SFMTA Rail Capacity Strategy

The Rail Capacity Strategy has been created by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to alleviate existing crowding conditions on the San Francisco rail system, integrate and inform local and regional planning efforts on the city’s investment priorities, and prioritize long term investments for further scope, schedule and budget development. The goals of the strategy are to: (1) Improve reliability of the rail transit system, (2) improve travel time consistency across the network, (3) improve in-vehicle comfort especially during peak-periods, and (4) provide San Francisco residents with high capacity rail access within a half-mile. The SFMTA will use this living document to inform and continue working in partnership with city transportation planning partners; the regional rail network operators; regional, state, and federal agencies; and key stakeholders as part of the city’s investment planning efforts.
