On October 4, 2017, Brightline's executive director Eddie Ahn was appointed to the SF Environment Commission, which sets policy for the San Francisco Department of the Environment and advises the Mayor and Board of Supervisors on environmental matters. The Department employs approximately 100 staffers and manages seven programs that fight climate change and promote sustainability in energy, transportation, building, waste management, jobs, and beyond.
