Driving in The City increased substantially between 2019 and 2021, and public transit use fell commensurately, despite The City's quest to get people out of their cars.
Traffic backs up along Highway 101 near downtown San Francisco in August. Driving increased substantially between 2019 and 2021, according to an SFMTA survey.
The share of people taking priority modes has decreased dramatically in recent years, coming down from 46% in 2019, and 53% in 2017. The declines have been driven by people abandoning public transit. While walking and biking increased modestly between 2019 and 2021, public transit’s share of trips decreased by 11 percentage points.
The multilingual telephone survey reached 756 people over the age of 18, about two-thirds of whom were from San Francisco, and one-third of whom were from the eight other Bay Area counties. The survey asked San Francisco respondents about all of their trips in The City over the last two days. Residents of other Bay Area counties were asked about their two most recent trips to San Francisco over the past 30 days. The survey includes trips within The City as well as to and from it.
The greatest demographic divides were according to income. People in households making less than $75,000 took priority modes at a rate 10 percentage points higher than people in households making above $75,000. The difference was even greater in public transit usage. Less wealthy people took transit for 19% of trips, while wealthier people took transit for 5% of trips. The study did not break out responses according to race.
