SFMTA

Lots of important transit milestones going into the Memorial Day weekend. Three important items are listed below:

Walk San Francisco is asking people to sign a petition to urge the city to install a raised intersection at Page Street and Buchanan.

Bike safety advocate Devon Warner just replaced Kate Slattery's ghost bike, at the corner of 7th and Howard, for the third time.

During its regular meeting yesterday, the SFMTA board of directors voted unanimously to start a pilot program to issue permits for electric dockless scooter rentals in the city of San Francisco.

The San Francisco Transit Riders (SFTR) released the results of its "Ride the Vote" survey yesterday. It reveals the stated positions of the mayoral candidates and District 8 candidates on local and regional transit issues.

Imagine if the Bay Area's 27 transit agencies took the same tickets, billed passengers by the same rate for distance traveled, and all the rail, bus, and ferry systems operated under a single brand as far as the rider was concerned.

Walk San Francisco, in response to a number of complaints from its members about scooters on the sidewalks, is demanding that Bird, Lime, and Spin--purveyors of app-based electric scooter rentals--take action. Walk SF has also created a Facebook photo album for people to post images of Scooters creating a hazard.

Ubers in the bike lanes, sub-standard bike infra, hit-and-runs, broken pavement--but SFMTA cracks down on scooter rentals
