*** Press Release ***

The Muni Metro East facility ushers in a new era in Muni service delivery by supporting the T Third Line and relieving overcrowding at the SFMTA’s existing light rail facility at Balboa Park (Green Division). In the spirit of San Francisco’s Transit First policy, the MME will be the operating base for the Central Subway when it opens in 2016.

Located near San Francisco’s eastern waterfront and flanking The City’s T Third Line, this 13-acre storage, maintenance and operations facility is an important component of the SFMTA’s Third Street Light Rail Project.
