Coordination and Partnerships • America’s Cup People Plan → Waterfront Transportation Assessment • Jefferson Street Phase 1 Project • Coordinated street management (Port, SFMTA, PUC, SF Public Works) • Ballpark Transportation Coordinating Committee • Embarcadero Enhancement Project & Vision Zero
Transportation Policies to Consider • Embarcadero Enhancement Project & Vision Zero • West side of The Embarcadero public realm • Transportation Demand Management in major development project planning • Port Seawall seismic project: protect BART/Muni subways and The Embarcadero • Continued transportation coordination (SFMTA, SFCTA, OEWD, Planning Department) • Continued partnerships to expand public ferry and water-taxi berthing and operations

A few bits of analysis from the Waterfront Transportation Assessment
Major travel corridors leaving waterfront during afternoon peak hour Fifty percent increase in person trips from Waterfront anticipated by 2040 33
Existing and forecast trips leaving the waterfront 34 Study Area “Trips of Interest” (Outbound/Internal) by Mode by Corridor, 2012, and Growth to 2040, pm peak period (3-hours) Peak Hour Study Area Trips East Bay Regional Destined for Local vs. Regional Destinations (2040) South Bay North Bay Downtown + Study Area Regional Southeast SF Within SF 41% 59% Southwest SF Within SF Mission/Potrero Northern SF Within SF Regional Richmond All Others - 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 Auto Transit Walk/Bike Growth in Trips by 2040 Source: SF-CHAMP, 4.3 34

Areas of possible focus for Waterfront Land Use Plan transportation policies Potential Alignment with Port is Stakeholder In Waterfront Land Use Plan • Vision Zero policy • ConnectSF • Transportation Demand • Core Capacity Transit Study • Managed Lanes Implementation Management strategies for Port controlled land Plan • Embarcadero Enhancement • Plan Bay Area • Railyard Alternatives and I-280 Project Boulevard Feasibility Study • Freeway Corridor Management Study • Southern Bayfront Strategy Discussed in tonight’s presentation More information in handout
Vision Zero SF Our Goal: zero traffic deaths in San Francisco It’s a citywide effort. Are you in?
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT ENCOURAGING SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Negotiated TDM plans Robust TDM Plans Examples: • Transit subsidies • Carshare/bikeshare Memberships • Family amenities: storage for carts, carseats & strollers, cargo bikes • Information and marketing • Parking supply and parking management • Auto mode share or trip cap & compliance monitoring
