The purpose of this manual is to provide all members with the essential information necessary to fulfill the duties of their positions, and to provide a standard text whereby company officers can: • Enforce standard drill guidelines authorized as a basis of operation for all companies. • Align company drills to standards as adopted by the Division of Training. • Maintain a high degree of proficiency, both personally and among their subordinates. All manuals shall be kept up to date so that all officers may use the material contained in the various manuals to meet the requirements of their responsibility. Conditions will develop in fire fighting situations where standard methods of operation will not be applicable. Therefore, nothing contained in these manuals shall be interpreted as an obstacle to the experience, initiative, and ingenuity of officers in overcoming the complexities that exist under actual fire ground conditions. To maintain the intent of standard guidelines and practices, no correction, modification, expansion, or other revision of this manual shall be made unless authorized by the Chief of Department. Suggestions for correction, modification or expansion of this manual shall be submitted to the Division of Training. Suggestions will be given due consideration, and if adopted, notice of their adoption and copies of the changes made will be made available to all members by the Division of Training.

  • A Year of Movement
    A Year of Movement San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Annual Report VISION Excellent transportation choices for San Francisco. 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.
