Investment Scenario Approach
Complementary choices among investment types (e.g.
replacement vehicles, rapid transit network
development can increase effective level of transit
service)
But also:
Tradeoffs between and within investment types (e.g.
Operations, Maintenance, Programs, Expansion), modes,
geographic areas and
Plan development considered multiple factors: Need,
Performance, Cost-Effectiveness, Public Input , Policy/Plan
status, Equity

Findings & Recommendations Transit Operations
Crowding, unreliability, and service reductions continue without more investment; moreover,
current Muni service is financially unsustainable, need to study alternatives
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
6
Plan recommendations:
Invest $410M (13% of discretionary revenues)
toward continued/new transit services (mostly
Muni, plus potentially, a small amount for new
contracted regional bus service)
Result: Slows the decline of service, cuts
would still be inevitable
Other policy recommendations:
• Advocate for new, dedicated transit
operating revenue
• Pursue Muni cost management strategies,
in concert with regional efforts

S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
Other policy recommendations, continued:
• Enable regional operator inbound pick ups
• Study/pilot new models of service delivery
Findings & Recommendations Transit Maintenance
Unreliability and cost trends will continue to worsen unless we act decisively to address SOGR.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
8
Plan rec’s:
Increase transit SOGR investment by $10M/
year (9% of discretionary revenue) toward
capital asset maintenance (vehicles, facilities,
guideways) to fund 70% of most critical needs
Result: Replace all vehicles and 70% of other
mission critical assets on time
Other policy rec’s:
• Finish Muni Asset Mgmt System, C3 and
Radio Replacement projects
• Implement Muni Facilities Plan
• Develop pipeline of projects and funding
strategy
Source: SFMTA Transit Effectiveness Project
Findings & Recommendations Local Streets and Roads Maintenance
Without significant investment pavement degradation will impair safe travel by all modes.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
9
Plan rec’s:
Increase LS&R investment by $460M (over
$16M/year, 15% of discretionary revs) for pavement
resurfacing and reconstruction
Result: Over time, worsens PCI about 15% to 50’s (vs.
64 today)
Other policy rec’s:
• Do “Smart SOGR” – follow the paving/sewer
project for complete streets, reduced costs
• Support full roll-out of Envista as a map-based
coordination platform for street/sewer
improvement projects
• Must advocate for additional resurfacing funding
Findings & Recommendations Programmatic Enhancements
The city can deliver Complete Streets more efficiently and effectively than today.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
10
Plan rec’s: Invest $640M (20% of
discretionary revenue) into multi-modal
(pedestrian, bicycling, traffic calming,
signal) projects.
Note: This investment level represents
aspirational delivery rates, based on past and
current indications; it could be delivered in ½
the Plan period with strong policy and political
support.
Result: Safer, more complete pedestrian,
bicycle and transit networks; calmer
streets, smoother traffic flows
Source: SFMTA Pedestrian Strategy
Findings & Recommendations Programmatic Enhancements – complete streets
The city can deliver Complete Streets more efficiently and effectively than today.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
11
Other policy rec’s:
• Increase transparency and public
involvement through “Citizen’s Guide to
Transportation Improvements in SF”
• Clarify city’s Complete Streets design
policies, processes and standards.
• Support MTA’s revised Traffic Calming
program, Pedestrian Strategy, and
creation of signals investment strategy
(e.g., for the “Sfgo” program).
Findings & Recommendations Programmatic Enhancements - transit
Muni and Regional transit enhancements – a focus on “customer first” improvements
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
12
Plan recommendations:
Maintain existing levels at $330M or $11.8M/year (10.5% of
discretionary revs) toward transit enhancements, e.g. development of
regional and local transit hubs with real-time information and access
improvements, including integration of bike/car sharing, taxi and
pedestrian safety, e.g. at Balboa Station
Result: More consistent and convenient user experience
Other policy rec’s:
• Coordinate major capital projects e.g. Embarc./Montgomery BART
stations with Transbay Terminal, Better Market Street
• Coordinate transit investment with land use development plans, M-
Line, Bayview Waterfront Transit Center, Geneva BRT, Treasures Island
• Increase regional partnerships & advocacy to develop project pipeline
Findings & Recommendations Programmatic Enhancements – Transportation Demand Mgmt
We must broaden our Transportation Demand Management (TDM) efforts to reach our goals.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
13
Plan recommendations:
Increase TDM investment to $60M ($2.1M/year, or 2% of
discretionary revs) for strategies to encourage time and mode
shifts away from single-occupant automobile trips.
Other policy rec’s:
• Continue to develop pricing and other peak–spreading
strategies (Treasure Island, Cordon Pricing, parking pricing,
and Employer policies)
• Develop MTA regulatory programs to allow safe integration
of 3rd party providers (Muni Partners, taxi/ride-sharing)
• Encourage, grow community-based mobility solutions, e.g.
vehicle sharing, volunteer driver program
• Explore area-wide parking cap or employer trip reduction
programs for SoMA/MissionBay
Findings & Recommendations Efficiency and expansion projects
We must improve system performance (reliability, travel times) to meet existing and future
demands.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
14
Plan recommendations:
Investment $880M ($31M/year, or 28% of discretionary revs) in new projects and studies to raise
the operational efficiency of our system and meet the demands of growth.
Findings & Recommendations Efficiency and expansion projects
We must improve system performance (reliability, travel times) to meet existing and future
demands.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
15
In addition to the Committed Projects,
the Plan includes:
• Continued rapid transit network
development for travel times and
reliability (TEP, Geary, Geneva and
Potrero/Bayshore BRT
• Address rapid network
capacity and
performance
bottlenecks (Transit
Performance
Initiative, BART
Metro)
Findings & Recommendations Efficiency and expansion projects
We must improve system performance (reliability, travel times) to meet existing and future
demands.
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
16
In addition to the Committed Projects, the Plan includes:
• Setting a vision for SF freeway management strategies
• Study of our long range BART/Muni/Caltrain transit
network development
Other Policy Rec’s:
• Seek the delivery of Caltrain Electrification by 2019
• Solidify the plan for delivering DTX
• Expansion of P3s, value capture to replace
Redevelopment mechanism, and pursue other innovative
project delivery approaches, with strong revenue
advocacy for our priorities.
Findings & Recommendations Equity-focused Investments
The draft Plan responds to recent findings of Authority’s equity analysis identifying some
geographic and socio-economic disparities
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
17
Geographic equity support:
• Enhance regional transit system
access – new regional transit access
pilot, e.g. West side to Caltrain,
BART
• Improve reliability, especially in
outer parts of the city – SOGR,
transit enhancement (real time
information displays) and transit
priority network development
• Implement neighborhood
transportation improvements in
every district, e.g. through upcoming
5-year Prop K programs
Findings & Recommendations Equity-focused Investments
The draft Plan responds to recent findings of Authority’s equity analysis identifying some
geographic and socio-economic disparities
S A N F R A N C I S C O C O U N T Y T R A N S P O R T A T I O N A U T H O R I T Y
18
Socio-Economic equity support:
• Pedestrian Safety funding, including SR2S, SR2T, traffic
calming , education, outreach, and enforcement funds
• Bicycle network development and implementation
• Mobility management support for CBOs (e.g. Bayview shuttle-
sharing)
• Bikeshare/carshare initiatives (address affordability)
• Increased planning funds to build neighborhood capacity and
a strong pipeline of projects
Plan Performance
19
Source: SF-CHAMP 4.3 and DPW
• Despite limited new
resources, the Plan
achieves modest
performance in all goal
areas
• However, underfunding
road and transit
maintenance
counteracts SOGR gains
from reduced crowding
• Specific corridors see
more dramatic
performance gains

