Special Event Parking Rates
During basketball games and other major events with more than 10,000 expected attendees at the arena, parking meters close to the arena will charge a special event rate of $12 per hour. These rates help reduce congestion and keep parking spots available in the neighborhoods near the arena, discouraging circling for free or cheap parking. Start times for special event rates vary based on the start time of the event. More information on special event parking regulations can be found on www.sfmta.com/special-event-parking.

- Northbound 3rd Street between 16th Street and Warriors Way will also be closed approximately 30 minutes before and 45 minutes after the event.

CONSTRUCTION WORK AND OTHER UPDATES
NEW: Citywide Muni Service Changes
Starting Saturday, June 6, Muni will make service changes across San Francisco. These changes aim to improve reliability, reduce crowding and make trips more consistent for riders. These Muni service changes are cost neutral.
Several routes will receive schedule adjustments to improve spacing between buses and reduce delays. To respond to crowding, the SFMTA is also adding targeted late-night service to these routes: 14 Mission and 14 Owl.
There will be additional updates which include:
- Stop changes on the following bus routes: 35 Eureka and 48 Quintara/24th Street
- Reliability improvements on the T Third
- New stop locations tied to the Lake Merced Quick Build Project
These changes are based on rider feedback, operator input and service data. Due to the SFMTA’s budget gap, we cannot increase overall Muni service. Without new funding sources, the SFMTA would have to make significant cuts to Muni service It could mean eliminating one-third of service. For more information about the SFMTA’s budget and the potential solutions we are considering, visit the budget webpage.
For more information, visit SFMTA.com/ServiceChanges.
UPDATE: Mobile Payment Options and Parking Spots Reservation
To make parking in San Francisco easier and more convenient, the SFMTA is now offering more options for paying at meters and reserving parking spots in advance, whether you are driving to work, an event or a night out.
Two new mobile options—ParkMobile and HotSpot—are now available for paying for metered parking in San Francisco. With these apps, drivers can receive payment reminders, extend parking time remotely, and manage parking payment effortlessly from their mobile phone. Customers may also continue to pay with cash or card.
The SFMTA also introduced an online reservation system for reserving a parking space at most city-owned garages up to six months in advance. This system was originally launched at the Civic Center and Performing Arts Garages for special events, it is now available at the majority of the 22 SFMTA garages citywide. This convenient feature removes the hassle of searching for parking and ensures you’ll have a guaranteed space. For more information, visit www.SFMTA.com/ReserveParking.
PayByPhone has been phased out and is no longer available for payment at city-owned parking meters in San Francisco. If you would like to pay for metered parking with an app, please download and use ParkMobile and HotSpot. For details and to choose the app that works for you, visit www.SFMTA.com/PayToPark.
UPDATE: 13th Street Safety Project
Now until 2027: The 13th Street Safety Project is currently under construction to deliver new traffic safety improvements on 13th Street and Duboce Avenue between Folsom and Valencia streets, including protected bike lanes, sidewalk extensions, traffic signal upgrades, accessibility upgrades, sewer upgrades, repaving, and parking/loading changes.
Crews will work at multiple locations over the course of construction, with intermittent lane impacts, traffic shifts, and parking restrictions. Road users should use caution near crews, follow posted signage, and plan for extra travel time when moving through the corridor:
- 13th Street at South Van Ness Avenue (Division Circle Navigation Center frontage): Crews are building a new sidewalk segment and a separated bike lane channel. During this work, only one eastbound right-turn lane is available from 13th Street to southbound South Van Ness Avenue. When construction is complete, both eastbound right-turn lanes will reopen. Anticipated restoration: mid-June 2026
- Duboce Avenue at Otis Street /Mission Street: Work is underway on new curb ramps and a refresh of the north side median island. Two southbound left-turn lanes from Otis Street to eastbound 13th Street will remain open during construction. Drivers continuing southbound through the intersection should use the bus-only lane as signed. Once the island work is complete, the intersection will return to two southbound left-turn lanes, one general traffic lane, and one bus-only lane. Anticipated restoration: early to mid-June 2026
Construction is led by San Francisco Public Works in partnership with the SFMTA. For construction updates and to sign up for notifications, visit sfpublicworks.org/13thStreetSafety. For project details and design information, visit SFMTA.com/13thStreetSafety.
UPDATE: Cable Car Sheaves
On Wednesday, June 3, crews will finish the final phase of restoring the Cable Car sheave at the Powell and Market streets turnaround. The sheave is a massive, grooved wheel that guides the underground cables through specialized pulley systems. The work on June 3 will focus on replacing the existing sheave with one that has been refurbished.
This work will only affect the Powell Street segment of the Cable Car system, where buses will substitute Cable Car service from Ellis to Jackson streets. Riders can transfer to the Hyde and Mason streets lines. The California Street Cable Car line will not be affected.
