The SFMTA maintains a wide array of information technology (IT) assets across the city, from Wi-Fi installation at SFMTA worksites, to a fiber network that provides the internal communication backbone of the Muni Metro system, to the customer information systems that provide real-time public transit information. In addition to system maintenance, IT supports SFMTA’s infrastructure upgrades and replacement on our aging systems. Upgrades are planned to the core network to support an upgrade of the video analytic system to monitor safety footage, upgrade routers on fleet vehicles to support remote video streaming and increased cameras to enforce Transit Only Lane violations. A major commitment to a new customer information system is also planned in this plan timeframe.

These initiatives contribute to a more efficient and secured network, as well as help passengers to better integrate travel planning into their day-to-day lives.

The Facilities Program at SFMTA supports the modernization and expansion of outdated facilities to make them safe and efficient, and the acquisition of new facilities to accommodate fleet growth. SFMTA will carry out projects to make sure that all SFMTA employees experience a safe, comfortable, and efficient working environment. The Muni Metro East Expansion, the Potrero Yard Modernization Project and implementation of the Facility Condition Assessment Program will reach significant project milestones through 2033.

The Fleet Capital Program ensures that vehicles operated by the SFMTA are safe, comfortable, clean, and reliable. Rehabilitating or replacing vehicles as they near the end of their useful life helps avoid costly repairs and service interruptions caused by vehicle failures. Expansion of the fleet alleviates overcrowding on busy routes and enables the transit system to serve more passengers. Enhancement projects in this program include the expansion and replacement of the light rail vehicle fleet, as well as preparation for the transition to meet the zero-emission fleet mandate set by the California Air Resources Board. Some of our Fleet projects planned include: the replacement and expansion of the motorcoach fleet; replacement and expansion of the motorcoach, historic streetcar and light rail vehicle renovations; and paratransit vehicle replacements.

SFMTA Security Program funds are used to plan, design, and implement emergency/security initiatives in case of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other emergency situations. The program also provides security and emergency preparedness training and exercises for frontline transit employees.

The projects and programmatic areas funded in the Streets Program were selected based on the SFMTA Strategic Plan and the Vision Zero Goal of eliminating traffic deaths; continuation of the previous commitments; inclusion in approved planning documents; and fund-matching opportunities.

The funding for the SFMTA’s Streets Program is approximately $524.5 million through FY2033

The Traffic and Signals Program provides funding for upgrading, replacing, and constructing new traffic signals and signal infrastructure. The SFMTA is replacing outdated signals with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) tools to enhance traffic analysis, provide transit signal priority, and expedite maintenance procedures. ITS tools include advanced traffic signal controllers, traffic cameras, video detection, variable message signs, and a communications network. This program also funds the design and construction of new and upgraded traffic signals to improve safety in line with Vision Zero. The agency is also conducting a traffic signal condition assessment to update existing maintenance models and more accurately forecast capital needs for the traffic signal asset portfolio.

The CIP includes major traffic signal upgrade projects in the Western Addition and the Tenderloin areas which will add pedestrian countdown signals, accessible pedestrian signals, and higher visibility traffic signals. There will also be several projects using City forces that will install higher visibility traffic signals, replace key aging signal equipment such as accessible pedestrian signals and signal controller cabinets, and replace faded pedestrian crossing and street name signs.

In its role as the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency, the SFCTA is responsible for implementing a comprehensive and integrated transportation program to achieve the twin goals of 50 percent trips by transit/walking/biking and financial sustainability. The mobility program supports the redevelopment of Treasure Island into a new mixed-use and mixed-income neighborhood with 8,000 housing units, 27 percent of them affordable. The centerpiece of this effort is a congestion pricing program that applies motorist user fees to support enhanced bus, ferry, and shuttle transit, as well as bicycling options, to reduce the traffic impacts of development. The capital elements of the program include the initial build of the tolling system, ferry vessels and charging infrastructure, and program management costs to deliver the integrated capital program. All work is timed to support new residents on Treasure Island, expected in 2022.

The spending plan for the Treasure Island Mobility Management Program is approximately $29.7 million through FY2033, including prior years' funding. Components of this program have been deferred, with an estimated cost of $24.2 million.
