We want to hear from you! Take the survey
Weigh in on whether you feel the draft proposals advance the Study's goals and objectives. You can choose which of the 11 ramps you would like to provide input on. The survey is anticipated to take about five minutes per ramp.

Overview
In 2014, San Francisco became a Vision Zero City, vowing to eliminate all traffic-related deaths through education, enforcement, and road infrastructure redesign.
The Vision Zero SF Action Strategy outlines the initiatives and actions the City will take to advance the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities. Vision Zero SF uses data-driven strategies that focus on creating safer streets, educating the public, enforcing traffic laws, and advancing transformative policies that save lives. Learn more about Vision Zero.
San Francisco’s 2022 Streets and Freeways Strategy identified freeway ramp locations in the south and southeast parts of the city that have a history of collisions and are on or near the Vision Zero High Injury Network and Equity Priority Communities.
The Vision Zero Freeway Ramp Study builds on the SoMa Freeway Ramp Intersection Safety Studies, which designed safety improvements for freeway ramp touchdowns in the South of Market neighborhood, by looking at additional ramps in San Francisco. The Vision Zero Freeway Ramps Study will identify improvements for 11 freeway ramps across District 7, District 9, District 10, and District 11 to improve safety and connectivity.

Round 2 - Draft Proposals (Ongoing)
We will share draft proposals for safety improvements at the 11 ramps during our second round of public outreach, which will run from late October to mid-December. Your feedback is important to inform the revision and finalization of the proposals.
Here are ways you can get involved:
- Take our survey: Weigh in on whether you feel the draft proposals advance the Study's goals and objectives. You can choose which of the 11 ramps you would like to provide input on. The survey is anticipated to take about five minutes per ramp.
- Attend a community event
- Glen Park/Outer Mission: Come by our table at the Ocean Avenue Community Connections Block Party on November 14th (10 am - 12 pm) to provide your thoughts on the draft proposals.
- Note: Please email vzramps@sfcta.org at least three business days before an event if you would like to request interpretation services in Spanish, Chinese, or Filipino.
- Request a presentation: We are presenting the draft proposals for local ramps at various community group meetings. If your organization would like a meeting, please reach out to our team at vzramps@sfcta.org.

Round 1
The first round of outreach took place in spring 2025 and was designed to identify transportation challenges and community priorities for improvements at the 11 ramp locations. Touchpoints included a multilingual survey, direct outreach to community groups, and a community event in each ramp cluster.
