Reducing Crowding and Providing Service to Open Spaces

Reducing Crowding and Providing Service to Open Spaces
By Enrique Aguilar

The 30 Stockton bus route extension to Crissy Field in the Presidio began service on September 19. In partnership with the Presidio Trust, Muni implemented this new lifeline connection to bring workers, families, residents and visitors from Chinatown, Tenderloin and SoMa neighborhoods to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area via public transportation.

Shifting from 40-foot to 60-foot buses on the 30 Stockton helps reduce crowded conditions through neighborhoods like Chinatown, a neighborhood that generates some of the highest rates of trips in San Francisco. Moving the terminal to its new location in Crissy Field provides increased space for these longer buses.

Direct access to parks via public transportation is vital for neighborhoods with the least access to open space in San Francisco. Visitors to the Presidio enjoy nature within the city, including miles of walking and biking trails, beaches, scenic overlooks with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, the bay and the city, as well as picnic and play areas. The 30 Stockton extension not only benefits park-goers, but serves as a lifeline for essential workers who work or live in the Presidio or nearby neighborhoods.

The 30 Stockton route extends into the Presidio between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily. All other times, the 30 Stockton terminal is on Divisadero at Chestnut.
We have added three stops in each direction within the Presidio:

We Need Your Input

We Need Your Input By Jonathan Streeter People are at the heart of everything we do and we want your input as we develop our Operating and Capital Budgets for Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022. Every other year, San Francisco’s many agencies and departments must adopt a budget covering the coming two fiscal years by the end of April. The SFMTA is undertaking extensive public outreach on our budget process and our Board of Directors will review the proposed budget at two upcoming public hearings, and is expected to vote on a budget action at its April 21st meeting. The budget is the plan for how the SFMTA collects and spends revenue to operate its divisions – including Muni, Sustainable Streets (street infrastructure and traffic management), Parking and Taxi & Accessible Services. The budget is divided into two main sections: Operating (ongoing costs like staff and maintenance) and Capital (one-time spending on projects like street improvements and new vehicles). Ther...
