The New Sounds of the Muni Metro Subway
By Rick Banchero
Have you heard the change? For some, the change was surprising.
As a number of Muni Metro customers have noticed, we did indeed make a change to our public address system. Gone is our antiquated analog system with its muffled announcements and audio levels that varied depending on which station you were at. In its place, we have a new, much more robust public address system that will improve communications with subway customers.
Our new PA system has been designed to work in concert with our new LED colored display signs located on subway platforms and downtown subway mezzanine levels.
First, let's address the obvious - the voices. There are now two distinct voices that will be heard when audio announcements are made. A female voice will be heard for messages affecting service in the inbound direction while a male voice will be heard on messages affecting service in the outbound direction. While it may take some getting used to, customers will be able to more easily identify the service messages that would affect their specific commute.
Other features of the new system that will improve the customer service experience:
- Improved audio quality.
- More accurate departure time information.
- Ability to automate and schedule messages.
- Audio announcements will have accompanying text which will scroll on display signs.
- The PA system and signs will announce/display the next two departure times for each line.
Even with the ability to automate messages SFMTA personnel in our control centers, as well as station agents can still make live announcements as needed in case of any unforeseen disruptions or emergencies.
While the system is fully functional, we are still in the process of making system adjustments, fine-tuning audio levels and attending to any other issues that might arise when setting up a new piece of equipment.

UPDATE: Salesforce Transit Center Closure
By Benjamin Barnett
On Tuesday, crews working on the Salesforce Transit Center, discovered a fissure on a 3rd-floor steel beam near Fremont Street. Out of an abundance of caution, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) decided to close the terminal temporarily. All bus routes have been rerouted to the temporary Transbay Center at Howard and Main streets: The 5 Fulton, 5R Fulton Rapid, 7 Haight-Noriega, 25 Treasure Island, 38 Geary and 38R Geary Rapid are affected. The closure is ongoing until further notice.
At today's press conference, officials explained how inspections showed an additional fissure on an adjacent beam at the Fremont Street location. The TJPA will conduct additional ultrasonic testing to determine the extent of the damage and will continue to monitor the location.
There are several traffic impacts due to the terminal closure and the closure of Fremont Street between Mission and Howard, particularly during peak commute hours. Motorists are kindly asked to avoid driving downtown and to avoid the Fremont exit of the freeway. Transit riders are encouraged to allow extra time for their commute.
Ambassadors will be on site to direct riders to boarding locations and provide updated transit information, so be on the lookout for our staff wearing neon vests if you need assistance. Casual carpool drop-off, in the South of Market neighborhood, may be affected by the Fremont Street closure. Paratransit transfer points may change. No matter how you travel into San Francisco, please allow additional time during your commute.
We will continue to provide service updates and other relevant information as it becomes available. Be sure to check our webpage, Twitter and 511.org for service updates.

This Weekend: Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival in Potrero Hill and Sunday Streets Returns to the Tenderloin.
By Schad Dalton
Powell/Mason Cable Car Line Motorization:
Beginning this Friday evening, September 21 at 10 p.m. until the end of service on Sunday, September 30, the Powell/Mason Cable Car Line will be serviced by motor coaches between Powell and Washington streets and Francisco and Taylor streets as part of the Cable Car Barn Gearbox Rehabilitation Project. The work is to refurbish the gearboxes that power the cable car line to help ensure that it remains in good repair for years to come. Riders of the bus shuttles will not be required to pay fares, nor will there be an additional fare for transferring from a cable car to a bus shuttle. However, those transferring from a bus shuttle to a cable car will still be required to pay the regular cable car fare.

Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival
Sunday, 11 AM to 4 PM
Potrero Hill
Relief printing --the process where a raised surface is covered with ink, then brought into contact with paper-- is a method used to print illustrations in books that's been used for centuries. This Sunday at the San Francisco Center for the Book on Rhode Island Street in northern Potrero Hill, that process will be taken to a unique extreme during the 15th Annual Roadworks Steamroller Printing Festival. The event will feature the printing of linocuts --using linoleum as the surface upon which the ink will be applied before pressing onto paper-- using a seven-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller out on Rhode Island Street itself. These prints will then be available for purchase with all proceeds benefiting the San Francisco Center for the Book.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 10 Townsend, 19 Polk, 22 Fillmore, or the 55 16th Street routes to the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 10 and 19 routes will have reroutes in the area of the event. All lines in the area may experience minor delays and/or increased ridership.
Sunday Streets: Tenderloin
Sunday. 11 AM to 4 PM
Downtown/Civic Center
Sunday Streets returns to the Tenderloin neighborhood for the second time this season with car-free family fun taking place just north of the Civic Center between Golden Gate Avenue and Ellis Street to the south and north respectively and Larkin and Jones streets to the west and east. Sunday's event will feature live music and DJs, a saxophone tribute to legendary jazz musician John Coltrane in honor of his birthday, a Dogs of the Tenderloin dog show on Ellis Street and much more.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take any Muni Metro line to the Civic Center station, the F Market and Wharves Line, as well as the 5 Fulton, 6 Haight/Parnassus, 7 Haight/Noriega, 9 San Bruno, 19 Polk, 21 Hayes, 27 Bryant, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary, 38R Geary Rapid, 47 Van Ness or the 49 Van Ness/Mission routes to near the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 19, 27, and 31 routes will have reroutes in the area of the event. All routes near the event may experience minor delays and/or increased ridership.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Taking Care Of A San Francisco Icon
By Jay Lu
There is nothing more San Francisco than jumping on a cable car and stepping back in time. With 130 years of service, upgrades and maintenance are inevitable. This week we will begin upgrading the gearboxes located in the Cable Car Barn. To accommodate the work, bus shuttles will substitute the Powell-Mason Line along the northern route from Powell and Washington streets to Taylor Street at Francisco Street. Bus service will begin on Friday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. until the end of service on Saturday, Sept. 29. Regular cable car service will resume at the start of service on Sunday, Sept. 30.
During this bus substitution, all other cable car lines will operate as usual providing service for those who want to enjoy a delightful ride on one of San Francisco’s iconic cable cars. Powell-Mason customers traveling to the northern terminal at Francisco and Bay can ride Powell-Hyde Line and transfer to a bus at Powell and Washington streets to continue the rest of the trip.
The bus shuttles will follow the Mason Line and pick up passengers at the curb at cable car stops. The terminal at Taylor and Bay streets will be out of service. The temporary bus stop is on Taylor, north of Francisco Street. Bus service will be free for cable car customers. Regular fare of $7 will apply on cable cars.
The purpose of the Cable Car Barn Propulsion Gearbox Rehabilitation Project is to overhaul and refurbish the gearboxes that have been in service since 1984. They are in need of a thorough overhaul to keep the cable cars running properly on the streets of San Francisco.
The gearboxes functioning in the Barn control the speed and movements of cable cars. Each of the four gearboxes takes about eight days to refurbish, after which there is a five-month break-in and monitoring periods. Out of the four gearboxes, the California gearbox was rehabbed in September last year. After the Mason Line work, there will be two more phases:
- Powell Line – Spring 2019
- Hyde Line – Fall of 2019

