New Preventative PSA Campaign

New Preventative PSA Campaign By Amy Fowler The SFMTA launches preventative PSA campaign on how to slow the spread of COVID-19 The SFMTA, in collaboration with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has launched a “Stop the Spread of Germs” Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign on Muni vehicles to keep city residents informed about how they can help slow the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19). These preventative messages are going up throughout our system—as signage both inside and outside of vehicles, audio alerts on buses, NextMuni displays at bus shelters and signs at Muni Metro stations. While the SFMTA has implemented some service reductions in response to ridership drops, many still rely on Muni to make essential trips during this challenging period. These messages  serve as helpful reminders, both on the bus and the street, that we all play an important role in preventing the spread of coronavirus. The

Service Update During COVID-19

Service Update During COVID-19 By Today Mayor Breed and the city’s Director of Health Grant Colfax announced that the City and County of San Francisco will join with five other Bay Area counties, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara, to issue a Public Health Order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Public Health Order requires that residents remain in their homes, with the only exception being for essential services and needs, effective tonight at midnight.

Quicker Transit Fixes through Muni’s New Quick-Build Program By Jeffrey Tumlin The SFMTA runs one of the most complex transit systems in the country. Many of the thorny challenges facing Muni require multifaceted solutions that take time to deliver. But sometimes a simple, street-level fix is the right tool for the job. The Transit Priority Quick-Build Program , approved by the SFMTA Board of Directors last week, clears a path for improving Muni service quickly on our most heavily-used lines and at the biggest “hotspots” for delay to Muni customers. Introducing the Transit Priority Quick-Build Program Modeled on the SFMTA’s Vision Zero Quick-Build effort for faster delivery of traffic safety improvements, the Transit Quick-Build Program focuses on reducing needless delay to transit riders using proven, fast-to-implement solutions.
