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.

Scooter Sidewalk Riding Detection Technology Demonstration

Scooter Sidewalk Riding Detection Technology Demonstration
By Sarah Hellman

Scooter permittees Lime, Spin and Scoot lined up during the MTA's Scooter Sidewalk Riding Detection Technology Demonstration

The SFMTA held a public demonstration of e-scooter sidewalk riding detection technology on Thursday, May 12, 2022 involving the three permittees: Lime, Scoot, and Spin. The demonstrations were required as part of the SFMTA’s Powered Scooter Share Program, which ensures that shared scooter operations support the City’s recovery from the pandemic in a safe, sustainable, and equitable way. This includes keeping our sidewalks safe, particularly for our most vulnerable pedestrians and road users.  

Scooter sidewalk riding is illegal pursuant to the California Vehicle Code Section §21235(g) and poses significant risk to pedestrian and scooter rider safety, particularly for older adults or persons with disabilities using the sidewalk. Sidewalk riding detection technology enables the device to detect sidewalk riding in real time. Once detected, the scooter automatically slows the rider to a safer speed. We believe that sidewalk riding technology has a strong potential to curb usage scooter riding in San Francisco and may be the most effective way to reduce scooter share sidewalk riding in the City.  

As part of the permitting process, the SFMTA required operators to first submit a plan for deploying sidewalk riding technology and then to begin implementation consistent with the plan. In recent months, each of the three permitted operators—Lime, Scoot, and Spin—have complied with our requirements and deployed scooters equipped with the new technology. 

Thursday’s demonstration is the second demonstration to test this technology – the first was held in December 2021 – and we are pleased that the scooter companies are making progress with this important safety technology. Since the first demonstration, all permittees have started rolling out their sidewalk detection technology along The Embarcadero, which is a high-use area. Staff reported notable improvements during Thursday’s demonstration. The ride felt safer, there was an audible signal that the device had mounted the sidewalk and the sidewalk was detected more accurately. There are still areas for improvement, and as the scooter companies roll out this technology to their full fleets over the coming months, SFMTA staff will provide additional guidance. For example, staff identified deceleration method and speed as areas for additional guidance based on the results of Thursday’s demonstration. Because this technology is so new, these types of demonstrations help staff identify best safety practices and we will continue to work with the companies to continually improve. 

The Powered Scooter Shared permit program allows for innovation while also ensuring private mobility options are positioned to best contribute to the public welfare of the city. Requiring sidewalk riding detection is just one of SFMTA’s initiatives to ensure that shared scooter usage follows safe riding measures and does not deteriorate the pedestrian environment and disability access.   

In addition to deterring improper riding through specific safety requirements, on-street enforcement and holding the scooter share permittees accountable for implementing their sidewalk riding detection technology, the SFMTA is also committed to: 

  • Actively maintaining an accessible path of travel along city sidewalks by requiring scooter permittees to have a locking mechanism and adhering to specific parking requirements to ensure that the scooters are not strewn about the sidewalk. If scooters are not parked properly, scooter companies may be cited. SFMTA has a public dashboard that shows citations and complaints.  

  • Requiring scooter permittees to provide adaptive scooter devices as part of their on-street fleet and complementary rental programs. All permittees must provide devices with adaptive features such as three wheels, a basket or seat, to expand the range of users who can participate.  

Scooters are a sustainable mode of travel and a complement to Muni and public transit service, and SFMTA looks forward to working with the Powered Scooter Shared Permittees to continue improving this important technology. For more information, please visit Powered Scooter Share Permit Program.

The Future of Transit Service Through the Health and Budget Crisis

-
The Future of Transit Service Through the Health and Budget Crisis By Jeffrey Tumlin The pandemic has upended every aspect of our society, and the SFMTA is no exception. The COVID-related health and financial crises have resulted in deep and painful cuts to Muni service. We will be draining our fund reserve and spending one-time money just to sustain the service we have. Absent new outside funding, we fall off a financial cliff in 2023, just as the city needs us the most to support its economic recovery. As your Director of Transportation, I want to be open and transparent about how we got here and what it means for you. When I took this job six months ago, our mobility systems were strong but inefficient, the result of too many years of avoiding hard or politically unpopular choices. This crisis has now forced us to make those hard choices. It has also demonstrated the SFMTA workforce’s depth of talent and creativity, and its capacity for collaboration and strategic risk-taking.

Ride to Chase Center Events Along the New T Third By Christopher Ward Starting January 7, take the S Shuttle Mission Bay on the new T Third line via Central Subway to Chase Center events. Service on the new T Third Line from Chinatown Rose-Pak to Sunnydale starts January 7. With it , new event service to Chase Center will also start via Central Subway on the S Shuttle Mission Bay. During events at Chase Center, shuttles will operate between Chinatown-Rose Pak Station and UCSF/Chase Center every 10 minutes. These shuttles will start approximately two and a half hours before an event and continue for two and half hours after an event. From Chinatown to Chase Center, riding the S Shuttle Mission Bay takes about 20 minutes. Best of all, your Chase Center event ticket is your Muni fare. No additional Muni fare needed ! Both electronic and physical tickets for events – including Warriors games, concerts and other events – will serve as  proof of payment  for Muni service throughout
