“I have been an accessibility advisory member for over 20 years. Since we founded the “Elderly & Handicapped Advisory Committee” in 1983, Muni has made greats strides in making the system more accessible. As a Giants fan and a power chair user, I’m most proud of MAAC’s efforts to make the Ballpark Express service wheelchair accessible. We are proud of what we have accomplished, but there is always more work to be done.” – Bruce Oka

The Muni Accessibility Advisory Committee (MAAC) is a group of seniors and people with disabilities who are experienced Muni customers. Committee members provide input on the accessibility of all aspects of Muni’s services. Recent examples include reviewing the specifications for and testing a prototype of the new low-floor vehicles for accessibility, and participating in planning for upcoming Bus Rapid Transit projects on Van Ness Avenue and Geary Boulevard. MAAC was also closely involved in the development of the T-Third light rail line.

We Need Your Ideas

Do you have ideas about transit services in San Francisco? Here’s an opportunity to help! The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency is looking for people to serve on its Accessibility Advisory Committee.

MAAC is looking for representatives from organizations and individual community members who are interested in actively working to improve transit accessibility. The SFMTA invites you to participate in the next MAAC meeting. The committee meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s offices on the third floor of 1 South Van Ness (at the intersection of Market Street and Van Ness Avenue).

Prior to the meeting, you may review the previous meeting’s agendas and minutes that are posted at www.sfmta.com/maac.
