Get Active with Your New Year’s Resolution

Get Active with Your New Year’s Resolution By Benjamin Barnett Do you want to make a change in 2021 that reaps rewards? An easy way to do that is to pick an active travel option for your trips around town. Sticking to a New Year’s resolution can be hard to do, but choosing an active way to get around is one small thing that can make a big difference. “Active mobility” is the industry term that describes how people move around the city using any non-motorized means of physical activity. The best-known examples of active mobility are walking and bicycling, though other modes include running, skateboarding, scooters and roller skates.

New Equity Toolkit Helps SFMTA Improve Access By Mariana Maguire The SFMTA’s Equity Toolkit helps us improve Muni service for San Francisco’s most transit-dependent residents and essential workers. Using data layered with mapping we are able to improve access to jobs and key destinations by identifying and fixing gaps in service. Our Equity Toolkit helps us serve San Franciscans better.

New Muni Route to Serve Bayview and Hunters Point Neighborhoods

New Muni Route to Serve Bayview and Hunters Point Neighborhoods By Enrique Aguilar Starting in early 2021, Muni’s new  15 Bayview Hunters Point Express  line will improve Downtown access, reduce commute times and add transit capacity for residents of the Bayview and Hunters Point neighborhoods. This community-designed route connects the hilly communities east of Third Street to Downtown and was chosen by residents who voted in a fall 2020 survey. The process and the route demonstrates our commitment to working with communities to provide equitable Muni service.  Launching the new route coincides with the gradual  return of Muni Metro rail service . Returning to rail frees up enough buses to run new service, like the 15 Bayview Hunters Point Express and  new 27 Bryant route , and improve frequency on other key routes. Service on the 15 will run every 10 minutes from approximately 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on weekends.  Map of new 15 Bayview Hunter