San Francisco’s Stationless Bikeshare Pilot Reaches Mid-Point Milestone
By Ben Jose
At today’s SFMTA Board of Directors meeting, agency staff shared preliminary findings from a mid-point evaluation of San Francisco’s 18-month electric, stationless bikeshare pilot.
JUMP Bikes is the only permittee in the pilot, which began in January. They were also the only applicant that completed an application and met the requirements for a stationless bike share permit from the SFMTA.
When JUMP was first offered its permit in January 2018, the SFMTA created a pilot program that allowed for an initial rollout of 250 bikes, with the potential to add an additional 250 after the first nine months, pending agency review.
The decision to expand the number of bikes in the pilot ultimately lies with the SFMTA Director of Transportation and today’s staff presentation was an informational update to the agency’s board. The Director of Transportation’s formal decision to expand the pilot is expected by October 9.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS & DATA
While the pilot’s mid-point evaluation and analysis will be made public in October, preliminary findings have produced a staff recommendation for the agency to expand the number of bikes in the pilot from 250 to 500.
In just over seven months of operation, data received from JUMP showed the SFMTA that:
- More than 326,000 total trips were taken
- Approximately 2,250 trips are taken each weekday
- The average JUMP bike is used eight to 10 times a day
- The average JUMP trip is 2.6 miles
- There have been approximately 38,000 unique users of the pilot
Data and graph provided by JUMP Bikes.
PUBLIC FEEDBACK & EQUITY
Through this pilot program, the agency has also prioritized gathering public feedback to identify opportunities for improvement.
For example, while 55 percent of JUMP trips start or end in San Francisco’s Communities of Concern (CoC), which are the most disadvantaged communities in the city, some CoCs have reported underservice. To that end, agency staff will work with JUMP to improve geographic equity and distribution, as well as develop more robust community engagement.
One area where the SFMTA has heard very limited public concern is improper parking and blocked sidewalk access. An integrated lock that secures a JUMP bike to a bike rack has addressed the city’s initial concerns with potential parking issues. At the time of their permit application, JUMP was the only company to include an integrated lock on their bike.
AGENCY MID-POINT EVALUATION CONCLUSIONS
The SFMTA’s stationless bikeshare pilot is similar to approaches the agency has taken in the past, using pilots and short-term permits to better understand the needs and impacts of new mobility services.
This approach has allowed the city to use data to draw conclusions and make informed decisions. Some of the key mid-point conclusions the agency has reached from this pilot include the following:
- Public demand for shared, electric bikes is high.
- JUMP bikes complement the Ford GoBike system, with different trip lengths, origins and destinations.
- Integrated locks address issues with improper parking and sidewalk access.
- Stationless bikeshare leads to an increasing demand for bike parking infrastructure.
- The city needs to work with JUMP to improve bike rebalancing and better address geographic equity and equitable community engagement.

Between September and October of 2018, residents and merchants in the Dogpatch will see new parking signs and up to 50 multi-space parking meters installed on nearby streets. The SFMTA will be installing four types of parking controls as part of the Dogpatch Parking Management Plan:
- Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Area EE
- 4-hour time-limited parking
- Metered parking with 4-hour time limits
- Metered parking with no time limits
About The Dogpatch Parking Management Plan
As residential and commercial development activity in the Dogpatch has accelerated over the last several years, on-street parking regulations became necessary to help ensure that parking is available for those who need it the most. When parking spaces are left unregulated, they tend to stay occupied, leaving drivers to circle looking for a spot. This adds to increased traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and transit delays. It also makes the streets less safe and pleasant for people who live in, work in and visit the neighborhood.
On April 17, 2018, after two years of planning and community outreach, the SFMTA Board of Directors approved the Dogpatch Neighborhood Parking Plan and the establishment of RPP Area EE.
The Dogpatch Parking Management Plan is an effort to improve the availability of on-street parking and meet the current and future demands for parking in the neighborhood.
Though Dogpatch is a dynamic, popular and growing neighborhood, only 20 percent of the on-street parking is currently regulated. The Parking Plan, which includes residential parking restrictions, general time limits and paid parking, will help to improve parking availability in the face of growing demand. Under the new plan, 96 percent of parking in the Dogpatch will now be regulated.
Did you know?
- Today, there are approximately 1,500 housing units in the Dogpatch.
- Over the next two years, the City Planning Department estimates that over 1,500 new residential units will be built in the Dogpatch, doubling the total population.
- The Pier 70 project will add as many as 3,000 housing units and 9,800 jobs.
- There are currently 400 business establishments, employing roughly 7,000 workers in the Dogpatch.
- There are more than 2,600 on-street parking spaces in the Dogpatch (80 percent of which are currently unregulated). These spaces are nearly 100 percent occupied on weekdays. As residential and commercial development continues to thrive, parking conditions will only deteriorate further if action is not taken to actively manage them.
How to Avoid a Parking Citation
- Look for and comply with all posted parking control signs.
- If a meter has been installed, please make sure to insert proper payment. Meters will begin accepting payment as soon as they are installed and activated.
- Parking meters accept payment by cash, credit card, SFMTA Parking Card, or you may pay with the PayByPhone service. PayByPhone allows you to add time to a meter from wherever you are. To pay by phone, call 1-866-490-7275 or download the PayByPhone App for your smartphone.
- Consult the Dogpatch Parking Plan map to become familiar with the location of all planned parking controls.
To provide assistance with the new meters and answer questions, SERCO (City’s Parking Meter vendor) will have ambassadors present on the new metered blocks during the first week of meter operations.
If you have any questions regarding the Dogpatch Parking Management Plan and/or about the new meters, please visit our project webpage or contact Parking and Curb Management at InfoRPP@sfmta.com.

