Taxi MedallionsMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors7d agoApril 21, 2026
Taxi Workers Plead for Delay on Medallion Settlement as Board Enters Closed Session
The SF Taxi Workers Alliance urged the board to delay a presumed settlement with SF Federal Credit Union, arguing 700 medallion-purchasing drivers lack a seat at the table.
Why it matters: Some 300 drivers have lost $250K medallions to foreclosure with no sales in 10 years; the alliance says any settlement without driver input creates a grave injustice.

Bayview ShuttleMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors7d agoApril 21, 2026
Board Extends Bayview Shuttle Contracts as Community Urges Long-Term Funding Plan
The board unanimously approved extending two community partnership contracts for the Bayview Shuttle through January 2028, fully funded by a CARB grant.
Why it matters: The on-demand shuttle fills a critical transit gap in a neighborhood with double the city's poverty rate and five times its unemployment; losing it after 2027 would betray community trust.

FY2627Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors7d agoApril 21, 2026
Board Approves $4.3B Budget That Hinges on Two November Ballot Measures
The SFMTA board unanimously approved a two-year budget balanced only by assuming voters approve a regional sales tax and local parcel tax in November.
Why it matters: Without new revenue, the agency faces cutting up to 20 Muni routes, doubling wait times, and ending regular service at 9 PM — returning to COVID-era levels.

AB 2561Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors7d agoApril 21, 2026
Hiring Slowdown Drops SFMTA New Hires to a Third of 2023 Levels
SFMTA's chief people officer reported that year-to-date hiring of 220 employees is roughly a third of 2023's 1,143, with three bargaining units exceeding 20% vacancy rates.
Why it matters: The hiring freeze risks gaps in revenue-generating and public-facing positions while the agency faces its most challenging financial crisis in years.

SFMTA Formalizes Merchant Walkthrough Program Across 10+ Commercial Corridors
Director of Streets Victoria Wise confirmed the agency has formalized a merchant walkthrough program to collaboratively adjust curb use in commercial corridors post-COVID.
Why it matters: The program addresses merchant complaints about parking losses and curb-use changes by working corridor-by-corridor to adjust loading zones and metered spaces.

19th AvenueMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors7d agoApril 21, 2026
Caltrans 19th Avenue Repaving Compressed from 40 to 10 Days
SFMTA and Caltrans collaboration reduced the 19th Avenue repaving project from 40 days to 10 days across three long weekends starting April 24.
Why it matters: The compression minimizes disruption to west-side commuters and Muni riders on one of SF's busiest north-south corridors.
New Climate Plan Targets 25% Vehicle Miles Reduction by 2030
Director Kirschbaum highlighted the city's new Climate Action Plan goal of reducing vehicle miles traveled 25% by 2030 and achieving 100% zero-emission vehicles by 2040.
Why it matters: Transportation is San Francisco's largest greenhouse gas source, and only 0.01% of emissions come from Muni — making mode shift the key climate lever.

Curbside EV ChargingMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors21d agoApril 7, 2026
Board approves first permanent curbside EV charging framework at zero public cost
The board unanimously approves a Transportation Code amendment creating a curbside EV charging program targeting 100 chargers by 2030, with private operators bearing all installation and operating costs.
Why it matters: San Francisco has no existing permit structure for curbside charging; this program fills a critical gap for the city's large renter population and advances climate goals by supporting the shift to zero-emission vehicles.
