Transit Effectiveness Project logoWelcome to the website of the Transit Effectiveness Project (TEP)—a collaboration between the SFMTA and the City Controller’s Office that represents the first top-to-bottom review of San Francisco's public transit system in over a generation. TEP recommendations are designed to make Muni service more reliable, quicker and more frequent.

SFMTA Budget Update for Fiscal Year 2010

As a result of the severe economic downturn, the SFMTA is facing an unprecedented budget deficit of $128.9 million for fiscal year 2010.  To help balance the budget, the SFMTA Board of Directors is considering a broad range of options, including potential service reductions and modifications, which if approved, would most likely be implemented in September 2009.  It is important to note that these service modifications do not represent the implementation of the TEP recommendations.  However, they have been informed by the data collected and the extensive public input received during the TEP planning phase. While the budget challenges may slow the SFMTA’s progress toward TEP recommendations, staff is currently developing the TEP Implementation Plan and will be presenting it to the SFMTA Board of Directors this summer. In addition, the Agency continues to apply best practices learned through the TEP to improve service reliability, especially on our busiest lines.

Muni Ridership Data Available Online

Ridership data for each weekday service bus and rail line is now available online at www.sfmta.com/tepdata.
