If you want more No Turn on Red in San Francisco, follow @StreetsForward, sign up for updates at StreetsForward.com, and get more involved at StreetsForward.org/get-more-in.

Together, we will make it safer, faster, and more convenient to walk, bike, and take public transit in San Francisco.

Your reminder that SFMTA prioritizes cars and driver convenience over people’s safety.

SFMTA could approve a citywide No Turn on Red policy if it wanted, and Mayor Lurie can direct SFMTA to propose it.

Support public safety and citywide No Turn on Red at NTORsf.com.

If you agree that more needs to be done to protect parklets—and people inside of them—or to help people shift trips from cars to bikes, public transportation, and other forms of sustainable transportation, follow @StreetsForward and sign up for updates at StreetsForward.org.

The recent car crashes that destroyed two businesses’ parklets highlight the negative impacts of cars on our city and the need for policy and infrastructure to help people shift trips from cars to bikes and public transit as well as physical infrastructure to protect parklets.

SFMTA beginning construction of the curbside bikeways on Valencia Street—replacing the flawed center bikeway—is a great step forward.

Now, the City needs to extend the curbside bikeways to Cesar Chavez Street and widen the bikeways for the entirety of Valencia, ideally in 2025.

@jsatk Great question!

More info will be posted on our website soon, but Streets Forward is a mode- and demographic-agnostic advocacy organization that is focused on helping people shift trips from cars to bikes and public transportation by organizing the general public, publishing public policy and infrastructure recommendations, and advocating for infrastructure and policy that is proven to make it safer and more reliable to bike and use public transportation.

Streets Forward builds upon the work that I’ve done as an individual advocate and will directly impact the future of San Francisco through its streets and transportation system.

Streets Forward will also not take funding from government, so our there are no conflicts of interest to weaken or eliminate our organizing and advocacy for critical policy and infrastructure improvements.

If you have other questions—or suggestions—please feel free to reply here or email me at Luke@StreetsForward.org.

Thanks again!

SFMTA’s plan to not expand parking meter hours in the evening and on Sundays is disastrous and inequitable, and runs counter to the goals and policies SFMTA and the City claim to prioritize. SFMTA must expand parking meter hours to fund Muni and other transportation improvements.

@jsatk That’s amazing to hear, and you’re not alone—many people’s lives have been changed by owning or using e-bikes!

If you or your wife want to get more protected bike lanes and other bike infrastructure created in SF, please sign up at StreetsForward.org and/or fill out the form at StreetsForward.org/get-more-in.

SFMTA should be making daylighting intuitive by installing bike corrals, bikeshare stations, planters or benches in daylighting spaces.

In the meantime, ignoring state law and allowing cars to be store within 20 feet of crosswalks decrease public safety.

We need leadership now.

@scott That’s fair and understandable. To be clear, I’m not celebrating this, but rather using it as an opportunity to remind (local) policymakers that they can—and should—focus on what they can do to help address the climate crisis, specifically by helping people shift trips from cars to bikes, public transportation, and other forms of sustainable transportation. For too many years, policymakers in San Francisco and California have treated electric cars as the cure to our climate crisis, which is clearly flawed and short-sighted thinking fueled by the auto industry.

2025-02-09

We can help people shift trips from cars to bikes and public transportation by creating a connected network of protected bikeways and more transit-only lanes and incentivizing bike usage by funding an e-bike incentive program and low-cost, expanded bikeshare.

Support funding for the e-bike incentive program at eBikeSF.org — signing the petition only takes a few taps and less than a minute and you’ll be making a difference!

Together, we can help the City address the climate crisis and our roadway safety crisis immediately.
