The Transportation System and Congestion in San Francisco Sample Clauses

The Transportation System and Congestion in San Francisco. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Francisco Bay to the north and east, the City and County of San Francisco occupies almost 50 square miles on the northern San Francisco Peninsula. The city is a leading financial, cultural, and transportation center both in California and internationally. The city and region boast a number of top-tier research centers and universities. It is also home to several Fortune 500 firms and more than 60,000 small businesses. As with other metropolitan areas in the country, the San Francisco region continues to experience growth in population and employment. This growth has resulted in significant roadway congestion. According to the Texas Transportation Institute’s Urban Mobility report,3 currently about 82 percent of auto travel and 60 percent of lane miles are congested during peak periods. The estimated population for the city and county of San Francisco is currently about 809,000. According to San Francisco County Transportation Agency (SFCTA), the city expects to add 19,000 more households and 110,000 new jobs by 2025. This future growth will further increase traffic and travel times. Overall trip making in the city is expected to increase by 12 percent from 4.5 to 5.0 million trips per day and 65 percent of those trips are expected to be internal trips as opposed to trips to and from areas outside the city. An effective and efficient transportation system is critical to the economic health, vitality and quality of life in San Francisco. The city’s dense and diverse land uses and its mature grid street system make it a very pedestrian-friendly city. The city also offers a variety of public transit travel options including light rail (streetcars), heavy rail (subways), commuter rail, trolleybuses, diesel buses, cable cars, and ferries. San Francisco’s roadways include bicycle routes and facilities, two major freeways, and two major regional toll bridges (Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge) with priority for high occupancy vehicles. According to SFCTA, the current mode share for all travel is 62.1 percent for autos, 17.2 percent for transit, 19.3 for walking, and
