Yes public transportation is in disarray. As Supervisor, I would build on the work of the current and previous progressive Supervisors on transportation issues. I would work closely with Supervisor David Campos to pass his Charter Amendment for comprehensive MUNI reform. I would continue Supervisor Daly's advocacy for a car-free Market Street and implementation of the Transportation Authority's congestion pricing study for downtown San Francisco. I would add support to Supervisor Mirkarimi's proposal to increase the parking tax or some other commuter tax. I support smart transportation projects like both of MUNI's bus rapid transit proposals and the Transbay Transit Center. While I like the idea of a free MUNI, I realize that we would have to find significant ongoing revenue to support such a proposal. I support implementation and expansion of the City's bike plan and also have been very involved in issues of pedestrian safety and improving our streetscapes for transit modes that are not private automobiles.
