At their July meeting, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District Board of Directors (Board) adopted a resolution to honor the memory of George Floyd and countless others, to denounce systemic racism, and to affirm racial equity and justice. The resolution reads, in part, that "now is the time for us to listen, learn, and act as we stand in solidarity with the people and communities who are most affected by centuries of systemic racism and inequality that harm Black People, Indigenous People, and other People of Color’s lives today."
The resolution also states that the District "commit[s] to ensuring that its facilities and services are safe and welcoming for Black People, Indigenous People, and People of Color, free of racism, discrimination and threat of violence." The District will continue to update the Board and staff as efforts towards fulfilling the goals of the resolution are brought forward.
