June 10 Muni Service Changes Adds Service on Connector Routes By Clive Tsuma The 38R Geary Rapid will run every 6 minutes starting June 10 Starting Saturday, June 10, the SFMTA will be adding Muni service on several lines to address crowding, wait times and to support increased summer tourism. We’re also making some stop changes to serve more customers and make the service more accessible and reliable.  Increased Service  To address crowding and reduce pass-ups, we’re adding service on the 1 California between Clay and Drumm streets and California Street and Presidio Avenue – where demand is highest – on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.  We’re also going to be starting service earlier on the 1X California Express, at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8 a.m., in response to customer feedback, as well as adding stops at Cherry, Spruce and Laurel streets and Presidio Avenue.   We’re also extending the evening service to the Presidio at 30 Stockton seven days a week.

Director of Transportation Report: March 3, 2020
By

De Lam, Operator 1725

In this week’s Director’s Report from the SFMTA Board of Directors meeting, Jeffrey Tumlin gave updates on the following topics:

Vision Zero

  • Two rapid responses were made in February, both involved fatalities and are still under investigation by the San Francisco Police Department. As a result, we will be adding daylighting on the south side of O’Farrell approaching Polk.
  • Digital advertising will connect with Chinese-speaking drivers through their devices (cell phones, laptops), drivers using TNC apps like Uber and Lyft, and Drivers who use WeChat (a popular Chinese messaging app.
  • Chinese newspaper ads in World Journal and Sing Tao for two consecutive Fridays.

Human Resources Update

  • As of February 2020, we have 2,609 transit operators on-premise.
  • Last year (2019) we hired 308 transit operators.
  • Eight more classes are scheduled for 2020. One day full class in February already this year with 42 trainees. The 2020 transit operator hiring goal is 396.
  • 75 new agency hires (non-transit operator) during January and February.

Sunday Streets

  • This weekend (March 8) Sunday Streets kicks off a season of open streets with the first event in the Mission from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. From Duboce Avenue to 26th, Valencia Street transforms into a car-free community space with over a mile of live music, interactive art projects and fun activities.
  • The magic is made possible by the entire Sunday Streets community, including 400+ volunteers, hundreds of local nonprofits and small businesses. It’s organized by the nonprofit Livable City and presented in partnership with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the SFMTA.

Transit Driver Appreciation Day

  • Muni operators are dedicated professionals who play an important role in our city helping all of us get where we need to go safely – day in and day out.
  • They operate our unique fleet of vehicles on challenging terrain and in unpredictable city traffic at nearly all times of the day in nearly all-weather conditions.
  • We honor this group March 18 with Transit Driver Appreciation Day, selected as the annual day of distinction because it is the day horse-drawn vehicles (the very first buses) are believed to have debuted in Paris in 1662.

Our Board of Directors meeting is usually held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. To watch the meeting in full, go to SFGovTV.

Making the JFK Drive Promenade a Space for All

Making the JFK Drive Promenade a Space for All By Eillie Anzilotti The JFK Drive Promenade is a place for all—and its new signage reflects that!   Starting January 5, 2022 you’ll find new signage all along the promenade route reminding users to be kind, share the space, move slowly, and say hello to each other.   Through over 50 outreach events held by the  Golden Gate Park Access & Safety Program  team throughout the fall and over 10,000 survey responses we received, San Franciscans have overwhelmingly said they appreciate the space for walking and rolling along JFK Drive—but also want to see more guidance on how to use the space.  In response, the SF Recreation & Park Department and SFMTA co-designed this courtesy campaign to encourage park users to put safety and kindness first when navigating the promenade.  A simple reminder to go slow and say hello can go a long way!...

Curb Management Strategy

चित्र
Curb Management Strategy By Tom Maguire When people talk about transportation, we usually focus on traditional traffic engineering tools like traffic signals and bike lanes that can move people through the city. However, what happens at the curb can be just as important to the safe operation of our streets and the health of small businesses in our city. San Francisco has long been at the forefront of managing our curbs, but we have traditionally focused on parking. Our residential permit parking program, established in the 1970s, was one of the country’s first, and in 2011 we implemented the ground-breaking demand-responsive meter pricing program, helping people find a space near their destination. Both of these programs have been adopted by other cities across the country to help manage demand for parking. However, vehicle parking is just one use of the curb, and it’s not always the most efficient or effective at achieving our larger goals. For decades, the SFMTA Color Curb Progr...
