Almost 100% of San Franciscans have access to Muni service within two or three blocks of their home or work.

The results of the 2022 Muni Rider Survey indicate that our continuing efforts to deliver fast, reliable and frequent service are benefiting riders and they appreciate it. Over half of respondents, 66%, rate Muni service as “good” or “excellent” – a 9% increase from 2021 and the strongest increase since 2018.

Since 2021, riders’ ratings of individual attributes of Muni have generally increased or stayed the same: The greatest increases were:

Trips take a reasonable amount of time (65% in 2022 vs. 57% in 2021)
Frequency of service (51% in 2022 vs. 45% in 2021)
Reliability/On-time performance (47% in 2022 vs. 42% in 2021).

We expect that some of these improvements have to do with the fact that since the last survey in 2021, we restored the Muni network so that almost 100% of San Franciscans have access to Muni service within two or three blocks of their home or work. Between July 2021 and June 2022 alone, we restored 20 Muni lines and extended 8 others.

Our ongoing investments in reliability improvements such as transit lanes, bus bulbs and smart traffic signals have also paid off. During the pandemic, we implemented over 21 miles of new transit lanes, bringing our transit lane network to more than 70 miles! With this expansion, Muni is quicker and more reliable than is has been in decades. For example: 

14/14R Mission downtown travel times are up to 31% quicker 
38 Geary travel times are up to 20% quicker

49 Van Ness/Mission travel times are up to 35% quicker, and with the completion of the Van Ness BRT, ridership was up 13% and continues to see growth
The Temporary Emergency Transit Lane program improved reliability on lines serving 40% of all Muni riders.

We also reduced major delays on the Muni Metro by 81% since the Metro reopened in May 2021 through a new subway maintenance initiative called Fix It! Week.

Improvements to the customer experience can be seen through the ongoing implementation of our new Next Generation Customer Information System. The new system-wide Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) signs displaying real-time information at all transit shelters offer:

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant text-to-speech capability 
Larger and clearer text 
Ability to offer enhanced multilingual and accessible content to promote inclusivity 
Increased real-time communication for arrival predictions and occupancy levels

Low-income riders continue to rate Muni service higher than prior to the pandemic indicating our data-driven equity delivery continues to be aligned with public needs:

Riders in the < $25,000 income category rate Muni service as “excellent/good:” 73% up 10% vs. 2021.
Riders in the $25,000-$50,000 income category rate Muni service as “excellent/good:” 80% up 6% vs. 2021.

In 2022, nearly two-thirds (64%) of riders said they rode Muni at least once a week. This has increased since 2021 when just over half (52%) said they rode once a week but remains lower than 2019 when nearly three-quarters (72%) of riders rode at least once a week.

81% rate Muni’s accessibility for people with disabilities as “excellent” or “good” – an increase of 2% from 2021 – which continues to be Muni’s best rated attribute by respondents.

Nearly three-quarters (73%) of riders rated transit operator helpfulness as “excellent” or “good” – up 3% since the last survey; our front-line operators continue to be our most valuable employees for their ongoing service delivery.

How We Gather Results
The 2022 survey project used a hybrid approach, blending both telephone interviews and online surveys to collect feedback from adult San Francisco residents. A total of 533 interviews were conducted during the period of August 4 to October 23, 2022. This survey was established to track the level of satisfaction that Muni riders have with our service. This tool allows us to track our progress and measure the impacts of changes that have been implemented to improve service.

New top story from Time: Report: Homicides Continue to Slowly Rise in the U.S., While Other Violent Crimes Declines

https://ift.tt/3yp5v05 A new report from the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) presents data showing that murders have risen 16% in many major American cities over the first 6 months of 2021, as part of what is being widely viewed as a new wave of crime and violence across the U.S. But according to the report, when compared to the same time period last year, the pace of the increase in murders has slowed down from the first quarter of 2021 through the second: In the first quarter of 2021, homicides rose by 23% compared to last year. In the second quarter, they rose by just 10%. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] By the numbers , these Q1/Q2 percentile rises represent 47 murders reported in Portland, Ore. in the first half of 2021 (versus 11 in the equivalent period of 2020), Houston with 228 murders (versus 173 in 2020) and Buffalo, N.Y. with 46 (versus 31 in 2020). But cities like St. Louis saw drops from 156 murders in the first half of 2020 to 108 so far this year, and Bos...

