As San Francisco moves toward economic recovery, traffic congestion is expected to return. The San Francisco County Transportation Authority is studying whether congestion pricing could help reduce future traffic congestion, clean the air, increase street safety, and advance equity when the economy recovers. Congestion pricing would involve charging motorists a fee to drive into congested areas of northeast San Francisco during peak hours.
This week's Online Briefing for Faith Leaders, hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council, welcomes San Francisco County Transportation Authority Assistant Deputy Director of Planning & Manager of the Downtown Congestion Pricing Study, Rachel Hiatt, as our Featured Presenter. In addition to reporting on the Study's updates, Rachel will engage input on congestion pricing zone boundaries; fees, discounts, and exemptions; envisioned implementation timing and more.
Rachel Hiatt is Assistant Deputy Director of Planning at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and manager of the Downtown Congestion Pricing Study. In her 18 years with the Transportation Authority, Rachel has managed planning for other projects including the Treasure Island Transportation Program, the long range countywide transportation plan, and neighborhood transportation planning efforts. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin.