Vision Zero SF Motorcycle Safety Trainings
By
Motorcycle riders are some of the most vulnerable road users in the city and have an especially high fatality rate. While motorcycle riders make up only two percent of road users here, they account for as much as 20 percent of traffic fatalities and 75 percent of motorcycle crash victims in San Francisco are residents.
We need to reduce those numbers to zero, and you can help. Do you ride a motorcycle or scooter in San Francisco? We have some free training sessions for you.
Brush up on safety tips and become a resource to the riding community by joining the SFMTA safety trainers and other riders from San Francisco for Vision Zero SF Motorcycle Safety Ambassador Trainings. We all have to do our part to keep our roads safe and taking our safety class is a great first step.
At the meeting we will:
- Learn statistics and best practices about riding in San Francisco.
- Discuss new trends and changes coming to our city’s streets.
- Talk about the best ways to be an ambassador and riding expert within your community.
- Answer questions – to each other and to the SFMTA and SFPD – about riding in San Francisco.
- Meet other riders and have fun.

What To Know About Proposition 6
By
In 2017, State Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose) successfully sponsored Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), which raised the State’s gasoline and diesel fuel taxes, raised the annual vehicle registration fee which is based on the value of the vehicle, and imposed a $100 registration surcharge on zero-emission vehicles, in order to raise new revenue to fund transportation improvements throughout the State. Following the passage of SB 1, California voters passed a state constitutional amendment in June 2018, Proposition 69, which created a lockbox for SB 1 funds, ensuring these dollars could only be used for transportation purposes.
Since the enactment of SB 1, a measure has qualified for the November 2018 statewide ballot seeking to reverse these approved taxes and fees. Proposition 6 specifically seeks to repeal all SB 1 taxes and fees that would have been assessed after Election Day, and would require statewide voter approval for any proposed future gas, diesel, or vehicle related tax or fee increase.
Revenue from the new gas taxes and fees provides approximately $5 billion per year in annual state transportation funding for the next ten years— a total of over $50 billion. Prior to SB 1, the gas tax was last raised 24 years ago, and had lost much of its purchasing power over the last two decades. SB 1 funding focuses on the backlog of unfunded transportation maintenance, rehabilitation, and safety repairs. Project examples include: transit maintenance, road paving, and bridge repair, among others. California has an estimated transportation backlog of $130 billion.
San Francisco stands to receive over $60 million annually from the new gas taxes and other fee revenue. This includes $30 million to support transit operations, $9.5 million to address our transit maintenance backlog, and $23 million to fund 39 miles of road repaving across the City. In addition, several key state transportation competitive funding programs have all been enhanced by SB 1, which fund investments such as road repaving, new light rail vehicles, bus maintenance facility improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, among others.
In addition to providing new revenue to San Francisco, SB 1 provides significant funding to several major Bay Area transportation initiatives such as the San Jose BART extension ($730M), adding new BART cars ($318M), and new Caltrain cars ($164M), among others.
If Proposition 6 passes, all funds collected prior to Election Day will still be valid. However, the new annual funding streams which will bring in over $5 billion per year to the State and $60 million per year to San Francisco, will no longer be available. Visit the website for more information on SB 1 funded projects throughout the State.

