Yesterday we published the SFMTA's first Accessible Transportation Needs Assessment. The assessment celebrates decades of progress ensuring Muni and SF's larger transportation network are inclusive and safe for everyone, especially people with disabilities and older adults. It also, most importantly, identifies what remains to be done. San Francisco residents and visitors can contribute to this exciting work by completing the Needs Assessment Survey. The results of the survey will help us understand which needs to focus on. This way, we can develop goals and actions for improving accessibility in the next five years. Links to the full assessment and survey are in the comments!

Join us Saturday, Sept 28 for the return of L-Taraval trains, running on completely upgraded infrastructure. Working with utility agencies, we've replaced antiquated sewer, water, and overhead power lines. We've made train stops and intersections safer and more accessible. We've added new art, landscape and lighting. And the trains get an entirely new trackway, replacing wooden sleepers laid atop the original sand dunes of the neighborhood. Utility replacement work at this scale created unavoidable disruptions to residents and business owners in the corridor, and we thank them for their patience during the construction period. With train service returning, there's never been a better time to shop and dine in the neighborhood. Come support the Taraval corridor at: Taraval Night Market Beach Party this Saturday https://lnkd.in/gxKFRurz Movies on McCoppin, every Friday in October at 23rd and Taraval And other events sponsored by People of Parkside Sunset https://lnkd.in/gBUrUsC9

Hop on board!
The Muni Boat Tram is back! The open-air historic streetcar from Blackpool, England went into service for the season this weekend, and it’s a joy to ride. We took it down Market Street on Saturday, but its regular route is along the Embarcadero from the Ferry Building to Pier 39. It only runs a couple of days of week, and you can find out more about it in this blog post written by my San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) colleague Madhu Unnikrishnan: https://lnkd.in/gZwJZPqf
