The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is the sub-regional transportation planning and programming agency for San Francisco County. Originally created to administer the proceeds of Prop B, the first local sales tax for transportation, approved by the voters in 1989, the Authority has since been called upon to take on a number of additional roles and responsibilities mandated by state law and summarized by in the table below/above. These new roles complement the agency's original purpose and contribute to its increased effectiveness. On April 1, 2004, the Authority became the administrator of the Prop K sales tax for transportation, which superseded the original tax upon the voters approval of Prop K in November 2003. Pursuant to state law, the Authority is a separate legal entity from the City and County of San Francisco, with its own staff, budget, operating rules, policies, board and committee structure. The Authority's borrowing capacity is separate and distinct from that of the City and County of San Francisco. The Authority has also served as the San Francisco Program Manager for grants from the Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) since 1990. In this role, the Authority approves funding for transportation projects that directly benefit air quality, through reduced motor vehicle emissions. The Authority Board consists of the eleven members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, who act as Authority Commissioners. Commissioner David Campos is Chair of the Authority Board. Commissioner Scott Wiener is Vice Chair. The Authority Board has three standing committees and one special-purpose select committee.