New top story from Time: Want Unity For Real? Then America Needs to Get Back to Facts

https://ift.tt/3pZWgj1 Philadelphia had never seen such a spectacle. On Friday, July 4, 1788—a dozen years since the Declaration of Independence—the city celebrated the narrow ratification of the Constitution with parades, fireworks, and speeches. The patriot-physician Benjamin Rush appreciatively noted the “pleasant and cooling breeze” and took satisfaction in the evidence of unity after the divisive debates to replace the Articles of Confederation with a more coherent and lasting form of government. “The Rabbi of the Jews, locked in the arms of two ministers of the gospel, was a most delightful sight,” Rush wrote. “I do not believe that the Constitution was the offspring of inspiration, but I am as perfectly satisfied that the union of the states … is as much the work of divine providence as any of the miracles recorded in the old and new testament were the effects of a divine power.” Rush’s happy conclusion: “’Tis done! We are become a nation.” That nation, however, was...

Enhancing Safety on Franklin Street

Enhancing Safety on Franklin Street By Mark Dreger We're excited to share an update on the Franklin Street Quick-Build Project, an effort to enhance traffic safety on Franklin Street between Broadway and Lombard Streets. This roadway stretch was the site of 38 collisions between 2017 and 2021, including the tragic loss of a Sherman Elementary School paraeducator in November 2021. Our data-driven approach focuses on several key safety improvements, and we are ready to share the evaluation results and the next steps to bring further safety changes to Franklin Street. The project includes the implementation of a suite of safety measures focused on the intersections where neighborhood stakeholders expressed most concerns during the outreach process. Painted safety zones (PSZs) have been installed to increase pedestrian visibility at crosswalks by keeping the corners of intersections clear. Slow-turn wedges have been added to encourage drivers to turn at safer speeds...

New top story from Time: Is the U.S. Entering a Fourth Wave of COVID-19?

https://ift.tt/3doS471 It’s the last news anyone wants to hear: one year after the United States was slammed with its first wave of COVID-19—which was followed by even worse second and third waves—public health experts are worried that the country is headed for a fourth major spike. During a White House coronavirus briefing on Monday, Rochelle Walensky, the new director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, begged Americans to keep following public health guidelines amid small but alarming upticks in cases, hospitalizations and deaths. “Right now, I’m scared,” she said. Other scientists tracking the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. agree that there’s plenty to be worried about. Cases are rising in the Northeast, Midwest and elsewhere. At the same time, many governors are relaxing measures intended to limit the spread of the virus, such as mask mandates and caps on restaurant capacity. Furthermore, as vaccinations continue across the country, some people are...

New top story from Time: 8 People Involved in Tokyo Olympic Torch Relay Infected With COVID-19

https://ift.tt/3vATfb8 Eight people who were involved in the the torch relay for the Tokyo Olympics have tested positive for COVID-19—the latest sign of trouble for Japan as it both struggles with a spike in infections and prepares for the Games this summer. More than 70% of people in Japan want the Olympics, which begin July 23, to be canceled or postponed, according to an April poll by Kyodo News . Runners of the relay, which began its journey to Tokyo on March 25 in Fukushima , have faced heckling and protests . The Japanese government, however, insists that the Games will go ahead following their delay in 2020 due to the pandemic. COVID-19 protocols released last month rely on frequent testing and isolation bubbles for athletes and coaches, but not strict quarantines or vaccinations. Fans from abroad have been banned, and organizers are weighing whether to bar Japanese spectators, as well . On Sunday, the country reported 5,900 new infections, and the number of COVI...

New top story from Time: Spain Is Going to Trial a 4-Day Work Week. Could the Idea Go Mainstream Post-Pandemic?

https://ift.tt/3f9c28F It wasn’t long after her company switched to a four-day workweek that Pilar Meseguer began noticing the benefits. Absenteeism fell nearly 30% at Delsol, the software firm in southern Spain where Meseguer is deputy director, and satisfaction rates among both her co-workers and their customers rose. But there were also some smaller, more personal gains. “I could go to the supermarket on Friday instead of Saturday when it’s packed with people,” Meseguer says. “It’s a simple thing, but it makes a big difference.” Soon, many of her compatriots may have the same experience. Earlier this year, the Spanish government agreed to begin a small, nationwide trial of a four-day workweek , and will meet in late March to hammer out the details. The concept itself is not new; the four-day week has been a goal of many left-leaning political parties since the start of the 20th century, and no less an authority than economist John Maynard Keynes argued that ever-increasin...
