As the Bay Area grapples with the imminent need for more transit funding, agencies are discussing strategies, including regional measures and local initiatives to bridge the gap and maintain service for riders.

The Bay Skyway is designed to create a 7.5-mile corridor connecting downtown San Francisco, downtown Oakland, West Oakland, Yerba Buena Island, and Treasure Island. The project will create a safe and seamless alternative route for cyclists, pedestrians, and transit riders that will bypass the Bay Bridge corridor.

SF Public Works completed pedestrian safety improvements in District 6 in February, including two sidewalk extensions, four new curb ramps at Jones Street and Ellis Street, and a raised crosswalk at 8th Street and Minna Street. The Transportation Authority supported with $700,000 in Prop AA vehicle registration fee funds.

The project will improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety at the Ocean Avenue Off-Ramp intersection by realigning the free-flow right turn off-ramp into a T-intersection and install a traffic signal.

This study aims to convene a working group to identify low- and zero-emission delivery approaches in the broader downtown area.

The Transportation Fund for Clean Air supports bicycle, pedestrian and other transportation projects that help clean the air by reducing motor vehicle emissions.

This project will analyze connectivity between a new public school site in the Mission Bay neighborhood, the existing low-stress active transportation network, and existing and planned transit. The project will then design infrastructure improvements to mitigate key barriers to active transportation. The project will also coordinate expected transportation programs and improvements from projects in the area to ensure school access is supported.

The Vision Zero Freeway Ramps Study will identify improvements for 11 freeway ramps across District 7, District 9, District 10, and District 11 to improve safety and connectivity.
