Moving the City

SFTP "Spotlight" Series

A number of transportation improvements have been implemented in San Francisco since the last Countywide Transportation Plan. The Authority is shining a spotlight on some of these projects, looking at how they have affected lives of the residents and employees of San Francisco. We'll be posting new project profiles every few weeks on this page for the duration of the San Francisco Transportation Plan project. Visit the site periodically to see how transportation improvements are affecting the way San Franciscans live, work, and play.
