San Francisco County Transportation Authority
Moving the City

Transportation planners in San Francisco are exploring the feasibility of charging motorists a user fee as a way to manage congestion, a concept known as congestion pricing, following receipt of a $1 million study grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).  The Authority applied for the grant funds from the FHWA Value Pricing Program at the request of Jake McGoldrick, District 1 Supervisor and Chair of the Transportation Authority.

The Mobility, Access and Pricing Study (MAPS) is developing and analyzing comprehensive packages that combine pricing for mobility with transit improvements, traffic flow enhancements, and other projects, to offer more sustainable choices to those traveling to and within San Francisco.

Winter Workshops

In December 2008, the Study team hosted two public meetings in San Francisco and an online meeting to compare congestion pricing program scenarios and discuss evaluation results.  Download the workshop presentation. 

If you missed the workshops or would like more information, please contact the Study Team to arrange a meeting or presentation with your organization, workplace or school association.  Or visit our Outreach Section for a list of upcoming meetings, and other ways to get involved.
