Introduction
The San Francisco Transportation Plan is the citywide, long-range investment and policy blueprint for San Francisco’s transportation system. The plan considers every transit system (BART, Muni, Caltrain, regional bus, ferry) and roadway facility in San Francisco (streets, freeways) and evaluates their performance for all travelers (transit, biking, walking, driving) in an integrated fashion, every 4 years.
2021 San Francisco Transportation Plan
The 2021 plan will establish the city’s transportation priorities for about $100 billion in investments and positions San Francisco for regional, state, and federal funding through 2050. The plan will analyze all transportation modes, operators and networks, to achieve the city’s transportation goals and ConnectSF vision. Coinciding with the San Francisco Transportation Plan process, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is conducting its regional plan known as Plan Bay Area 2050. The projects prioritized in the San Francisco Transportation Plan will inform Plan Bay Area. The Transportation Authority will adopt the San Francisco Transportation Plan concurrently with the adoption of Plan Bay Area in 2021.
The San Francisco Transportation Plan Development Process
The Transportation Authority Board, comprised of the 11 members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, adopts the San Francisco Transportation Plan approximately every four years. The 2021 plan is also one of the components of ConnectSF, a multi-agency partnership to build an effective, equitable and sustainable transportation system for our future. This means that staff from SF Planning and SFMTA are working together with Transportation Authority staff on the 2021 plan.

2017 San Francisco Transportation Plan Update
The 2017 minor update builds off the plan passed in 2013. The 2017 update:
- Reaffirms the 2013 plan’s goals, investment, and supporting policy recommendations
- Includes a progress report on projects, policies, and planning studies
- Revises transportation funding revenue forecasts, updates project costs and reassesses projects previously identified for funding
- Includes an overview of existing and future conditions – such as population and employment growth, traffic congestion, and affordability trends that impact San Francisco’s transportation system, and
- Identifies new planning efforts and policy papers that are underway or anticipated to begin soon that will focus on key issues facing San Francisco.
These analyses guided advocacy in the update to Plan Bay Area 2040, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s federally and state-mandated, regional planning effort.
