In this week’s Director’s Report from the SFMTA Board of Directors meeting, Jeffrey Tumlin gave updates on the following topics:
Vision Zero
- Two rapid responses were made in February, both involved fatalities and are still under investigation by the San Francisco Police Department. As a result, we will be adding daylighting on the south side of O’Farrell approaching Polk.
- Digital advertising will connect with Chinese-speaking drivers through their devices (cell phones, laptops), drivers using TNC apps like Uber and Lyft, and Drivers who use WeChat (a popular Chinese messaging app.
- Chinese newspaper ads in World Journal and Sing Tao for two consecutive Fridays.
- As of February 2020, we have 2,609 transit operators on-premise.
- Last year (2019) we hired 308 transit operators.
- Eight more classes are scheduled for 2020. One day full class in February already this year with 42 trainees. The 2020 transit operator hiring goal is 396.
- 75 new agency hires (non-transit operator) during January and February.
- This weekend (March 8) Sunday Streets kicks off a season of open streets with the first event in the Mission from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. From Duboce Avenue to 26th, Valencia Street transforms into a car-free community space with over a mile of live music, interactive art projects and fun activities.
- The magic is made possible by the entire Sunday Streets community, including 400+ volunteers, hundreds of local nonprofits and small businesses. It’s organized by the nonprofit Livable City and presented in partnership with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the SFMTA.
- Muni operators are dedicated professionals who play an important role in our city helping all of us get where we need to go safely – day in and day out.
- They operate our unique fleet of vehicles on challenging terrain and in unpredictable city traffic at nearly all times of the day in nearly all-weather conditions.
- We honor this group March 18 with Transit Driver Appreciation Day, selected as the annual day of distinction because it is the day horse-drawn vehicles (the very first buses) are believed to have debuted in Paris in 1662.
