DIVISION: Sustainable Streets Division

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

Requesting that the SFMTA Board of Directors approve a resolution amending Division II of the San Francisco Traffic Code by amending Sections 302 and 501 and adding Section 503.

SUMMARY:

· As part of the implementation of Prop. A, the Police Code provisions were repealed, but were inadvertently not reestablished in the new Transportation Code.

· While the legislation is updated to clarify or remove outdated provisions contained in the former Police Code provisions, there are no proposed changes to the specific street segments where commercial passenger vehicles are restricted.

· Traffic Code Section 302 is amended to add a fine for violations of Section 503, which is a moving violation enforced by the San Francisco Police Department.

· The amendment also includes a minor technical correction and clarification to Transportation Code Section 501 (Vehicle Weight Restrictions).

· In accordance with the requirements of Charter Sections 4.104 and 16.112, notice of this public hearing on the fine amounts has been published.

PURPOSE

SFMTA Board approval of this resolution would amend San Francisco Transportation Code, Division II, by amending Section 501 (Vehicle Weight Restrictions) to make a technical correction and clarification, adding Section 503 to establish street segment restrictions for commercial passenger vehicles; that were formerly contained in the San Francisco Police Code, and amending Section 302 to provide a penalty for violations of Section 503. There are no changes to the street segments where commercial passenger vehicles are restricted.

GOAL

Goal 1 – Customer Focus: To provide safe, accessible, clean, environmentally sustainable service and encourage the use of auto-alternative modes through the Transit First Policy.

DESCRIPTION

The passage of Proposition A by the voters in 2007 amended the San Francisco Charter to give the SFMTA broad authority to regulate the flow of vehicles and traffic on City streets, including specific authority to limit the use of certain streets to categories of vehicles. As part of the implementation of Proposition A, the City's former Traffic Code and various traffic-related provisions located in other City codes were repealed, and these laws were consolidated in the new Transportation Code.

In carrying out the implementation of Proposition A, the Board of Supervisors passed Ordinance 287-08, which repealed San Francisco Police Code Article 16 Division IX (Section 1183 et seq.), containing the street restrictions for commercial passenger vehicles. Section 1183 of the Police Code read in part that:

It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any commercial motor vehicle with seating capacity of eight or more passengers, other than a passenger-carrying commercial van, used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit, upon the streets or areas designated in Section 1183.1 et seq. of this Article. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any passenger-carrying commercial van, used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation or profit, upon the streets or areas designated in Sections 1183.14 et seq. of this Article.

Ordinance 287-08 also added a new Section 7.2.87 to the San Francisco Transportation Code, Division I, to replace the previous regulation contained in the Police Code. Section 7.2.87 makes it a violation

To operate a commercial motor vehicle with a seating capacity of eight or more passengers used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation or profit upon the streets or areas designated in Division II, Section 503, except as permitted in that Section.

Photo of regulator sign stating TOUR BUSES AND VANS PROHIBITED Transportation Code Division II, however, does not currently include a Section 503; the designation of street segment restrictions was inadvertently omitted. This proposed legislation would amend Division II by adding Section 503, containing the restricted street segments, and updating the exemptions applicable to those restrictions to eliminating obsolete provisions and conform to applicable State laws, including the California Vehicle Code and California Public Utilities Commission requirements. In addition, the scope of the restrictions has been revised to apply to vehicles carrying 9 or more passengers including the driver, rather than the previous “eight or more passengers,” to clarify the original intent of the law. Signs already posted on the streets in question (reading TOUR BUSES AND VANS PROHIBITED, pictured to the right) will not be affected by this regulation.

The street segment restrictions listed in Section 503 are the segments that were contained in the prior Police Code provisions. The street segments have been ordered alphabetically. No additional streets are being proposed as part of this regulation, although the restriction at 6^th Avenue, between Lincoln Way and Kirkham Street (former Police Code Section 1183.30), which had a note in the Police Code that it was due to expire December 31, 2001, has been made permanent (the signs announcing this restriction were never removed). The addition of any additional streets in the future would require an amendment of Section 503 by SFMTA Board.

Section 302 has also been amended to include a fine for violations of Section 7.2.87. The fine schedule was developed in consultation with the San Francisco Police Department, and consists of a graduated fine schedule as follows: $100.00 for the first offense; $200.00 for the 2nd offense within one year; and $500.00 for the third offense within one year.

Today’s public hearing on the proposed fine amounts for violations of Section 503 was noticed in the City’s newspaper on accordance with Sections 4.104 and 16.112 of the City Charter.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

If the proposed amendments are not adopted, Division I would have to be amended by the Board of Supervisors to remove a reference to Section 503 of Division II. Commercial passenger restrictions would then have to be approved through resolutions of the SFMTA Board rather than by changes to a specific chapter of Division II of the Transportation Code. The proposed listing of regulations in the Transportation Code, however, was considered to be more in keeping with previous City practices on this matter.

FUNDING IMPACT

None. Fines for violation of Section 7.2.87 are considered moving violations, which are not collected by the SFMTA but by the SFPD.

OTHER APPROVALS RECEIVED OR STILL REQUIRED

This legislation has been determined to be categorically exempt from Environmental Review, Class/Section 15060(c)(2) non-physical change, by Jerry Robbins of the Sustainable Streets Division.

The City Attorney’s Office has reviewed this calendar item and the proposed Transportation Code amendments.

RECOMMENDATION

SFMTA staff recommends that the SFMTA Board of Directors approve and adopt the proposed amendments to Articles 300 and 500 of the Transportation Code, to impose restrictions for commercial passenger vehicles on certain street segments, fix penalties for violation of those restrictions, and make a technical correction and clarification.
