2004 San Francisco Countywide Transportation Plan

SFCTA Construction


The 2004 Countywide Transportation Plan was approved by the Transportation Authority Board on July 20. View the summary presentation.

Pursuant to state law, as Congestion Management Agency for San Francisco the Authority is responsible for preparing a long-range transportation plan identifying goals, needs and investment priorities. The Authority undertook a multi-year process to develop the 30-year Countywide Transportation Plan (CTWP). The  CWTP was  prepared with guidance from the CWTP Subcommittee of the CAC and Expenditure Plan Advisory Committee (EPAC). The  CWTP reflects the priorities in the Expenditure Plan for the Prop K Local Sales Tax for Transportation and has become the basis for San Francisco's portion of the Regional Transportation Plan. In addition to projects, the  CWTP also identifies opportunities for strategic initiatives and legislative advocacy on a number of transportation policy issues, including funding. We conducted extensive public outreach on the Draft CWTP from April 13 to June 18.

2004 Countywide Transportation Plan Summary

This inaugural Draft Countywide Transportation Plan (CWTP) is the city's blueprint for transportation system development and investment over the next 30 years. Download summaries of the CWTP in English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.

The Draft Countywide Plan will be a living document, updated on a regular basis to identify and address changing needs and regional trends, and align them with available funding. In developing the Plan, the Authority held or participated in over 3 dozen community and neighborhood meetings, and was guided and assisted by two citizens advisory committees and the Authority's Technical Working Group.
