Congestion increases operating costs
As congestion increases in areas where transit does not have traffic priority measures, transit service becomes slower and more expensive to provide.

Annual Cost
30 $3.9 million45 $5.9 million60 $7.9 million75 $9.9 million
EXAMPLE: Cost to Provide 10‐Minute Bus Frequency, 6 AM – 12 AM, daily
Assumes operating cost of $200/hour per vehicle. Actual costs vary by mode.
Travel time and cost increase together

Muni Bunching and Gaps

Muni Forward produces travel time savings
• Muni Forward projects generally improve travel time by 10% or more
• Over 30 miles implemented to date
• Examples:• Church Street: 15%• 5R Fulton Rapid: 9‐12%• Mission: 13% • 16th Street: 10%• Potrero: 20%• Two‐Way Haight: Over 20%• Sansome: Over 20%
![Page 21: Congestion in San Francisco · · 2020-01-03Presentation Outline 2 Congestion in San Francisco: now and in the future TNCs and Congestion Impacts on Muni Policy Recommendations.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f054e8b7e708231d4125039/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Mission Street Muni Forward
• In 2016, SFMTA added transit only lanes, required right turns, stop consolidation, left turn restrictions, and right turn pockets to improve Muni reliability and safety
• Travel times reduced by up to 2 minutes but riders perceived a 10‐minute savings
• As a result, ridership went up by 4,500 boardings per day in this corridor
![Page 22: Congestion in San Francisco · · 2020-01-03Presentation Outline 2 Congestion in San Francisco: now and in the future TNCs and Congestion Impacts on Muni Policy Recommendations.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f054e8b7e708231d4125039/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Potrero Avenue Muni Forward
• In 2018, SFMTA completed improvements on Potrero Avenue to improve Muni reliability
• Improvements include red lane, boarding islands, signal priority, stop consolidation, plus pedestrian and bike safety upgrades
• These treatments improved travel times by up to 2 minutes
• Along with other improvements, this has led to a 38% increase in ridership on the 9 and 9R
![Page 23: Congestion in San Francisco · · 2020-01-03Presentation Outline 2 Congestion in San Francisco: now and in the future TNCs and Congestion Impacts on Muni Policy Recommendations.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f054e8b7e708231d4125039/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Delay Hot Spots
• Muni Forward covers most but not all delay “hot spots”
• Spot improvements can fill in the gaps
• We are mapping the 10 slowest Muni segments
• Next: develop plan to speed up Muni at each of them, such as turn pockets, queue jumps, signal timing changes, etc.
