was removed from the agency's Board of Directors after a dispute over whether she lived in the district she represented.
Simon said in a statement to supporters that she moved from her previous residence last year due to threats her family received as a result of her support for police reform. "I would not have moved my family to this residence otherwise," she said. "I am deeply disappointed about this situation." Board Director Janice Li, who represents part of San Francisco and is now the only person of color sitting on the board, called Simon's removal "a loss to this board" and argued that few cared more about the transit agency than her.
