30 Stockton Transit Priority Project Share this: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn SFMTA.com/30TPP Project Introduction The 30 Stockton is one of Muni’s busiest routes, serving about 28,000 customers every day. As part of Muni Forward, SFMTA is proposing transit priority and pedestrian safety improvements along the route that will make it safer to walk, increase the frequency and reliability of service, and enhance the customer experience—on and off the bus. Project segments on the route include Columbus, Stockton, North Point, Van Ness and Chestnut.

AM peak dedicated transit lanes allow buses to bypass traffic during the morning peak, reducing delay and making for a smoother ride. Wider sidewalks that “bulb” out at bus stops allow buses to board passengers without having to pull out and then back into congested traffic. They also provide space for shelters, signage, and other amenities. Removing stops along the route to ensure that buses are stopping every few blocks, instead of at every single block. San Francisco’s Vision Zero policy seeks to eliminate all traffic-related fatalities by 2024. Muni Forward will play a big part in this effort by enhancing pedestrian safety at intersections with engineering measures like sidewalk bulbouts, which increase the visibility of people walking and shorten crossing distances.
