The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has developed a contingency plan in the event of a strike by the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART). Should a strike occur,  more than 130,000 customers who normally travel daily into San Francisco could be seeking other means of getting to their destinations. The plan aims to provide SFMTA services in the City to those displaced by a strike and endeavors to avoid or minimize gridlock.

The linked maps cover the best transit alternatives from the Daly City border to the Bay Bridge and provide details of Downtown alternatives, including parking and casual carpool location

• To keep major BART corridor service fully staffed, the SFMTA will prioritize Muni service along the following bus routes and rail lines during peak hours:
  • 14 Mission
  • 49 Van Ness-Mission
  • J Church to and from Balboa Park/Geneva
  • N Judah to and from Caltrain @ Fourth and King

Note: Muni vehicles stop only at existing marked Muni stops. Reroutes over streets not normally served by Muni will operate non-stop over those streets. Exceptions to this policy, if any, would be noted above as "temporary stop."

Note: All times shown on this page are for expected effects on Muni service, not for the event or activity itself. Events or activities may start or end earlier or later than the times shown. All times are subject to change based on actual conditions. Reroutes may be added, removed or changed, also based on actual conditions.
