5. Overview of the San Francisco Long Range Transportation Planning Program – INFORMATION
The San Francisco Long Range Transportation Planning Program (LRTPP or Program) is a partnership of San Francisco’s key planning and transportation agencies and the Mayor’s Office, including the Transportation Authority, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), the San Francisco Planning Department, and the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development. The Program is a long range, comprehensive multiagency effort to define the desired and achievable transportation future for San Francisco. The effort will produce a roadmap to arrive at that future, including policies, planning, project development, and funding strategies. The key outputs for the program include a land use and vision document, a major update to the countywide transportation plan (the San Francisco Transportation Plan – SFTP) (following a minor/focused update that is underway), a long-term transit study, a freeway and street traffic management study, and an update to the Transportation Element of the San Francisco General Plan. The Transportation Authority is leading the consultant procurement and last week released a request for proposals for consultant services available on the Transportation Authority’s website, www.sfcta.org. Proposals are due on December 9. We anticipate bringing the contract to the Board for approval in January 2016 and starting the first major round of public outreach in spring 2016. At the November Plans and Programs Committee meeting, agency staff will provide an overview of the Program, its key deliverables and anticipated schedule.
