Modern fleet maintenance and storage facilities are vital to keep SFMTA’s fleet in a state of good repair, which ensures reliable transit service. The SFMTA’s Building Progress facility capital program supports upgrades to obsolete facilities, some over 100 years old, to make them safe and efficient. The most urgent of these capital needs have been prioritized, but others remain partially or completely unfunded.

The SFMTA also has projects in several other program areas that are partially or completely unfunded and will need to be deferred if additional revenues are not identified. These include: major corridor projects that assist attainment of Vision Zero safety goals; numerous Muni Forward corridor projects to make transit more effective; the full build out and replacement of station elevators; audible signals to enhance accessibility for people walking; seismic retrofits and routine state of good repair upgrades of its parking garages; the full expansion of its light rail vehicle fleet; major track overhauls on the M Ocean View line; a new train control system to improve on time performance; the full realization of the Rail Capacity Strategy; and other systemwide state of good repair projects.

The 2024 Community Health and Medical Facilities, Street Safety, Public Spaces, and Shelter to Reduce Homelessness Bond provides $63.9 million to fund necessary projects to improve pedestrian, bicycle and traffic safety.

The general obligation bonds scheduled for 2026 and 2032 will be critical to funding renovations to SFMTA’s oldest bus yards and other facilities, traffic signal replacement and Muni’s train control system.

The cost of SFMTA’s deferred projects is approximately $20.5 billion through FY2035.

TJPA – Pedestrian Connector

A block-long pedestrian tunnel between the lower level of the Transit Center and the Embarcadero BART/Muni Metro station is a Phase 2 component of the Transbay Program that has been deferred by the TJPA Board as recommended by a Phasing Study completed in 2021.
