San Francisco County Transportation Authority
Moving the City

The Authority provides project oversight for many of the city's transportation improvements, and leads studies for future projects identified in the San Francisco Countywide Transportation Plan. The Authority also works with multiple agencies to coordinate efforts on other transportation enhancements citywide.

See Project Oversight and Projects and Studies for details on specific projects.

Regional Transportation Plan

The RTP is a 25-year plan that establishes the Bay Area region’s vision for transportation with supporting policies and investment strategies, including a list of specific projects and programs. On December 26, 2007, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) issued a call for projects for the Transportation 2035 Plan (T2030), the 2009 update to the regional transportation plan (RTP). Inclusion of projects and programs in the RTP is a prerequisite for receiving state and federal transportation grants, as well as a requirement for capacity expanding projects that may have air quality impacts.

As congestion management agency (CMA) for San Francisco, the Authority is responsible for coordinating San Francisco’s project submittals to MTC. The Authority is required to submit its project list to MTC no later than March 5, 2008. The public may submit projects to the Authority by February 19, provided that the project is sponsored by an appropriate public agency, and it is derived from a list of plans and fund programs designated by MTC in its call for projects.

For information on proposing projects for RTP 2035, se the Regional Transportation Plan page.

Countywide Transportation Plan

The San Francisco Countywide Transportation Plan guides the program of Authority-led projects and studies. The CWTP, adopted by the Authority Board in July, 2004, is the blueprint to San Francisco’s transportation system development and investment over the next 30 years. Today the city faces many challenges – increasing traffic chief among them. The decisions that we make today about investing in our transportation system will have a significant effect on helping to maintain San Francisco’s vitality and quality of life well into the future. The Countywide Transportation Plan provides a blueprint to systematically guide our investments in the transportation system, so that we can preserve the city’s uniqueness and improve mobility and accessibility in ways that keep San Francisco vibrant.
