MISSION We connect San Francisco through a safe, equitable and sustainable transportation system. Table of Contents Letter from the DOT About the SFMTA SFMTA Strategic Plan Moving Muni Forward Improving Access to Transportation Making Streets Safer with Vision Zero Building Out the Bike Network Driving Innovation Protecting the Environment Our Workplace Connects to the Transportation System Working with Communities Completed Projects FY 2017-2018 Projects on the Horizon Financial Information Key Performance Indicators Acknowledgments This annual report shares milestones and data covering the fiscal year that began July 1, 2017 and closed June 30, 2018. This period comprises the final year of the Fiscal Year 2013–2018 SFMTA Strategic Plan. A Year of Movement San Francisco is the epicenter of transportation innovation. This was true a century ago, when our city introduced Muni as the first publicly owned transit system in the nation. San Francisco continues to be the home of transportation innovations, from the great strides we’ve made to embrace environmentally friendly transportation options and being the home of the greenest public transit system in North America, to proactively designing streets that prioritize your safety and well-being no matter how you move around the city. Our annual report describes the many ways that we work to manage, operate and regulate the city’s transportation system to ensure that it is safe, reliable and equitable. Thanks to historic investments to replace and expand the entire Muni fleet with state-of-the-art light rail vehicles and new coaches, trolleys and hybrid buses, Muni now generates less than 2 percent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The Problem: Regional job sprawl and the decline of transit-served central business districts _ 6 II. The Solution: The best environmental and economic response for the region is to expand our dynamic, transit-served central business districts _______________________________________ 16 III. The Constraints: We are running out of capacity in downtown San Francisco to accommodate much new employment growth _______________________________________________________ 20 The Zoning Constraint: Downtown San Francisco is running out of zoned space for jobs. 20 The Transportation Constraint: Our regional transportation system — roads and trains — is nearing capacity at key points in our downtown. 29 IV.
