Document Description
The City and County of San Francisco (City) is proposing the implementation of a Transportation Sustainability Program (TSP), which consists of two interrelated policy initiatives. The first concerns a funding program, referred to as the Transportation Sustainability Fee (TSF), which would include the collection of a new fee on new development and the allocation of the revenue to a program of improvements designed to allow the transportation system to accommodate the increased transit demand associated with new development. The second initiative would be implementation of a new methodology for assessing the impact of new development on the transportation system, the Transportation Significance Standard (TSS). The TSS would eliminate the use of Level of Service (LOS) methodology, which assesses the extent of delay in vehicle travel at intersections from new development, and instead would focus on assessing whether a new development would conflict with the implementation of San Francisco's General Plan policies emphasizing multi-modal transportation system performance, principally using performance standards related to transit crowding and transit delay, as well as standards for pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
