Share your feedback regarding MUNI service cuts.
Based on community feedback, we now have a proposal to reduce Muni service beginning this summer to minimize impact to our ridership. Learn more about this proposal on the summer 2025 Muni service cuts webpage.
What’s in the proposal
Our proposal aims to take advantage of areas with abundant transit service to help address our funding shortfall. We propose to connect existing service coverage and frequency to these transit-rich areas. This saves resources that currently provide duplicate service. Learn more at our summer 2025 Muni service cuts webpage.
What’s next
We plan to present this service cuts proposal to the SFMTA Board for their consideration at the Tuesday, March 18 meeting, with a tentative follow-up meeting to take place on Tuesday, April 1 at 1 p.m. To provide feedback, you can attend the meetings in-person or share your feedback before the meeting by sending an email to MTABoard@SFMTA.com and cc MuniCuts@SFMTA.com. Comments can also be left at 415.646.2005. Comments must be received by 12 p.m. the day before the meetings to ensure your comment is received by the Board in advance of the meeting.
For more information and free language assistance at the meeting with 48 hours’ notice, you can call 415.646.2005 or email MuniCuts@SFMTA.com.
Previous approaches
In February, we shared that we will likely have to cut Muni service this summer due to our budget constraints. This is because of a $50 million budget shortfall facing the SFMTA in our July 2025 to July 2026 budget.
We sought feedback on three possible approaches to cutting service based on different goals:
Preserving high ridership routes
Maintaining all existing connections, or
Preserving service on routes in neighborhoods identified by our Muni Service Equity Strategy
What we heard
Since then, we’ve received feedback from thousands of community members. We collected feedback through:
Tabling at busy Muni stops
Presenting at SFMTA Board and community meetings
Emails to MuniCuts@SFMTA.com
Phone calls and voicemails at 415.646.2005
Responses to an online multilingual feedback form
Overwhelmingly, the feedback we heard was to not cut Muni service. There was not consensus on whether to prioritize maintaining frequency or maintaining connections. We know these are difficult choices. We appreciate your help as we work to reduce the impacts of possible service cuts.
