As part of our contingency planning, we are preparing for what might happen if our overall staffing levels drop significantly or if a small, but vital group-such as our Transit Management Center or Power Control Center-is significantly impacted. Either of these situations could leave us with no choice but to make additional Muni service reductionssuch as cancelling routes or introducing bus substitutions for rail service.
We are doing our best to avoid this situation by communicating proactively with staff about masking and staying home if they have any symptoms and keeping some staff working vital functions at remote locations to limit exposure. We are grateful that nearly 100% of the SFMTA workforce is vaccinated, and we are encouraging boosters as an effective precaution. We are also doing hard work behind the scenes to prepare signage, operator instructions, and all the other materials we would need to implement changes as smoothly as possible - in the case these become necessary.
