2010 SAN FRANCISCO TRANSPORTATION PLAN LAUNCHED!

The San Francisco Transportation Plan is the City's blueprint for transportation system development and investment over the next 25 years. The first plan was adopted by the Authority Board in July 2004, and established the City's investment strategy and policy initiatives for the sector through a technical and community-based planning process. Today the city faces many challenges—how best to grow 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 SFTP update will guide our city's investment strategy, and input into key regional and statewide planning efforts, so that we can preserve the city's livability, and improve mobility and accessibility in ways that keep San Francisco vibrant.

PROPOSITION AA | VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE

On July 20, 2010 the Authority Board approved Resolution 11-10 (PDF) which authorized the Final Expenditure Plan (PDF) for a new $10 Vehicle Registration Fee and placed the measure on the November 2010 ballot. In early August, the San Francisco Department of Elections designated the measure as Proposition AA. If approved by the voters, the Proposition AA Vehicle Registration Fee would use the revenues collected from an additional $10 on motor vehicles registered in the City and County of San Francisco for local road repairs, pedestrian safety improvements, and transit reliability improvements throughout the City.
