An Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) is a pedestrian pushbutton that communicates when to cross the street in a non-visual manner, such as audible tones, speech messages, and vibrating surfaces.

Requesting APS at an intersection
The SFMTA Board of Directors adopted a policy giving residents the ability to call or write to SFMTA to request APS at a specific intersection. These requests are prioritized and the Request List published annually, using it to apply for funding to design and construct APS.

Expanding our Program
Currently, 54 intersections across the City have APS. We are designing APS for another 60 intersections. See below for the complete lists of intersections, or
