The Capital Programs and Construction Division works closely with our contractors on various projects throughout the city to both enhance the safety and reliability of our transit system and to improve the transit system for future generations of San Francisans. To reach that goal, we must perform construction not only on the streets, but on overhead lines and subways as well. This construction can cause temporary inconvenience to the public, although we always plan the project well in advance to minimize the impacts. Here are some updates on the SFMTA’s major construction projects: The Central Subway Project will continue the new T-Line service from 4th and King Street to Chinatown. The project is currently in the environmental impact review process. Our project team is holding community meetings and Community Advisory Group meetings to solicit public input on the alignment of the subway, as well as the portal locations. The Metro East Light Rail Vehicle Facility is currently under construction on the eastern edge of San Francisco. This major facility will alleviate the overcrowded conditions at the existing Metro Green Facility. The Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP) is an 18-month effort to comprehensively review and evaluate the current Muni transit system and recommend measures to make service more attractive to the public and more economical to operate. A partnership between the SFMTA and the City Controller, the TEP is designed to strengthen Muni's ability to respond to current travel needs, provide a blueprint for future service, apply best practices to service delivery, and promote the system's long-term financial stability. Data collected by the TEP project is available. You may submit comments on the TEP project (pdf). The following projects are conducted by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority in partnership with the SFMTA: Explore: |
