Transportation Authority Board Leadership
During the first Transportation Authority Board meeting of 2022, District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman was re-elected as Chair and District 3 Supervisor Aaron Peskin as Vice-Chair.
Chair Mandelman expressed his appreciation to the Board for their support, acknowledging the important work ahead:
“I look forward to another productive year advancing the critical street safety, transit reliability, and sustainable transportation improvements that San Franciscans deserve. All of this will require significant investment, and among my top priorities will be the renewal of our local transportation sales tax and setting San Francisco up to take full advantage of new federal and state infrastructure funds."
It's an honor to be elected my colleagues for a second year as Chair of the County Transportation Authority. As we continue to navigate the pandemic, transportation is essential to our economic recovery, and robust transit service is key to combating the climate crisis. (1) pic.twitter.com/MSerQaFeqG

We supported Vision Zero.
We advanced our work on ConnectSF to build an effective, equitable, and sustainable transportation system for San Francisco’s future. The ConnectSF Transit Strategy and Streets and Freeways investments will help us reach our priorities, goals, and aspirations as a city.
We celebrated the completion of the first phase of the Geary Rapid Project which brought safety improvements and more reliable bus service along Geary Boulevard between Stanyan Street and Market Street.
We released the San Francisco Streets and Freeways Strategy in collaboration with SFMTA and SF Planning, which identifies how San Francisco roadways can best support the city’s Transit-First, Vision Zero, climate action, and equity goals.
We allocated $94.4 million in half-cent sales tax funds to pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and roadway projects citywide.
Our board approved the Great Highway Concepts Evaluation Final Report which explored five concepts for the long-term future of the Great Highway and the Golden Gate Park Stakeholder Working Group and Action Framework Final Report which identified ways to improve travel to, from, and within Golden Gate Park.
Our board approved the District 4 Mobility Study Final Report which explored ways to improve walking, biking, and transit in the Outer Sunset and Parkside neighborhoods.
We celebrated the completion of quick-build projects in the Bayview, which included protected bikeways, crosswalk safety improvements, and murals by local artists along Evans Avenue, Hunters Point Boulevard, and Innes Avenue.
Through outreach and technical work, we prepared to ask voters in November 2022 to continue the existing half-cent transportation sales tax and approve a new 30-year investment plan, also known as the Expenditure Plan.
