This Plan compiles information provided by the City’s Enterprise departments— the Port of San Francisco, the San Francisco Metropolitan Transportation Agency, San Francisco International Airport, and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Those departments have their own timelines and Commissions that govern their capital processes. The information in this Plan represents the best available at the time of publication. 

The Plan captures nearly $19 billion in Enterprise department capital investments during the next 10 years, a 3.8% increase from the previous Plan. 

Major projects identified in the last Plan such as the Central Subway, the Transbay Transit Center, Pier 70, and SFO terminal improvements, are proceeding. Additional Enterprise department needs have arisen, most notably the need to fortify the Seawall along the northern waterfront to protect the buildings, transportation systems, and horizontal infrastructure in that part of the city, as well as the residents, workers, and visitors who frequent there. 

Enterprise departments appear in this Plan’s G.O. Bond Program. The SFMTA passed a $500 million Transportation G.O. Bond in 2014, and there is another one planned for 2024, as well as a $350 million bond to fortify the Seawall in 2018. 

The Enterprise departments also issue revenue bonds against the revenues generated from user fees, taxes, and surcharges. Table 1.4 shows the current amount of revenue bonds to be issued for each department over the 10-year term of this Plan. 

As with the G.O. Bond and COP Programs, all revenue bond issuances are subject to change based on market conditions and cash flow needs of the associated projects. 

For external agencies City College of San Francisco, San Francisco Unified School District, the San Francisco Housing Authority, Treasure Island Development Agency, and the Office of Community Investment & Infrastructure (the successor agency to the Redevelopment Authority), the Plan captures $11 billion in capital investments over the next 10 years, a 29% increase from the last Capital Plan.

Pay-As-You-Go Program

The Plan proposes funding the majority of the City’s ongoing annual needs with General Fund dollars through the Pay-As-You-Go (Pay-Go) Program. These are typically smaller investments to maintain facilities and infrastructure in a state of good repair or fund critical infrastructure needs. Within the Pay-Go Program, projects are categorized as Routine Maintenance, ADA Facilities, ADA Public Right-of-Way, Street Resurfacing, Critical Enhancements, Facility Renewal, and Right-of-Way Infrastructure Renewal.

Table 1.3 provides a summary of the Plan’s planned funding for the Pay-Go Program by expenditure category. The planned investment over 10 years is $1.2 billion. This level is $1 billion lower than the previous Plan funding level due to budget impacts in the early years resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of this loss in revenue is made up by Certificate of Participation (COP) investments described on the following pages.

General Fund Departments

General Fund departments primarily rely on the General Fund to support their infrastructure needs. Table 1.2 outlines a program summary of planned General Fund department investments, as well as projects deferred from the Plan due to funding limitations. These projects and more are discussed in the Plan's Service Area chapters (06-12).
