Put Transit First

When cars virtually disappeared from our streets during the shelter-in-place, we saw just how much quicker public transit can be when there’s no traffic: 15% time savings systemwide, up to 50% along some corridors. Notably, bus routes with red lanes didn’t change much, meaning transit-only lanes work.

Sign below to tell Mayor Breed, the Board of Supervisors, and the SFMTA: We support a dramatic expansion of pilot transit-only lanes.

We need to continue to protect Muni from traffic now, before riders are stranded by punishing traffic congestion again. 
With transit-only lanes:

• Essential workers and people who depend on Muni can have quicker trips, protecting them from exposure to COVID-19.
• Reliable service that is crucial for San Francisco's economic recovery and a better future.
• Buses can complete their routes faster, and do more runs in a shift. This means more service at the same cost.

We need transit-only lane pilot projects as soon as possible across the city, to provide reliable, efficient service for all riders, to help reduce crowding, and to maximize Muni's resources. We urge robust rider engagement as the pilot projects are underway to develop the best transit priority network possible.
