State of Good Repair/Capital Reinvestment Fact Sheet In the past year, despite debilitating operating budget deficits and declining revenues, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), which operates the City’s Municipal Railway System (Muni), has advanced key capital projects and aggressive preventive maintenance programs to ensure the integrity of the Muni system. Many of these state of good repair advancements were enabled by $71 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) funds awarded by the Obama administration. Along with critical economic stimulus funding, other important infrastructure improvement projects were furthered by additional regional and federal funds. Reinvestment into the Muni system is an SFMTA priority and essential for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods as mandated by the City’s Transit First policy. Maintaining system integrity is an important component of the SFMTA vision of ensuring safe, accessible, clean and environmentally sustainable service to its customers. Key fleet, infrastructure and facilities projects advanced in the past year by the SFMTA include: (1) Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) and Motor Coach Rehabilitation The SFMTA has used 93 percent of $71 million in ARRA funding to significantly advance its state of good repair needs in a concerted effort to guarantee the integrity of the system’s assets ($22.5 million). Using $15 million in allocated ARRA funding, the SFMTA has restored 143 Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) to original operating specifications improving vehicle reliability and ensuring the fleet’s ability to reach its expected life cycle of 25 years. The majority of these funds were allocated for door and step reconditioning, which account for 36 percent of total LRV chargeable failures, work falling outside normal maintenance and requiring overtime. Nearly 2,500 job hours were created or sustained for this project as a result of ARRA funding. The Motor Coach Component Life-Cycle Rehabilitation project, using $16 million in ARRA funding, allowed for the mid-life overhaul of 62 Neoplan high floor diesel coaches, approximately 20 per cent of the SFMTA Neoplan fleet. By replacing critical sub-systems that include the propulsion system, cooling system, pneumatic system, suspension system and doors, improved service levels are achieved and the mean distance between failures is increased. Other corrective maintenance work such as body and understructure repair and reinforcement will also be implemented. Federal funding will also allow for an upgrade of the FleetWatch Fluid Management Systems, critical to providing more accurate preventive maintenance scheduling and better coach reliability, safety and performance. As a result of ARRA contributions, it is estimated that the Motor

Coach Component Life-Cycle Rehabilitation project will result in 20 new hires and 16 additional jobs retained. (2) Fare Collection Equipment Replacement This project will bring the SFMTA into the 21st century by eliminating obsolete, paper fare media with the installation of a new state-of-the-art TransLink® fare collection equipment system. TransLink, an electronic fare payment system, will eventually allow transit customers to ride virtually every public transportation system throughout the Bay Area. With ARRA funding of $11 million, the SFMTA has been able to procure approximately 100 bi-modal fare gate aisles with customer interface devices; install up to 40 new ticket vending machines; install control panels and displays for booth agents; and install a central control data system allowing greater detail and access to ridership and revenue information. As a result of allocated ARRA funds, 18 direct, on-project jobs were created or sustained for this project. (3) Miscellaneous Rail Improvement Projects Emphasizing infrastructure improvement as the core to improving San Francisco’s quality of life, the SFMTA is winding down an aggressive $18 million rail improvement project to upgrade 70 miles of track work more than 30 years old. Upgrading of the N Judah, J Church and L Taraval lines will ensure safe, reliable Muni service for generations to come. These improvements go beyond new trackways to include streetscape enhancements, upgraded water lines, new overhead wire poles, curb ramps and updated Muni train signal priority devices. (4) Hand-held TransLink Card Readers for Cable Car System In the last year the SFMTA has incorporated handheld TransLink card readers for use on its iconic cable car system, the last of the agency’s five modes to acquire the new smart card technology. (5) Other SFMTA Infrastructure Improvement Projects In the past year, The SFMTA has augmented its preventive maintenance program with an additional $20 million in ARRA funding. As a result of allocated ARRA funds, 343 direct, on-project jobs were created or sustained for this project. A $6.1 million project to replace the deteriorating overhead wiring system on Hayes Street, including streetscape improvements, was also recently initiated. Other key infrastructure projects funded in part by ARRA include $4 million dollars in facility enhancement and maintenance; $1 million for the replacement of the Automatic Train Control System inductive loop cable throughout the Muni Metro Subway; $589,000 earmarked for Pedestrian Signal Upgrades; $343,000 for Inner Sunset Traffic Calming measures; and $350,000 for replacement of two out-dated cable car kiosks on Powell and Hyde streets.

This specially-insulated copper cable has been broken in hundreds of locations and has been splice beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation. ARRA funding will provide for purchase of a replacement loop as well costs incurred for reinstallation.

Muni improvements for Hayes Street likely to be approved Tuesday By: Will Reisman Examiner Staff Writer 03/01/10 1:25 PM PST

A $6.1 million project to restore and replace Muni’s deteriorating overhead electrical wiring system on Hayes Street will likely be approved Tuesday by the agency’s Board of Directors.

The project would replace the aging trolley poles on Muni’s 21-Hayes bus, restore or replace elements of the system’s overhead wiring system on Hayes Street between Market and Stanyan streets, and add new street lights, curb ramps and traffic signals. The majority of the funding for the plan is coming from federal sources.

If the MTA’s board approves the contract request at its meeting on Tuesday, it will go to The City’s Board of Supervisors for final authorization. Upon approval, construction on the project is scheduled to be completed within a year.

The ARRA’s investment in Muni has enabled the agency to upgrade critical infrastructure systems and promote the agency’s strategic priorities This commitment to Other important projects furthered to protect the systems assets (22.5 million) and Advancement of these projects has not only allowed the SFMTA to honor its vision and primary goal of ensuring customer safety and reliability across all

modes of transportation, but has to date created over 600 job opportunities created or sustained by ARRA funding. Funding for this project will provide for the procurement of pedestrian countdown signals for approximately ten intersections, Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) for approximately seven intersections and controllers and cabinets for approximately six intersections. The SFMTA will use its own resources to install the equipment. The installation of new pedestrian countdown signals and APS and the replacement of controllers and cabinets are consistent with the This project is The scope of the project includes, but is not limited to, the rehabilitation, upgrade and/or preventive maintenance at various SFMTA facilities. Implementation of these important projects is creating and retaining jobs while also reversing a trend of deferred maintenance and providing improvements for pedestrians, transit riders, bicyclists and motorists. Preventive maintenance funding will be used to support general preventive maintenance activities undertaken by the agency that are required to preserve or extend the functionality and serviceability of the agency's assets. As projects are performed, this website will provide tracking information. The Preventive Maintenance project is consistent with the following SFMTA Strategic Plan goals: Goal 1 – Customer Focus To provide safe, accessible, clean, environmentally sustainable service and encourage the use of auto-alternative modes which will improve vehicle reliability and passenger safety

other Description The ATCS inductive loop is a specially insulated (special order) copper cable installed in the length of the subway. It provides a transmission medium for messages between trains in the subway, via under-car antennas, and the controlling computers at Central Control.
