New Dashboards Give a Window into Muni Service Changes

New Dashboards Give a Window into Muni Service Changes
By Kate McCarthy

An inspector manages Muni service. New dashboards that help inform changes to Muni service are now live at SFMTA.com/MuniData

Many factors inform our decisions about Muni service adjustments. These include making sure changes to service support the SFMTA’s values, which are economic vitality, environmental stewardship, trust and equity. We also evaluate travel patterns. You can now explore these patterns using the new Muni data dashboards (SFMTA.com/MuniData).

When looking at possible Muni service changes, the first thing we do is turn to the Muni Service Equity Strategy for guidance. Using the Muni Service Equity Strategy, we prioritize providing Muni service along routes that more often serve people of color, members of low-income households, and/or those who are dependent upon transit service, including people with disabilities and seniors.

We also use ridership data to analyze where riders are boarding and where and when there is crowding. This is how we determine if there are opportunities to better align ridership with how often the buses and trains run on specific Muni routes. The Muni data dashboards described below demonstrate some of the different ways ridership data can be sliced for these analyses.

Systemwide Muni Ridership Recovery - To see how current Muni ridership compares to pre-pandemic ridership, you can view our dashboard that shows Muni system ridership recovery percentage by month from April 2020 to now.
Muni Ridership Recovery by Route - We also have a view that shows Muni route ridership recovery percentage by month.
Average Daily Boardings by Route - This dashboard shows average daily boardings by Muni route and month (pre-pandemic to present). It helps transit planners see where riders are boarding Muni and shifts in ridership patterns. The percentages compare ridership in a given month to the same month in 2019. For example, on the 22 Fillmore, ridership increased to 117% of pre-pandemic levels on weekdays and 147% on weekends after we installed transit lanes, increased frequency and rerouted the line to bring people to their jobs and medical appointments in Mission Bay.
Percent of Daily Trip Crowding by Route - The Crowding dashboard shows each Muni line and the percentage of its trips that are crowded in a month. SFMTA transit planners look at which Muni lines are crowded so that they can determine whether more service is needed to address it.
Scheduled Service and Ridership Recovery by Route - This dashboard compares how much a route’s pre-pandemic ridership has recovered to how much service is scheduled on each route to meet ridership demand. This comparison can help identify how demand for different routes has changed since the pandemic. (NOTE: “Scheduled service” is not the same as service that was actually delivered. Because of operator shortages, we weren’t able to deliver all the service that was on the schedule pre-pandemic. This is an area we’ve dramatically improved on in recent years so that we are now delivering service that people can count on.)

Using the data described above – while being guided by the SFMTA’s values and the Muni Service Equity Strategy – allows us to make informed decisions about adjusting Muni service to best meet San Francisco’s needs. Now with our new Muni Data dashboards, you can see the numbers that help make these decisions.

New top story from Time: Here’s Why Chloé Zhao’s Oscars Win Was Censored in China

https://ift.tt/3voDBzG Nomadland director Chloé Zhao made history at the 2021 Oscars Sunday evening , becoming the first woman of color to win Best Director in the institution’s 93-year history. She is only the second woman ever to pick up the accolade, after Kathryn Bigelow’s win for The Hurt Locker in 2010. In her acceptance speech , Zhao spoke of her memories growing up in China and recited part of a poem called the Three Character Classic in Mandarin. The excerpt translates as “people at birth are inherently good.” The Oscars win , which preceded Nomadland ’s wins for Best Picture and Best Actress (for Frances McDormand), follows a similar scoop at the Golden Globes for Zhao, who was born in Beijing, and became the first Asian woman to collect that award too. On the same night, Yuh-Jung Youn became the first Korean actor to win an Academy Award for her role in Minari . Both of these firsts are milestones, especially given Hollywood’s long history of fetishiz...

New top story from Time: Deaths and Blackouts Have Hit the U.S. Northwest Due to the Unprecedented Heat Wave

https://ift.tt/2UgzckI SPOKANE, Wash. — The unprecedented Northwest U.S. heat wave that slammed Seattle and Portland, Oregon, moved inland Tuesday — prompting a electrical utility in Spokane, Washington, to resume rolling blackouts amid heavy power demand. Officials said a dozen deaths in Washington and Oregon may be tied to the intense heat that began late last week. The dangerous weather that gave Seattle and Portland consecutive days of record high temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 degrees Celcius) was expected to ease in those cities. But inland Spokane saw temperatures spike. The National Weather Service said the mercury reached 109 F (42.2 C) in Spokane— the highest temperature ever recorded there. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] About 9,300 Avista Utilities customers in Spokane lost power on Monday and the company said more planned blackouts began on Tuesday afternoon in the city of about 220,000 people. “We try to limit outages to one hour per...

New top story from Time: Meet the U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team for Tokyo

https://ift.tt/3w0i2VJ The United States is undeniably the country to beat at the Tokyo Olympics when it comes to women’s gymnastics; the country fielded the last two Olympic champion teams as well as the last four gold medalists in the all-around event. So it’s no surprise that gymnastics commentators say that making the U.S. Olympic team in women’s gymnastics, is, well, probably harder than making the podium at the Games. The six women who earned that privilege to represent Team USA in Tokyo are Simone Biles , Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum, who will compete in the team event, as well as Jade Carey and MyKayla Skinner, who will compete in the individual apparatus events. The structure of a four-member team and two specialists is new for the Tokyo Games, per the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), which added the two individual spots to allow smaller countries that couldn’t field an entire team to still participate.
