Beyond the Board

In addition to the Board of Directors, the SFMTA has a number of boards and committees that are authorized to facilitate agency governance regarding a host of critical transportation areas. Some of these entities are internal to the agency, with members who are SFMTA staff. Others are interagency committees staffed by the SFMTA and other City departments. There are also a number of citizen boards and committees designed to provide public input and involvement in the governance of the agency.

Many of the governing bodies of the agency are structured for the public’s involvement and participation.

Public Records Requests

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and its governing body, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors, are committed to providing members of the public their full rights to access public records in the possession of the SFMTA.

Public Records Request Policy and Procedures

History

In 1999 San Francisco voters passed Proposition E, which combined the Municipal Railway (Muni) and the Department of Parking and Traffic (DPT) into a new agency called the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). The SFMTA is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors appointed by the mayor. The SFMTA Board has the authority to appoint the Executive Director, approve the budget and set agency policy.
