View the latest updates here: Project Factsheets and FAQs (English and Spanish) Presentation Boards Project Introduction The Potrero Yard Modernization Project will replace an obsolete, century-old bus yard with a modern, three-story, efficient bus maintenance and storage facility, equipped to serve the SFMTA’s growing fleet as it transitions to battery electric buses. A modern Potrero Yard will address critical transportation issues and improve: Efficiency: Repair buses faster, improving Muni’s reliability Sustainability: Provide the green infrastructure needed for an all-electric fleet Future Growth: Accommodate fleet as it grows – room for 54% more buses at the yard Work Conditions: Improve environments, amenities and safety conditions for 800+ SFMTA staff Learn more about the need to replace this 100+ year-old bus yard. Public tours of Potrero Yard are usually offered monthly.  Check here for tour avalabilty: Potrero Yard public tour information (You can also take a virtual tour of the yard.) Project Design On November 21, 2022, the SFMTA awarded the project’s predevelopment agreement to Potrero Neighborhood Collective (PNC) as lead developer. PNC will work together with the City, community and project stakeholders to further refine the Project design during the pre-development phase. The PNC design includes a modern, three-story bus storage and maintenance transit facility, over 500 units of affordable housing for those with low or moderate incomes, and multiple opportunities for commercial retail and concessions. The project would be the nation’s first known joint development of a bus maintenance facility with housing constructed adjacent to and above– a groundbreaking approach that prioritizes a safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation system while also supporting the City’s housing goals. A conceptual rendering of Potrero Yard from the intersection of Bryant and Mariposa streets (Arcadis IBI Group) The ambitious housing affordability goals are reliant on competitive City and non-City funding sources. Some of these state financing sources are highly competitive because funds are spread across the entire state, and there are many projects seeking financing every year. S hould the project not secure these sources on a schedule that can accommodate the construction of the bus facility, the housing program may need to be amended. The project is designed to support San Francisco’s sustainability, housing, and safety priorities as a Transit-First City. The project encourages public transit, bicycling and walking as sustainable alternatives to driving. Resident and public parking are not provided on-site. Up to 513 affordable housing units that include a mix of studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units New public restrooms conveniently located near Franklin Square Park Improved pedestrian and bike infrastructure for enhanced safety and comfort An economic inclusion plan that prioritizes Local Business Enterprise (LBE) inclusion and local hire Onsite amenities such as family childcare centers, laundry facilities, and community rooms View additional information about SFMTA project planning and concepts , prior to the selection of Potrero Neighborhood Collective.
