| SFMTA – Muni Metro Modernization | Muni Metro Modernization is a comprehensive long-term strategy for expanding the capacity of the Muni Metro system. Muni Metro Modernization aims to replace aging infrastructure and enable a longer train in high demand/growth areas, such as West Portal-San Francisco State University (SFSU) and Judah corridor. Modernization would also support more frequent and reliable service systemwide. This program also includes the Muni Core Capacity Study, which will propose a future scenario and identify a sequential program of infrastructure projects to achieve that scenario. The study will also develop a more specific infrastructure project concept along the surface between West Portal and SFSU. |
| SFMTA – Presidio Yard Modernization | The Presidio Division Yard facility is over 100 years old and needs to be replaced. The modernization project aims to provide safer and healthier working conditions to support a reliable and efficient transportation system. The three-level structured bus facility will house a modern bus operations and maintenance facility and Muni’s historic buses. The facility would also be home to the SFMTA Peer Assistance Program and a Public Works street cleaning unit. The new facility will also be equipped with charging infrastructure to support Muni’s transition to battery electric buses. Staff is exploring joint development for this facility. |
| SFMTA – Fleet and Facility Electrification | The SFMTA has committed to transitioning to a 100% zero emission fleet by 2040. This transition requires a balance of project delivery and efficient sequencing of facility transition to allow the SFMTA to begin multi-year procurements of new fleet. SFMTA's Zero-Emission Rollout Plan includes an approach to facility and infrastructure conversion that would enable a full transition by 2040. Upgrading facility infrastructure at all six SFMTA bus facilities is required in advance of fleet procurement to successfully operate a Battery Electric Bus (BEB) fleet, and therefore the achievement of the schedule is entirely dependent on an organized and phased approach to infrastructure and facility upgrades, and on-time delivery of additional electrical supply by our utility partners. This conversion also requires off-site improvements to the SFMTA power supply to accommodate this transition. The program includes the one-time incremental cost of replacing the current biodiesel fleet with BEB technology. |
| SFMTA – Traffic Signal State of Good Repair | Replacing aged traffic signal infrastructure to improve safety and visibility at intersections for pedestrians remains underfunded. Improvements include: larger signals and mast arms to enhance signal visibility for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists; signs to alert drivers to turn restrictions; pedestrian countdown signals, which display the number of seconds remaining to cross the street along with the WALK sign; accessible pedestrian signals, which use audible and tactile means to communicate when it is safe to cross the street for people who are visually impaired. The SFMTA completed a condition assessment report of its signal infrastructure as part of its Asset Management Program. |
| Multiple Departments – ConnectSF | In addition to strengthening and adapting vulnerable infrastructure, the City is also working to make sure that the development of the transportation network supports San Franciscans’ vision for the future. With the help of thousands of residents who participated in focus groups, surveys, and targeted outreach, ConnectSF developed a vision, goals, and objectives that will guide the city’s long-range transportation planning. In the next phase of work, the City and partner agencies will make sure that plans, policies, and investments support the ConnectSF vision through the Transit Corridors Study, the Streets and Freeways Study, and the San Francisco Transportation Plan 2050. |
| SFO – Emerging Projects | SFO completed a recommended Airport Development Plan (ADP) in September 2016. The recommended ADP defines a series of recommended projects that would accommodate potential growth up to approximately 71.1 million annual passengers, serve as a roadmap to guide long-term Airport development, and support the Airport’s strategic objectives. Recommended ADP projects include a new terminal concourse, replacement of the Central Garage, and improvements to the International Terminal Complex. The recommended ADP is currently undergoing required environmental review which began in July 2017. The recommended ADP capital projects can be added to future versions of the CIP, if and when the Airport Commission deems they are warranted to address traffic growth and other factors, subject to all applicable approvals. |
| SFCTA – Yerba Buena Island | SFCTA seeks to develop an accessible bicycle and pedestrian connection between the current terminal of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Span multi-use path at Vista Point and the new Treasure Island ferry terminal via Treasure Island and Hillcrest roads. The existing roadways lack sidewalks and bike lanes that would allow residents of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island to access the East Span. The project will enable bicycle and pedestrian commuters and recreational users the opportunity to travel between the East Bay and San Francisco using active modes and transit. The YBI Multi-Use Path also facilitates the connection from Treasure Island to the future West Span, completing the Bay Skyway from Oakland to San Francisco. The project team completed a feasibility study and is now starting the environmental approval phase. |
| SFCTA – I-280 Ocean Ave Off-Ramp | The project was recommended from the Balboa Park Station Area Circulation Study, adopted by the SFCTA in June 2014. The existing I-280 southbound off-ramp has limited sight distance for vehicles exiting the off-ramp at high speed which can lead to pedestrian and bicycle crossing conflicts. The project will realign the off-ramp from a free-flow right turn into a T-intersection for safety purposes. The project will widen the off-ramp to two lanes and install a retaining wall. The rough order of magnitude estimate for planning, design, and implementation is up to $22 million for the southbound ramp. The project received Caltrans project approval in 2021 and final design started in late 2022. |
