How to Get Paid by the SFMTA / Submitting Invoices

Where do I send invoices?

Send invoices to invoices@SFMTA.com

The SFMTA utilizes automated software to process PDF documents attached to emails sent to this address. To make this system work, we need your help to submit all your invoices electronically as email attachments, following the procedures outlined below:

  • Submit invoices only to invoices@SFMTA.com
  • Submit invoices as a PDF attachment to the cover email
  • Submit only one invoice per PDF. Our system assumes one attachment equals one invoice
  • Submit Supporting Documents for each invoice in the same PDF file
  • Invoice must have a unique invoice number
  • Invoice must have a valid Purchase Order Number

Please do not send to invoices@sfmta.com: Statements, copies of purchase orders, promotional messages, or email expecting a response. Please send statements, purchase orders, and other correspondence to: Accounts.Payable@SFMTA.com.

How do I check payment status?

Send an email to Accounts.Payable@SFMTA.com

Suppliers may email questions about invoices, documents, and any other matters.

This account is staff-monitored, with a response time of 48 hours (business days only). Please don't send to both email accounts; or to other extraneous people at SFMTA.
