclaiming it as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI+) Pride Month. Additionally, June 19, 2024, was designated as Juneteenth to honor the progress, resilience, and contributions of African Americans to American history. We also celebrated the ribbon-cutting of Casa Sueños in Oakland Fruitvale Village and observed National Immigrant Heritage Month and World Refugee Day, a time to recognize the strength and courage of immigrants and refugees worldwide and to honor their contributions.
The District 3 team has been actively engaging with the community, and I am excited to share our progress, highlight the County’s work, and feature upcoming community events, resources, and opportunities in this newsletter.
This month, I had the pleasure of participating in several notable events, including the Alameda County Veterans Affairs Commission’s Women Veterans Recognition Day at the Alameda Naval Air Station, the first Oakland Town Nights of the summer at San Antonio Park, and the Juneteenth Celebration of Freedom Awards in Oakland. I hope you all had a fantastic Juneteenth celebration filled with joy and reflection. Let us continue to honor and highlight the significance of Juneteenth in our shared journey towards equality and freedom for all.
Thank you to everyone who visited the District 3 Team at the San Leandro Cherry Festival. The event was incredibly successful with a great turnout, and my Interim Chief of Staff was honored to participate in the parade. Additionally, it was a privilege for the District 3 Team to attend the Pride flag-raising ceremonies at Oakland City Hall and San Leandro Main Public Library.
We are excited to join the Alameda 4th of July Parade at 10:00 a.m. at the corner of Park Street and Lincoln Avenue in Alameda, CA. We look forward to seeing you there. For more details, please check out the rest of this newsletter.
We invite you to join the District 3 staff at the Oakland AAPI and African American Solidarity Walk every first Tuesday of the month. This event promotes unity and support for both the AAPI and African American communities. Your presence will help strengthen community bonds and amplify our shared commitment to social justice and equality.

Date: Every First Tuesday of Each Month
Time: 11:00 a.m.

Let's use this time to engage in dialogue, foster understanding, and build strong alliances across communities.

The County of Alameda proclaimed June 19, 2024, as Juneteenth to honor African American resilience and contributions to American history. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger declared the end of the Civil War and emancipated the remaining slaves in Texas, following President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Let's remember, celebrate, and reflect to honor the courage and heritage of African Americans.
The City of Oakland proudly raised the Pride Flag to celebrate Pride Month, embodying love, diversity, and inclusion. This symbolic gesture honors the LGBTQ+ community's resilience and ongoing fight for equality, inviting all to join in celebrating our shared commitment to acceptance and unity. Throughout June, Oakland will host events fostering understanding and solidarity, ensuring a vibrant celebration that embraces diversity and advocates for a more inclusive future.

To promote a culture of safety and discourage the increasing number of illegally parked vehicles, AC Transit will begin using automated bus lane enforcement citations along the entirety of the Tempo corridor starting Sunday, June 16.
Any vehicle illegally parking in a bus only lane, including taxis, rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft, and delivery trucks, will be subject to a $110 fine. This fine must be paid within 21 days of issuance.
AC Transit was instrumental in passing laws such as AB 917, which now allows transit agencies across the state to use forward-facing cameras to cite vehicles illegally parked in transit-only lanes. Tempo Line 1-T's forward-facing cameras began issuing citations in November 2020, following extensive public outreach and education efforts that started in September 2019.
Las citaciones automatizadas de control de carriles para autobuses comienzan el domingo 16 de junio
Para promover una cultura de seguridad y desalentar el creciente número de vehículos aparcados ilegalmente, AC Transit comenzará a utilizar citaciones automatizadas de control de carriles para autobuses a lo largo de todo el corredor Tempo a partir del domingo 16 de junio.
Cualquier vehículo que se aparque ilegalmente en un carril exclusivo para autobuses, incluidos taxis, servicios de viajes compartidos como Uber y Lyft, y camiones de reparto, estará sujeto a una multa de $110. Esta multa debe pagarse dentro de los 21 días posteriores a su emisión.
AC Transit desempeñó un papel decisivo en la aprobación de leyes como AB 917, que ahora permite a las agencias de tránsito de todo el estado usar cámaras orientadas hacia adelante para citar vehículos aparcados ilegalmente en carriles exclusivos para el transporte público. Las cámaras orientadas hacia adelante de Tempo Línea 1-T comenzaron a emitir citaciones en noviembre de 2020, luego de extensos esfuerzos de divulgación pública y educación que comenzaron en septiembre de 2019.
自 6 月 16 日（周日）起开始公交专用车道违停执法行动
为了促进安全文化，防止日益严重的车辆违停情况，自 6 月 16 日（周日）起，AC Transit 将在整个 Tempo 交通走廊实施公交专用车道执法。
对于在公交专用车道上违停的出租车、Uber 和 Lyft 等共享服务车辆以及送货车等车辆，我们将对其处以 110 美元的罚款。收到罚单后，违停司机必须在 21 天内缴纳罚款。
AC Transit 推动了 AB 917 等法律的通过。当前，这些法律使得全州的公交机构均可安装前向摄像头，对公交专用车道上的违停车辆进行处罚。我们于 2020 年 11 月开始使用 Tempo 1-T 号线路的前向摄像头对违停车辆进行处罚。而在此之前，我们已于 2019 年 9 月开始了广泛的公众宣传和教育工作。