Making It Happen:
An Implementation Strategy for the SFTP
What’s working? What’s not?
Looking Back – past studies, Prop K and E data, public input
Looking Around – reviewing how transportation is done in other places, what can we learn?
Looking Ahead – continue what works, address areas that need improvement, pilot new approaches

Top concerns we hear from the public
www.sfcta.org/MoveSmartSF | twitter.com/SanFranciscoTA |
www.facebook.com/MoveSmartSF 4
We should be
able to deliver
projects faster
We deserve a
better
transportation
system
We need better
coordination
between
agencies and
with the public
We need to get
the biggest
bang for our
transportation
buck
What we found:
We are working on the right projects (pedestrian, traffic calming) but they are taking too long, and too often are uncoordinated.
Pilots are effective– high demand for more pilots and near-term improvements, but agencies can’t keep up, e.g. traffic calming.
Initial “complete streets” are popular, but expensive e.g. Valencia. The public wants more, but we lack strong policies and processes to prioritize, design and build them cost-effectively.
Looking Back
5 SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
It’s not clear how transportation planning and funding processes work, and outreach is inconsistent, leading to shifting priorities and uneven or inadequate public involvement, with problematic outcomes.
Strategic Initiatives:
Complete Streets and Project Delivery
www.sfcta.org/MoveSmartSF | twitter.com/SanFranciscoTA | www.facebook.com/MoveSmartSF 6
Complete Streets: Provide more benefit with each transportation investment by creating a cost-effective complete streets approach from planning to implementation
Project Delivery: Increase transparency, shorten the timeline for project delivery and increase “bang for the buck”
Complete Streets are wonderful, and in high

