San Francisco
Project Manager I (TCUP), Streets Division - San Francisco Municipal Transportat
San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Company Description
The Planning and Delivery subdivision of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is responsible for providing a safe, reliable and connected multimodal network. We are a team committed to transforming how projects are delivered and how people move. Our vision is rooted in vertical integration across the entire project delivery lifecycle and horizontal integration across all modes of transportation – including walking, biking, driving, and transit. The Muni Forward team leads the development of projects aimed at reducing transit delays and enhancing the safety and comfort of Muni customers across all routes.
SFMTA is currently in the process of developing a new train control system. The Train Control Upgrade Project (TCUP) is a critical, once-in-a-generation investment to modernize and grow Muni Metro for decades to come. TCUP aims to replace the outdated system that currently controls our Metro trains in our subways with a new, state‑of‑the‑art Communication‑Based Train Control (CBTC) system, and extend the new system to all on‑street Metro corridors.
