Honoring the Achievements of African Americans 

Honoring the Achievements of African Americans  By Pamela Johnson Carter G. Woodson (pictured circa 1948) is recognized as the “Father of Black History Month.”  Black History Month, also known as African American History Month, is an annual observance during February in the United States that acknowledges and honors Blacks' contributions to U.S. history. These Blacks are the descendants of enslaved Africans shipped to the Americas via the Atlantic slave trade between the 16th and 19th centuries. During this time, Black people often reflect on their history, obstacles overcome and the challenges and progress still to be made.  From the arts to medicine, education, music, cultural inventions, entrepreneurship, civil rights leaders, noble laureates, etcetera, Blacks have played an influential role in shaping America and are paid tribute to throughout the month.  There are several  SFMTA Black History Month events,  including the  virtual event,  Recognizing and Honoring the late

Bonds, Strikes and Natural Disasters: The Origins of Muni

Bonds, Strikes and Natural Disasters: The Origins of Muni By Jeremy Menzies The first San Francisco Municipal Railway streetcars rolled into service 109 years ago on December 28, 1912. Muni was not the first transit provider in the city, nor the first publicly run railway in the country. However, it was the first to be established in a major US city, giving it widespread recognition. Muni’s immediate success  set an example that many cities across the country would come to follow.  Reflecting on this recently passed anniversary, we took a look at some of the key events that led to the creation of Muni. What we found was a unique political, economic and social climate in San Francisco around the turn of the 20th century, all leading to the establishment of “the people’s railway”..  Monopolies Control Transit  In the late 1800s, San Francisco’s transportation system wasn’t fit for the needs of the booming city. Service was provided by more than a dozen separate companies using a mix

Spring Mass System Executing Simple Harmonic Motion

Simple Harmonic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion is a kind of periodic motion where the object moves to and fro around its mean position. This motion arises when the force acting on the body is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position. The time period, in this case, remains constant. The time period is denoted by “T” and the distance of the mean position from the extreme position is called amplitude, it is denoted by A. An oscillating pendulum is an example of Simple Harmonic Motion. A general equation of SHM is given by, x(t) = Asin(ωt + φ). To Find The Prove Watch the Video Below

Bus Testing on the New Van Ness BRT Corridor a Success

Bus Testing on the New Van Ness BRT Corridor a Success By Nehama Rogozen Muni and Golden Gate Transit staff recently conducted important bus operations testing that is an important step towards the Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor opening this spring. This testing included emergency turns and maneuvers, repositioning buses, verifying signals are working, clearances between passing buses and safe turns while bike racks are deployed.   The training also included several staff. Traffic engineers made sure traffic and transit signals were working and reviewed street markings. Transportation planners coordinated closely with operations, training, engineering and construction staff to make necessary adjustments. Outreach staff and ambassadors answered questions and made sure customers knew testing was taking place. Field managers and operators provided suggestions for improvements based on experience.   Since most Muni operators are new to operating a bus on a BRT corridor, oper