Festa Coloniale Italiana
Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM
North Beach
Marking its 100th year this Saturday, September 15, the Festa Coloniale Italiana or Italian Festival will pull out all the stops for this typically joyous event. Taking place on Stockton Street adjacent from Washington Square Park in the heart of North Beach, the event is an authentic Italian street festival, complete with live music, wine tasting, dancing and Italian cuisine. There will also be a free concert event after the festival in celebration of its 100-year anniversary.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 8 Bayshore, 30 Stockton, 39 Coit, or 45 Union/Stockton routes to the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 39 Coit Route will have a reroute while the other routes in the area may experience increased ridership or minor delays in the area of the event.
Chinatown Autumn Moon Festival
Saturday and Sunday, 11 AM to 6 PM
Chinatown
The Moon has long been looked upon in wonder and amazement, often worshipped as a deity throughout early human history, so it's no surprise that many cultures still maintain centuries-old traditions that revolve around our planet's lone satellite. The Autumn Moon Festival --celebrated in Asia for over 1,000 years-- taking place this weekend in Chinatown is one of those ancient traditions. The festival will showcase arts and crafts booths, cultural exhibits, lots of food and multiple, colorful parades along Grant Avenue between California Street and Columbus Avenue.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the California Cable Car Line, 1 California, 8 Bayshore, 10 Townsend, 12 Folsom/Pacific, 30 Stockton, or 45 Union/Stockton routes to near the event.
Muni Service Notes: The 10 and 12 routes will have reroutes while the other routes in the area may experience increased ridership or minor delays in the area of the event.
“On Tap” gives you a heads up about the big events in town and what Muni routes and lines will get you to the party. Look for this feature to be posted usually on Thursdays for a look ahead to the weekend. Check out our Weekend Traffic & Transit Advisory for more details.

Update: Slow Subway Service This Past Week
By
Over the last 72 hours, Muni Metro riders have been stuck in significant delays. We want to take this opportunity to explain what has been going on and what we are doing to fix it. As you might have heard, we finished Twin Peaks tunnel work on time on August 25th. This work was necessary to improve the tunnel’s tracks, walls and drainage systems so it can continue to operate safely and reliably for years to come. Initially, the rail service was running as intended.
This past weekend, the contractor for the Twin Peaks project, completed the first of two nightly weekend shutdowns (the second will occur this weekend) to perform some routine tasks as part of the project requirements. It appears that the equipment the construction crews were using, damaged some of the components that make the automatic train control system work correctly (automatic train control is the feature that controls the train within the subway, while our operators drive the train on the surface).
Early Saturday morning we began to experience anomalies in our train control system that randomly stopped some trains from entering West Portal station (this is where K, L and M trains switch from manual operation to automatic operation). When this happens, the only way to move trains through the area is to proceed at a significantly reduced speed to Forest Hill station (the next stop). Once the operator gets the train to Forest Hill, they can then proceed at normal speed. Unfortunately, operating at the slower speeds in this portion of the subway, significantly slows service in the entire metro system. Despite our attempts to fix the issue everytime it occurs, it continues to persist.
Our transit team immediately began troubleshooting this issue over the weekend and replaced all components of the train control system. Still, the problem persisted. We have also been working with the train control system manufacturer to address the issue. They are currently gathering data that is being analyzed and can be used to specifically identify the problem area, so we can make the fix. We believe that we will have a solution in place as early as this week.
In the meantime, should the delays continue, we have positioned staff at West Portal station in an effort to make mechanical and electrical adjustments to keep the trains moving and service running. We are devoted to finding a solution as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will keep you updated on our progress.

Muni - The Sky's The Limit
By Benjamin Barnett
Muni has been bucking nationwide trends of declining ridership. Last year, Muni saw about 720,000 boardings on the average weekday. Ten years ago, the system saw about 650,000 average weekday boardings, that is a 10 percent increase. Nationwide, transit ridership is down by four percent over the past two years. This has been driven by declines in bus ridership, which is down by 7 percent.
Over the last two years, the SFMTA has made a series of improvements systemwide and those investments are paying off as ridership has largely increased. Rapid bus routes grew by 8 percent, Frequent service is up 3 percent, and Express is also up 5 percent. At the corridor level, ridership increased significantly on Mission (11 percent), Geary up by 6 percent and Bayshore up by 11 percent.
Over the past three years, we implemented some of the most significant service changes in Muni history, including launching the Rapid network, significantly realigning routes to better meet demand and improving reliability through travel time improvements.
We have been pleased to see these positive changes implemented and would like to thank everyone for riding Muni.
