Recommendation from a CAC Committee
Operations & Customer Service Committee (OCSC) (Discussion/Action)
Metro service
Motion 012306.02
WHEREAS the OCSC has met with street operations and central control personnel to try to determine why the Metro system doesn’t work for the customers and everyone at Muni seems to be doing the job they have been assigned to do, still the train headways seldom are within range of the published headways. This is bad news for the customers and probably a big reason that Muni is not attracting new riders.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the OCSC urges Muni to study Metro operations to determine how best to run the Metro lines efficiently. Here are some of the suggestions we have proposed in the past that we request you consider for more efficient Metro operations:
¨ Treat outbound L’s, K’s, and M’s as interchangeable lines such that the appropriate order and balance in service is maintained at all times.
¨ Assign a line Manager or Inspector who would be responsible for each route. Managers and Inspectors should be trained to understand the general strategy for each route such that there are few contradictions between inspectors at different points in the route. “Next Bus” should be used to assist in making necessary adjustments.
¨ Metro should have signal priority at every crossing in as many sections of each line as possible. Where possible, delete 4 way stop signs and replace with signals. The remaining stop signs on Muni routes should be coordinated with passenger stops and only be provided for pedestrian safety and convenience. Investigate the possibility of relocating the stop to combine the passenger stop near the safety stop.
¨ Provide ticket vending machines to speed up loading at busy stops.
¨ Provide more signs to encourage passengers with tickets to use all doors.
Cable Car – Re-working of the text and adopting
Motion 012306.03
CAC supports a continued staffing level of at least nine inspectors.
CAC supports the purchase of at least four laptop computers for the inspectors use.
CAC supports increased investigation of fare collection.
CAC supports increased open hours of the fare collection booths at the cable car terminals. |

Recommendation from a CAC Committee
Engineering, Maintenance and Safety Committee (EMSC) (Discussion/Action)
Motion 012306.04
The MTA CAC recommends that a Citizens Advisory Committee be established to provide citizen input to the planning process for the Van Ness and the Potrero Bus Rapid Transit projects.
Motion 012306.05
The MTA CAC recommends that a closer interaction take place between the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and the MTA in the design and construction of all transit projects where the MTA will be responsible for operations. These projects include, but are not limited to, the Geary, Van Ness and Potrero Bus Rapid Transit projects.
Motion 012306.06
The MTA CAC recommends that a full 30-year life cycle economic analysis per rider be completed for light rail versus bus vehicles for the proposed Bus Rapid Transit projects on Geary, Van Ness and Potrero.
Motion 012306.07
The MTA CAC recommends that the MTA fund the required half-life rehabilitation maintenance of the 45 NABI diesel buses in the 2006-2007 fiscal year budget.
Motion 012306.08
The MTA CAC recommends that the rail replacement funds not be transferred to the operations budget and not be reduced from the current funding levels.
