District 10 15 Third Street Bus Study

Third Street is a major thoroughfare connecting Dogpatch, Bayview, and Hunter’s Point neighborhoods to Mission Bay, SoMa, and Downtown San Francisco. Residents and community members in Dogpatch, Bayview, and Hunter’s Point have raised concerns about delays and reliability of T Third light rail service on Third Street. The community has expressed a desire to return bus service to the corridor ahead of signal improvements that will reduce delays when the Central Subway opens. At the request of Transportation Authority Board Member Walton (District 10), the Transportation Authority is leading the District 10 15 Third Street Bus Study to evaluate re-establishing the 15 Third Street Muni bus route. Following the initiation of this project, the SFMTA conducted outreach on potential routes for a Bayview/Hunters Point Express that could be implemented in the near term, including working with a stakeholder working group to develop three route options for review and feedback by the public. Consistent with the findings of this study, a new 15 Third Express bus opened for service in January 2021.
