PHASE 1: Oct 2012 Jun 2013* *Dates are approximate and subject to change Develop & Clarify Projects, Programs Prioritize planned transportation improvements Introduce new vetted solutions from input process Set up as potential mitigation measures for projects environmental assessments Estimate projects schedules and costs 10
Potential Regional Transit Improvements BART metro core service Embarcadero capacity projects Caltrain Electrification Downtown extension to Transbay Regional Buses Allow local service for key lines on SF streets Ferry Ferry Terminal expansion Event-level service increases 11
Potential Local Transit Improvements 22 Fillmore Line interim, motor coach extension to Mission Bay 20 th St Transit Hub Future Expansion of Mission Bay Loop to 20 th Street Future Expansion of 58 24 th Street Line into Pier 70 Possible Future service enhancements to 33 Stanyan Line based on performance measures around future development Southern Terminal Loop for E Embarcadero Line Key Infrastructure Improvements on Embarcadero Light Rail Right-of-Way Signal Improvements / Transit Priority Passing Tracks 12
Potential Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvements Embarcadero Separated & Protected Bike Way Blue Greenway Completion of Planned Parks with Bike and Pededstrian paths included Bike Share Expansion beyond current planned Pilot Area Sponsorship of Bikes and/or Stations by Project Sponsors 13
Parking Strategy Use Existing Parking Supply to its Fullest Capacity Size new Parking Facilities to Support a Balanced Mode Share Facilitate Coordination between Project Sponsors and Private Garage Operators SFMTA may Smartly Operate Mission Rock Garage 14
KEY Transportation Demand Management Strategies Establish use of sustainable modes by: Incentivizing Transit Use: Residents, Ticketholders, Employees Promoting & Accommodating Sustainable Choices: Taxis, Bicycles, etc. Managing Parking Smartly: Unbundling, Pricing, Joint-Use Providing Information: In advance of move-in, Real-time, etc. On-Site Transportation Brokerage and Information Services 15
Taxis, Accessible Services & Loading/Deliveries Manage design to avoid conflicts Ensure efficient operations Pilot innovative services and facilities 16
