Signature Gathering at Friend Fest 2026 by San Jose Made

​​Join us to gather signatures for Connect Bay Area, the five-county regional transit funding measure!

We will meet — rain or shine — at Parque De Los Pobladores at 2pm to train first-time signature gatherers, hand out petition supplies, and gather signatures from people attending SJ Made Friend Fest 2026.

Everyone is welcome to be there for the whole time or just pop by to help for a bit, get packets & training so you can collect signatures at a later time (and return your completed petition packets another day)

To see the most friendly faces and to join the group training session, plan to meet at the event start time. But if you've already attended a training (or if you complete online training in advance by reading our training guide then completing this form), you can stop by anytime before the end of the event to drop off completed petitions and/or pick up new ones. Your RSVP is helpful either way.

No experience necessary. You just need to be 18 years old to gather signatures. Event hosted by Seamless Bay Area and Transbay Coalition in support of Connect Bay Area Transit.

To avoid devastating Bay Area transit service cuts, we need to gather over 200,000 signatures to get Connect Bay Area Transit, the five-county regional transit funding measure, on the ballot. Learn more at https://connectbayarea.com/.
