Behind the Scenes: Making Muni Service Changes

Behind the Scenes: Making Muni Service Changes
By Sean Kennedy

Have you ever wondered what it takes to modify or add Muni service? Customers often ask if we can bring back or make changes to their routes. Making Muni service changes usually takes many steps over several months. In a typical year, the SFMTA conducts three major service changes: in spring, late summer and winter. Each of these requires months of work and many different SFMTA teams to get implemented.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been anything but typical, and we adapted our service change process to quickly prioritize public health guidance, support essential travel and steadily bringing back routes for communities who depend on transit the most. By August 2021, SFMTA staff will have implemented 12 service changes in 18 months --up to five times faster than usual! With each change, we worked to bring back Muni better. The speed and operational dynamics required to deliver a service change process that typically takes months in a matter of weeks has meant temporarily adjusting how we make service changes. This pace has meant a significantly reduced ability to do pre-implementation public outreach.

We’ve launched a web page that explains the process in detail, before and during COVID. There you can learn about the steps involved in each phase of a typical Muni service change, and how COVID-19 Muni Core Service changes have been different.

Non-COVID Service Change Process

Historically, the process for making service changes consists of the following phases and takes about six months or more:

  1. Developing a service change plan
  2. Vetting the service change plan
  3. Legislating the service change plan
  4. Scheduling operator shifts
  5. Union approval of the operator shifts
  6. Operator sign-ups for shifts
  7. Implementation, when the changes go into effect

COVID-19 Muni Core Service Plan Changes

Once the COVID-19 pandemic hit, demands for Muni service and resource constraints changed quickly. The service change process was compressed to speed up the restoration of service, with significant cuts to steps in almost every phase.

Learn more about what changed and how the dedicated SFMTA Transit Planning team have worked to prioritize service restoration.

Looking Ahead

As of January 2021, 100% of neighborhoods identified by SFMTA’s Muni Service Equity Strategy are within two to three blocks of a Muni stop. By August 2021, in time for school to restart, 98% of all San Franciscans will have Muni access within two to three blocks of their home or work.

Geary Transit Lanes Proving Their Worth

Geary Transit Lanes Proving Their Worth
By Amy Fowler

The verdict is in: transit lanes on Geary Boulevard are keeping riders moving apace, despite citywide trends of increasing traffic.

Muni has remained critical for San Franciscans making essential trips throughout the pandemic. The Temporary Emergency Transit Lanes program quickly installed temporary transit lanes on key routes across San Francisco to help preserve the travel time gains we saw during the early days of the pandemic. Since emergency transit lanes were installed in the Richmond neighborhood last winter, we have been able to lock in 50-75% of those travel time savings for 38 Geary customers where transit lanes were added.

Image of Geary Boulevard showing transit lanes from 27th to 35th ave and from 11th Ave to Stanyan

Emergency transit lanes and other transit improvements were installed along segments of Geary Boulevard between 33rd Avenue and Stanyan Street.

Geary is one of the busiest bus corridors in North America. The new transit lanes are building on the success of the Geary Rapid Project, which is making much-needed transit and safety improvements between Market and Stanyan streets and is now close to wrapping up construction --on time and on budget. Combined with the emergency transit lanes in the Richmond, 75% of the Geary corridor now has transit lanes.

The Geary corridor also features new wooden sidewalk extensions at some of the 38R Geary Rapid’s busiest bus stops. These temporary extensions allow buses to stay in the transit lane when picking up and dropping off passengers, making them more accessible and reliable.

After the temporary emergency transit lanes were installed, they were evaluated using several criteria, including recommendations we heard from the community to ensure that the improvements aren’t creating unintended problems. Metrics we looked at included bus travel times, bus crowding and effects on vehicle traffic.

Some of the key takeaways are:

  • Transit lanes have improved 38 Geary bus performance despite increasing traffic. In spring 2021, after transit lanes were installed, 38/38R Geary travel times were up to 4% quicker than in fall 2020 just before the lanes were installed, and up to 13% quicker compared with pre-COVID levels.
  • Minimal traffic impacts to Geary Boulevard or parallel streets. While we did see reduced traffic speeds on Geary Boulevard between fall 2020 (before the lanes were installed) and spring 2021 (after lanes were installed), those reductions were similar to speed changes we observed on control streets 25th Avenue and Arguello Boulevard. Notably, streets parallel to Geary Boulevard experienced even smaller speed reductions, indicating that diversions to other streets have likely been minimal.
  • A majority of people who took our evaluation survey support making the transit lanes permanent. 52% of the over 700 people surveyed supported maintaining the lanes; 15% were neutral or unsure; while 33% were opposed.

Considering the positive evaluation findings and support for maintaining the transit lanes,  we are proposing to make them permanent. The legislation for doing so will be presented to the SFMTA Board of Directors, likely in July 2021.

Learn more about the evaluation results and next steps on the project webpage.

Project staff will also host a “Virtual Office Hours” session on Wednesday, June 30 between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. to answer questions about the evaluation results and next steps.

Revised Geary Boulevard Improvement Project design

The Geary Boulevard Improvement Project (Phase 2 of Geary BRT) had previously envisioned transit lanes in the center of the street between Arguello Boulevard and 28th Avenue. In light of the emergency transit lane evaluation results and other factors, the SFMTA is now pursuing a revised side-running design, which could include additional transit lanes, bus stop modifications and safety improvements. Outreach to seek input on these changes is planned for later this year.

Show HN: I curate HN stories which didn't reach the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27492255

Show HN: I curate HN stories which didn't reach the front page Hi, I'd like to introduce, and ask feedback for, my newsletter Interesting Things [1][2]. It's a response to the notion that many interesting stories posted to HN flies past and are not seen. Maybe they could, and should, be surfaced again somehow. A newsletter seemed like a good way to do it. I experimented by trawling through the 'newest' section of HN. The first few times were mind-numbing. Gosh, there's so much noise in there! . But eventually I became more selective and efficient and it became repeatable. Then I evolved it and added stories from reddit, newsletters that I subscribe to, and some other places. Whilst a portion of the stories are still from HN, it's no longer only from there. The criteria is 'What I find interesting' but, since I'm a typical HN reader, the interest profile ends up being similar. It's mainly tech but with splashes of startups, science, productivity, etc. I omit politics. I also try to omit product/press releases, big corp stuff, and stories that would be covered by the mainstream tech press. There is little overlap with other Hacker-News-based newsletters and digests. This is intentional. They cover the top stories from HN. Mine does not. (Maybe there might be one or two 'tier 1' stories, but the majority are not.) So anyway ... if you'd like to read interesting stuff (whether or not it was unnoticed by HN) please have a look at Interesting Things . I hope you guys like it and find it ... well ... interesting. I'm also looking for criticism, feedback and suggestions for improvement. Some sample questions: Do you like the one-two liner blurbs? Are the blurbs useful? What do you think of the distribution of topics? Are there areas where you'd like to see more (or less) coverage? Please let me know. I'm happy to talk. Thanks for reading!