Dispersed responsibility for streets is a common feature among cities
Street management
and improvement decisions require strong policy direction, coordination
Including multiple features rapidly increases a project’s cost, with varying implications for cost-effectiveness
SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY 9
Toward more Complete Streets:
Set realistic expectations, improve city practices We recommend program designed to clarify complete streets expectations
by creating a culture and consistent practice of multi-modal design:
Recognize trade-offs, prioritize our efforts: How many
multi-featured projects can/should we deliver per year?
Design Standards – e.g. define standard bulb-out
designs and cost-estimates
Design rules - establish “must,” “should,” “may”
practices) for incorporating complete street elements
Design processes -mainstreaming practice of multi-
modal design, value engineering, alternatives analysis
Funding practices - Set up “joint opportunities” funding
pots to facilitate and incentivize add-ons to a project

SF Project Delivery Assessment
Preliminary Findings
Project identification, prioritization processes and status are not always transparent
Publish multi-agency “Citizen Guide to Transportation Project Development”
Expand monitoring and accountability tools and websites (like MyStreetSF.com)
Political champions and agency leadership needs to be focused on/aid project delivery
Support strong project designs, necessary trade-offs
Set clear expectations for project schedules, organizational culture shifts

SF Project Delivery Assessment
Preliminary Findings
Coordination across and within agencies is a challenge
Multi-departmental leadership is required to make existing organizations more effective; Common tools, e.g. Envista GIS map, can help
Alternatively, re-organizing to focus roles and accountability is an option
Project managers are not empowered, resourced to deliver projects efficiently
Strong PMs, with integrated, co-located project teams are needed
Agencies should be encouraged to use alternative delivery methods, streamlined procurement processes

Looking Ahead - Proposed Early Action
Neighborhood Transportation Improvement Program This Early Delivery demonstration
program is designed to:
► Respond to SFTP equity analysis findings
► Demonstrate new complete streets and project delivery approaches
► Result in on-the-ground improvements within 5 years
If desired by Authority Board, could be approved through Prop K 5-year Program updates this fall.
Would seek to leverage Prop K with other funds

Transportation System Needs Investment
• Today’s system is under-resourced for current and future needs, despite ongoing efficiency improvements
• Tradeoffs have to be made in rights of way priority and demand management tools to meet goals
• The key is to help reduce everyone’s transportation budget, improve overall transportation efficiency and increase our economic competitiveness.

San Francisco Transportation Plan
Vision and Revenue Strategy
May 30, 2013
We need additional transportation revenues to bring our
system to a SOGR and to meet the public’s demand for
improvements, but must use existing revenues more efficiently
to build voter confidence
New/improved approaches to project delivery
Investing in projects that reduce ongoing
operations and maintenance costs (e.g. Transit
Effectiveness Project, staggered fleet replacements
to reduce average age of fleet)
Findings ways to control cost escalation
SFTP Revenue Strategies
Use Existing Revenues More Efficiently
2 SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
Potential New Funding Sources
Key policy considerations
www.sfcta.org/MoveSmartSF | twitter.com/SanFranciscoTA | www.facebook.com/MoveSmartSF 3
The size of SF’s unfunded need is so large, that it demands a multi-pronged
approach:
Use what we have more efficiently
Maximize capture of discretionary revenues and leverage private sector
Identify new sources of revenues
Continued uncertainty at the federal and state levels present opportunities (e.g.
Public-Private Partnerships), but also mean new revenues might need to be local
solutions in the near-term
Still, SF should proactively develop strong regional (e.g. future bridge toll), state
(e.g. cap and trade) and federal (next transportation act) advocacy platforms
Potential New Funding Sources
Local Sources Being Evaluated
Examples include:
Additional ½ cent sales tax (for a total of 1% of
SF local sales tax capacity dedicated to
transportation)
Parcel tax (flat rate or progressive)
Citywide community facilities district (Mello-
Roos)
Local & regional gas taxes
Vehicle license fee
Express lanes on US 101/I-280
General obligation bonds
Regional VMT fee
www.sfcta.org/MoveSmartSF | twitter.com/SanFranciscoTA | www.facebook.com/MoveSmartSF 4
Each revenue source involves tradeoffs
Some sources present challenges from an equity standpoint – each
needs to be comprehensively evaluated
Other public priorities (education, health care, parks, etc.) are also
competing for public funding
Ongoing coordination with Mayor’s Transportation 2030 Task Force
“What If” scenarios let us
imagine what our transportation
system might look like if we
have additional transportation
revenues.
And, it helps to shape revenue
advocacy strategy by:
Increase efficient use of
existing funds
Demonstrating ability to
leverage other sources of
funding (public and private)
Building consensus on our
federal, state, regional “Asks”
What if….we had more revenues?
Revenue Levels for Vision Scenarios
5 SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
$6+ billion more might require a mixture
of big, medium and smaller sources
such as:
• $4.0 B - another half-cent sales tax
• $1.0 B - general obligation bonds
• $0.8 B - additional Federal funds
• $0.5 B - community benefits district
$10 billion more might require all of the
above, plus something like:
• $2.7 B - 1.35% SF vehicle license fee
• $1.0 B - even more Federal funds
• $0.2 B - 0.5% MUNI op’g cost savings
