This document will give you a sense of who we are, our history and where we are going as an organization. Muni is the oldest transit agency that is still owned and operated by a city in the United States. In December 2002, we will celebrate our 90th year of service. Over those 90 years, a focus on improvement has been a cornerstone of our organization. Perhaps the most dramatic improvement has occurred recently. In 1999, far-reaching legislative initiatives were implemented and propelled the agency toward achieving better service. This State of Muni Report provides a snapshot of an organization in transition – an organization that is earning a new reputation by placing people first.
