Senator Barbara Boxer sent out a message to San Franciscans yesterday in which she talks about San Francisco Muni and the new Phelan Loop bus facility to be constructed by the main campus of City College of San Francisco (CCSF).
Here's the letter:
Last week the U.S. Department of Transportation announced new investments in California mass transit that will create jobs, reduce commute times, and improve air quality.
DOT will provide nearly $19 million for four California regional bus services, including more than $6.8 million for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Phelan Loop Bus Facility Project.
Building the Phelan Loop Bus Facility paves the way for landscaped open space, new retail space, and new affordable housing – all next to public transportation and within walking distance of both a major transit hub and San Francisco City College.
The upgraded transit infrastructure will be a key component of a Muni transit system that is expected to grow from today’s 700,000 weekday boardings to more than a million weekday boardings by 2030.
I am so pleased that the Department of Transportation has funded this vital project. This investment will create jobs in construction, transit, and nearby retail; reduce commute times for both buses and private automobiles; and improve air quality by helping get more people out of their cars and onto an improved transit system.
