The SFMTA Board of Directors provides policy oversight for the safe and efficient transportation of goods and service in San Francisco. This includes the San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni), automobiles and trucks, taxis, bicycling and walking. The SFMTA Board of Directors also serves as members of the San Francisco Parking Authority.

Our board of directors meetings are usually held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The agenda for Tuesday's meeting includes presentation and discussions regarding the progress on the Central Subway Project, Small Business Impact Mitigation Fund and the development of a regional transportation funding measure called FASTER Bay Area.

Islais Creek/Bayview Community Meeting

Thursday, September 19, 6 p.m.
Southeast Community Facility
Nearby Muni Routes: 8, 9, 23, 24, T-Third

San Francisco‘s shoreline will experience more frequent and severe flooding in the future. The southeastern stretch of the waterfront, including Islais Creek and the Bayview, faces unique challenges which require solutions responsive to the needs and priorities of people living and working in these areas. To address these flood risks, along with seismic vulnerabilities, the Port is leading the Waterfront Resilience Program. Learn more at sfportresilience.com

Join the Port of San Francisco, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, San Francisco Planning, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and other City partners, at an upcoming community meeting to learn more about the coordinated resilience projects in the Islais Creek/Bayview neighborhood and help shape the shoreline’s future with your ideas and priorities.

Public input is needed to ensure that community assets are properly identified and protected and that efforts to protect the waterfront reflect the priorities of the community and a shared vision for the future.

Please RSVP if you plan on attending. 

Mobility Permit Harmonization – A Community Forum

Wednesday, September 25, 6 p.m.
One South Van Ness
Nearby Muni Routes: 5, 6, 7, 9, 21 and Van Ness Station

Over the past several years, a variety of new mobility services; such as electric scooters and mopeds, bike share and ride-hailing; have been introduced to our city streets. 

We have an obligation to ensure that new mobility services are safe and appropriate to operate in San Francisco. To achieve this, the SFMTA is developing a plan to require that all new mobility service operators that are under its jurisdiction obtain permission before launching service. 

While we can’t predict future innovations, we are trying to be proactive by setting clear rules about how these mobility services can operate in our city. We are calling this effort “Mobility Permit Harmonization” and it is designed to unify and streamline the city’s range of mobility permit programs. 

Please join us for a community forum to help us establish the guidelines for how future transportation device services can operate in San Francisco.

Our Meeting Round-Up feature highlights different SFMTA public meetings that will be held within the coming two weeks. These meetings give you the chance to share your ideas and provide us with helpful feedback. Join us at our next meeting to learn more about SF's changing and complex transportation system.

Those listed above are just a few highlights. You can find a full list of upcoming meetings to keep up to date on your favorite SFMTA committees.
