The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) is holding a meeting tonight on downtown congestion pricing. Interested community members are encouraged to attend. It remains unclear how a pricing plan would apply to residents within the congestion zone.
Virtual Policy Advisory Committee MeetingÂ
Thursday, June 25
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
See agenda and meeting materials
BackgroundÂ
SFCTA is conducting a study to explore how a fee to drive into downtown/SoMa during busy hours could get traffic moving, increase street safety, clean the air, and make our transportation system more equitable. This is a strategy called congestion pricing. Through early 2021, SFCTA will partner with community members to shape and assess various scenarios for what a downtown congestion pricing program could look like. A final recommendation is expected to be presented to the SFCTA board for consideration in early 2021.
