Curbside EV ChargingMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d 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.

Cable CarMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d agoApril 7, 2026
Board signals support for phased cable car price increase with free youth rides
Directors align on a two-step cable car fare change: keep the $12 single ride in year one alongside a new $18 all-day Cable Car Plus pass with two free youth, then drop the single ride in year two.
Why it matters: Cable car rides cost $20 each to provide; the new structure moves toward cost recovery while adding all-day Muni access and free youth rides, turning a tourist attraction into a transit gateway.

Operating BudgetMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d agoApril 7, 2026
SFMTA balances $1.4B budget with state loan, fare capping, and no service cuts
CFO Mahorter presents a balanced two-year operating budget that maintains all Muni service, introduces daily fare capping, and bridges the deficit with a $200M state loan pending voter-approved revenue measures.
Why it matters: The budget closes a $307M structural deficit without cutting service or laying off staff; fare capping is a novel rider benefit, and the entire plan hinges on two ballot measures this November.

Youth board proposes charter expansion and bus interlining to save SFMTA $10M annually
YTAB members present two proposals: a charter amendment to formalize youth ambassador roles and a bus schedule interlining concept they estimate could save $10 million per year.
Why it matters: The interlining proposal, modeled on practices at SAM Transit and Golden Gate Transit, could reduce vehicle requirements on multiple routes while maintaining service quality—a direct efficiency gain during a budget crisis.

CIPMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d agoApril 7, 2026
SFMTA proposes $2.5B capital plan with 76% for system reinvestment
The draft five-year CIP totals $2.5 billion with the lion's share going to state-of-good-repair investments including the $500M train control upgrade and Potrero Yard reconstruction.
Why it matters: Capital needs outpace funding even at $2.5B; deferring state-of-good-repair investments introduces service risk and higher long-term costs while competitive grants now represent 25% of revenue, adding uncertainty.

Consent CalendarMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d agoApril 7, 2026
Board approves Muni equity strategy and five shared-space street closures on consent
The consent calendar passes 7-0, including adoption of the Muni Service Equity Strategy for FY26-28 and five roadway shared-space closure applications.
Why it matters: The equity strategy establishes a framework for prioritizing transit-dependent populations and could unlock $10M in service improvements if the parcel tax passes.

Consultant confirms $300M+ in SFMTA savings as regional transit tax heads to ballot
Director Heminger reports a consultant review found SFMTA achieved over $300 million in operating cost savings since 2020, bolstering the case for a 14-year regional transit sales tax measure.
Why it matters: The efficiency review is a precondition for voter confidence in a new regional sales tax; SFMTA's savings roughly double the anticipated annual new revenue, strengthening the agency's position.
San Francisco
Potrero YardMunicipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors14d agoApril 7, 2026
Potrero Yard clears final hurdle as street safety initiative marks 100 days
Director Kirschbaum reports the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the Potrero Yard modernization project and the street safety initiative reached its 100-day milestone with a new High Injury Network map.
Why it matters: Construction of the earthquake-safe bus yard begins this year; the new High Injury Network map identifies 13% of streets accounting for 74% of severe and fatal crashes, reshaping where the city invests in safety.
