Muni Rapid travel time reduction proposals (TTRP)The Travel Time Reduction Proposals (TTRP) are a set of recommendations designed to reduce delays on the busiest bus lines and rail routes that constitute the Muni Rapid network. These recommendations were formed through months of investigative work by SFMTA planners and engineers who examined each route individually. Through extensive field work and data analysis, the root causes of the delays were identified and recommendations to minimize these delays are proposed. SFMTA plans to gather community feedback on the proposals this winter and will make modifications based on stakeholder input. As can be expected for a surface running transit system, some of the biggest sources of delay were identified to be from intersections, traffic congestion, narrow lanes and closely spaced transit stops. The proposed travel time reduction proposals (TTRP) would implement roadway and bus stop changes to reduce delays on the transit routes in the Rapid Network. Changes include adding transit bulbs/boarding islands; replacing stop signs with traffic signals or other measures; transit stop changes including moving stops, eliminating stops and adding new stops; traffic engineering changes such as adding turn lanes, turn restrictions and transit-only lanes; and pedestrian improvements such as curb extensions and other crosswalk treatments. Collectively, these tools are called the Transit Preferential Streets toolkit (TPS toolkit). Coupled with on-going agency efforts such as expanded transit signal priority and faster boarding through ticket vending machines, all-door boarding and low-floor buses, the proposals are projected to save customers 10 to 30 percent of travel time on transit. Proposals are being evaluated for the following routes:

Phone: Call 415.701.4599 Details on these proposals will be coming soon, in winter 2012. Each proposal will have moderate and expanded scenarios that will be presented to the communities for refinement and input. SFMTA plans for TTRP to begin implementation after environmental certification. We may also develop pilot projects that would inform the environmental process and gather community input on the changes being piloted to inform final design details. Explore:
