District 4 Mobility Study |
Introduction
At the request of Supervisor Gordon Mar, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority is conducting the District 4 Mobility Study to explore ways to increase the share of walking, biking, and transit trips in the Outer Sunset and Parkside neighborhoods.
On a typical weekday before the pandemic, about 76% of trips starting in District 4 were made by people driving with 35% being trips with people driving alone. High rates of driving increases congestion, making it more difficult for everyone to get around.
Amid the global pandemic, congestion has mostly vanished. We don’t know exactly what the post-coronavirus future will look like. Nor do we know how the pandemic will affect driving trends. But we have the opportunity to use this time now to think about how to plan for more mobility options in District 4 in the future to support sustainability and economic vibrancy while reducing congestion.
